    Extratime or one of the papers had 1800 for Saint Never Relegated, which looked about right to me.

    Was a bit surprised at that one myself. Pats vs Bohs in Inchicore normally averages around 2k

    Bray have never had good attendances - bar an FAI Cup final when people were let in for free.

    It's looking this year that 3 teams with a good geographical spread, history, fanbase etc are in danger of being relegated, whilst a few of the teams that are weaker off the pitch are looking likely to stay up. Well done FAI !

    rather unusually I'm defending the FAI.. Surely the 3 teams with a good geographical spread history fan base etc are more responsible for their situation than the FAI, two of them would have gone down anyway, plus is it not fair play to Harps etc.

    The point is that the way you answer the many challenges facing Irish football is not to send more clubs into the graveyard division, replicating a change that has been tried twice already this century and deemed a failure.

    It has or is a scatter gun effort - try everything in hope that something is a silver bullet, i think everything superficial has been done at this stage with mid season split, 10 teams, 12 teams, 10 teams and summer football, cherry picking clubs, relegating 2 then 3, promotion/relegation playoffs, we had an all-Ireland competition, 4th and 5th will now play in a Scottish Trophy etc. The only window dressing that hasnt been done is Europa League play-offs. All bar spending any significant resources on the league. Maybe that tide is turning at least from a representation point of view if the FAI really are lobbying hard for sports grants and underage structures being properly introduced. Any mention of mid season splits fills you with dread as any club in the bottom half of the split unless in the middle of a relegation battle crowds drop off so being top of the bottom is nearly worse than in a dog fight. As for 1st Division well it just gives you the heebie jeebies at the thought - be very afraid Pats fans as it truly is as bad as people say.

    Window dressing and chopping and changing is just short-termism. What’s needed is a commitment to a decade-long framework with unchanging numbers in the divisions and multiple goals – centralised marketing and advertising for attendances, PR and community relations for increased awareness and respect, (both either through the FAI or, my preference, hiring competent professional agencies) improved facilities and bringing through young professional players from affiliations with local junior clubs to enhance clubs’ community embeddedness. And not twitching when something isn’t perfect first time round, but seeing it through over the course of the plan.

    That’ll cost a chunk, which is why the FAI should emphasise job creation and income tax revenue, more tax from sales of club merchandise and club profits from higher attendances, social benefits etc when lobbying for state funding. The more that flows back to the exchequer, the more the Department of Finance approves, and that’s where the money comes from – not Sport or Health or Local Government or whatever other department disburses funds the league could tap into.

    There seems to be an upward swing in PD attendances – it’s the right time to invest – but the hard work will be in the FD. You'd hope in time that if PD attendances do increase, when a club gets relegated the percentage fall-off in attendance would still leave the club not far from its old PD average unlike the catastrophic halving that some clubs experience now.
    Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

    With 3 home wins all season its no wonder. 1400 is your regular heads. If they put a good run together it would increase significantly. Limerick people are very fickle.

    Bit late now but I read something somewhere over the weekend that there was an official crowd given for Drogs v Dlk as 1,681 or something, def 1,6xx, heard at the Dlk v Harps match that Drogs sold over 1k tickets to Dlk fans on the night, seems a bit high but not sure there was more than 600-700 home fans there so maybe wasn't too far out.

    Considering Limerick were getting only about a tenth of that crowd a few seasons ago, I'd say yees have little to complain about in fairness.

    1,400 as a base-line attendance would be pretty damn good in the LOI.
