Attendances 2014

[Jofspring]

There was an attendance of 328 at the match in Athlone and yet Drogs fans were(apparently) able to get down the tunnel and to the dressing room doors to confront Drog officials.I'm asking about the security at the ground in this instance?

I don't know the story since they have been promoted as we haven't been up there yet but when they were in the first division it was always fairly easy to walk in to the dressing room/tunnel area if someone wanted to.

[ATFC-1887]

I thought you were banned ATFC-1887, at least that is what you said in the athlone town statement thread?

We appealed the ban, so we had to be let in until the ban appeal hearing.. All very formal and that

[redarmyfaction]

It is when you've only been a midtable team for a few weeks and started the season with 2500-3000 a week.

Yeah thats right we were bottom half/relegation zone before that.

[Charlie Darwin]

2,726 at Turner's Cross. They got more for Derry last month. This World Cup is a pox.

[BonnieShels]

There were no games on today Chuck. No excuses. Except maybe summer.

[Charlie Darwin]

Summer finished on Wednesday, no excuses. People have been exposed to a barstooling fiesta for the past two weeks.

Must be the endless sunshine here that makes me forget about home's weather. Ah well. I'll continue to barstool from here. No direct bus to Tolka ya see.

[Charlie Darwin]

Ah yeah, I forgot you were out there where all those awful people are.

[BonnieShels]

Canadians truly are the worst. So brash and loud.

[adamd164]

Disappointing alright - still the highest attendance in either division though tonight so could be worse all the same! We'll take the hit and move on.

[nigel-harps1954]

Scarcely 300 in Finn Park tonight. Very disappointing altogether, but hopefully the win, added with a good result against Shamrock Rovers B next week could see a rise in attendance for the next home game.

[Terry]

1065 for Galway v Longford

[Ezeikial]

According to extratime only 780 at St Pats V Bray.

Surely this can't be correct for the League Champions?

There was no official number given but there wasn't a good crowd at it.

[oriel]

I saw a photo of the main stand at Pats last night and it didn't look good. Why has there been such a sharp drop in crowds?

Getting less than 1k and I'm hearing it was a lot less than 800 for Pats v Bray is very worrying.

I've no idea how we managed it and I was unfortunate to have gone to most that year, but the dreadful Dundalk side of 2012 (that probably should have been relegated) got an average of 900 that season.

[dong]

Why would anyone other than a Pats fan care?
Crowds there have been poor for a long time now.
The faux concern is funny.

[nigel-harps1954]

302 official attendance Harps v Waterford.

[Lim till i die]

300 max at Limerick v Bohs.

If we keep "performing" like that your gonna see the curious phenomenon of a minus figure crowd before seasons out.

Tonight was first time i saw people get nasty. Athlone away next week could be rowdy.

[NeverFeltBetter]

I've seen abuse flung at Taylor before in Thomond that got fairly venomous, at the first Athlone game actually. It died down when Limerick went ahead the second time. There's been an undercurrent of dissatisfaction with him for a while, and his pitchside behavior doesn't help.

I have no idea how they can get more people into Thomond, other than to start winning and never stop. They can ask for as much feedback as they like on Facebook and the website, but that's what it all comes back to.

[Longfordian]

Could do with leaving Thomond asap, though I know it's not as simple as that as there's no ready alternative. Must be costing a fortune though.
