Just to note usually 50% or more of bray crowds are the away fans.

I doubt that. UCD have smaller crowds, but even we're above the 50% mark on average.

It's probably a safe bet that the average attendances in Dublin are exaggerated compared to the outlying towns. Even more so this year, I'd reckon.

I don't know to insert a table but I had an hour to fill so I took the populations of each town /city including suburbs and evirons from the 2006 census http://beyond2020.cso.ie/Census/TableViewer/tableView.aspx and compared with the average attendances over the last six years from the thread on here and as many people guessed Sligo come top but who would have expected the mighty Longford to come next.

Towns Pop Av Att AV att/POP
Sligo 19402 1,774 0.091
Longford 8836 581 0.066
Ballybofey- 21762 942 0.043
Letterkenny
Drogheda 35090 1,514 0.043
Dundalk 35085 1,479 0.042
Bray 31901 1,149 0.036
Wexford 18163 596 0.033
Monaghan 6710 216 0.032
Derry 90736 2,710 0.030
Athlone 17544 453 0.026
Galway 72729 1,496 0.021
Waterford 49213 904 0.018
Cork City 190384 2,865 0.015
Gr.Dublin 1045769 8,250 0.008
Limerick 90757 537 0.006

I took the Derry pop from citypopulation.de.
Harps draw support from many Donegal towns but I only included Ballybofey/Stranorlar and Letterkenny (I am told that most come from there) I ought to included Swords in the Dublin figure but I couldn't be bothered.

redarmyfaction if the census was taken now theres not a chance that we would be second from top on the table now considering the crap attendnances we are getting these days . It still cheered me up though!

Same as us. A lot of our support has just stopped going the last 2 years. Crowds are way worse now than what they were through all our relegation battle and yo yo years.

The funny thing is that it seems to indicate that more skangers there are in a town the less support there is for the football when we always led to believe the opposite.

Tallaght and Dundalk are both full of filth and Rovers and Dundalk get good crowds

That doesn't explain the poor crowds in Inchicore though! (right, I'm leaving this thread before things get nasty...)
