A pretty poor weekend of attendances begs the question, should there be any domestic games on an international weekend?

The IL generally take the weekend off, and from a personal level, I'd like to see us do the same. I usually end up missing a match or two per season as I'm at an Ireland away game.
I reckon Easter probably had more to do with attendances dropping than the internationals though.

Hurt more by Easter holidays than the Ireland game

Probably a combination of both, and also added into the mix no home game for Cork or Rovers last weekend. A lot of fans may have spent a fair bit of cash travelling to and at the Ireland games. Easter probably the biggest factor though.

Which Ireland? *puts on helmet and ducks for cover*

Jaysis, someone was seeing double with their 550 estimate so.

[bluewhitearmy]

Thats hugely worrying was definitely very near to 100 Limerick if not over.

[ForzaHoop]

Harps V Longford was on a ****e night weather wise too in very open ground, hopefully if weather holds tonight
should be a larger crowd and depending on what Pats bring to

[El-Pietro]

Athlone vs Limerick 292

That is the exact attendance for a League Cup game between Cork City and Limerick at Turners Cross back in 2008 or 2009. Was played against Champions League Quarter Finals I think, maybe the Semis. I believ Manchester United were involved in that game. It was surreal being in the stadium when it was that empty.

Dark days for athlone, but the sad thing is take away traveling support and our attendance figures aren't much better at the moment.

During that game ye were on an attack and Mick Devine walked all the way over to sideline to ask score in the Man United game.

Not far off 292, the attendance for Dundalk's last home game of the regular dreadful season of 2012 v Bray was around 240 I think. They had already 'secured' the play off spot about 6 weeks earlier so hardly much to get excited about, still a shocking figure as the average that season was 950 I think. The play off v Waterford a week later had a crowd of 1,500 though.

2105 at oriel park according to Dundalk official Twitter.

[nigel-harps1954]

Doesn't look much more than around 400 at Wexford.

[gufc2000]

Bohs/Longford 1340

[nigel-harps1954]

Wexford v Bray - 416

[outspoken]

Bohs/Longford 1340

Is that all? Such a deceiving stand in Dalier, looked a lot more.

Were the season ticket holders included that day or not?

That's what extratime have down anyways in the match report, so open to correction
