Overall average - 1,284 (1,221; 1,235; 1,070; 1,195; 1,218)

After Week Ten last year:

Overall average - 1,507 (1,235; 1,070; 1,195; 1,218)

Crowds down 15%. That has to be hurting budgets around the league.

About 200 tops...

Yep, I counted 170-ish in the rovers half of the stand.
(sad I know, but I was interested to see after the large discrepencies in posts)

How far down did the crowds go from week ten to the end of season on average?

And if you know the % for that, you could make a rough estimate on how this seasons attendances could end.

(I hope I've explained what I mean).


EDIT: I've worked out the answer. Going by the drop last year from week 10 to end of the season, the % was 25.61%. So 25.61% drop of attendances from now (1284) will result in crowds falling to 956.

Obviously this isn't going to be 100% accurate and probably not close. Just using that years drop from week 10 to end of the season gives this figure.

Those crowds have held up well considering the dismal home form.

That sort of extrapulation just doesn't work though SB.

It doesn't take into accoiunt the fact that all clubs, and therefore the average, have a hardcore support below which the figures won't fall e.g. season ticket holders etc.

You can't just take a percentage drop from one year and extrapolate it into the next year as if all other things are equal.

And certainly not for this year. Because the league has been reduced to 10 teams, every club has more "big" matches.

I fully understand that and it was a calculation I done for a bit of fun (for want of a better word). Hence my last comment on the post you quoted.

There are so many factors this season that where not their last season. For example how much further is the Republics econonmy going to drop, how many more people are going to be out of work etc etc.

And then there is the more positive side where you have a smaller league which should mean more bigger games as some one else pointed out. (although in the long run, familiarity could be detrimental)

Obviously the economic factors are going to affect all leagues across Europe (and further a field) and it will be interesting to see how each league fares, especially leagues of comparable standard and size as the LOI, IL etc

I estimate 1,000 at Terryland for Galway v Bray, very poor for a team thats going well and on a nice evening. About 25 away fans.

The new Club CPO told me 872 was the official figure. I thought it was more but that is the figure he told me.

It was the first time in a long tome that the official attendance was not announced. I'm not surprised :o

I wasnt counted going in,others werent either and were just waved through with not even a glance at our season tickets.I thought there was approx 1000 but had heard a figure circa 1200.If it was 872 then its so dis-heartening for Leeson and the lads.

There wasn't much of an atmosphere at all apart from the last few minutes. The attendance was awful. I'd say 872 is right.

Attendance at Fingal V Athlone was 762 tonight.

Our crowds have been going up in the last few games. Last year that would have been about 350 to 400 for an athlone game at home. Hope we can keep it up

But how many of them are freebies or concessions/promotions?

Is every family ticket sold counted as 4 people - even if only two adults enter?

Not trying to be rude but i have answered that question a thousand times.

We where doing promotions and concessions last year and getting 3 to 4 hundred average home crowds. Now we are getting 6 to 7. Nothing to write home about but its an improvement. Im pretty familiar with morton now and its not hard to see the crowds have improved. The stand holds 800 and was nearly full. alot stand down below as well so it wouldnt be hard to see there was 700+ regardless of counting tickets. Believe me we are not trying to pull a fast one. (shels fan im guessing)

Agree. Worst league I can remember

As for the crowd, I'll get the official number later. The guesses could depend on when you looked as at least half the people around me didn't come back for second half. The corwd for our game last year was a good deal lower too
the game at the end of last season (danny murphy one nil - midweek game i think) was atrocious - 500 would have been a optimistic estimate

The figures for the FD this season appear to be very poor, I think overall in both we will be down unless a huge surge happens over the summer, but the FD is showing an alarming decline

Partly to do with your lot not being in the division. Not sure how much yous brought to clubs further afield but you tended to bring between 5 or 6 hundred to morton.

In our case there are many factors.

P!sh side, p!sh football, people at war over the running of the club and many fans who stayed away becasue of the manager have not returned even under new (caretaker) management.

Financially we are bad but if these gates continue we are fooked sooner rather than later. :(
Sam_Heggy
18/05/2009, 3:33 PM
By fooked do you mean being havin to drop to the a division cobh style or dropping out of loi football altogether?

Time will tell but it's no secret that we are not in good shape.
It's more a case of finishing the season then getting some sort of shape on things.

Work is still ongoing so, that is the main positive around the club lately.
I can't honestly answer you question, we hope it does not come to that predicament.
