About 200-250 at Wexford-Shels.
I dont see how, There was no guarantee that your 800 would have shown up anyway. Would that so called 800 only show up because they have nothing better to do?
We have had at least 2000 at every game on a Friday this season, so I don't think it's a stretch to presume the same would have happened.
They'd be showing up because they have done so every other week, presumably to support the club, something they couldn't do with the change of date and last minute change of time.
On the other hand it's quite likely that some, or many, of the fans at the NI Scotland game were locals and neutrals who went along to the game, based on the number given for NI fans who travelled. Can't imagine many Welsh made the trip over for the scintillating fixture either.
The FAI screwed over the league's clubs, reduced their takings, and showed how important they viewed the league for a game between 2 nothing sides with no fans that was so vital that even most of the players couldn't be bothered turning up.

Around 4,200 in Tallaght I would have thought.

Sounds right, would have said about 1400 myself.
Very poor crowd but monday night football is a problem.

Someone said on Rovers forum 1999 don't know if they were serious. Dundalk had 30-40 down with worse roads to travel then the N17.

I'd say thats about right. There was quite a poor turnout of bohs fans.

5700 in Tallaght (doesn't seem right - looked like a smaller crowd on TV)
600 in Belfield
450 in Drogheda
1600 in the Brandywell

Still cant see how moving a game back 24hrs would have any affect on the home crowd. Away support maybe but not home fans. Football on the tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, champions league final on the saturday, what more do you want?

Not everyone can do whatever they like. Some have to make arrangements to see a game etc
Whether you can understand it or not is immaterial, the FACTS are that when games are moved from their normal times, crowds suffer. Be that Thursday nights, or Saturday afternoons...
Still cant see how moving a game back 24hrs would have any affect on the home crowd.
Seriously?
Baffling tbh. When something is regularly at 7.45 on a Friday, people structure their plans around that. Ever second Friday they're 'off' to watch the football. They may have arrangements not to be working, a regular babysitter etc etc.
When it's randomly moved to a Thursday for absolutely no good reason, this inconveniences fans. This is why people have a regular night and don't just play a different night every game!
When you add to this the time being changed to 6.30 the night before the game, it made it impossible for some people to make it from work (MFA's fault not FAI's)
Overall, moving nights= smaller crowds.
Having ridiculous times means even smaller crowds.
Net result= 800 (more than a third) less than we would have had on the Friday.

would it be completely unfeasible that City could end the season with the second highest average attendance? bring back one or two of our former players, an increase in attendances towards the end of the season if we are going well and look like winning the league?
unlikely I know but not completely impossible

It's not completely impossible that Limerick will end the season with the second highest average attendance.
Unlikely I know but not completely impossible.
I wouldn't let it keep you up either way anyway, a good 76% of the attendance thread is nonsense.

Not a chance, 5,700 is the two stands practically full.
About 4,300 - 4,500 I'd say.

And you have to move your fingers all the way from the number keys down to the letters, which is a minor inconvenience.
Waterford United v New Ross Celtic was 615 as per extratime.ie. That's a bigger crowd than some recent league games and New Ross apparently brought a decent amount of fans the short journey up the N25.

No official reason was given for the change but apparently the club had rented out the youth development centre on Friday for a "stricly come dancing" event which attracted an attendance of 2,000.Pity some off them didnt hang around.

You're all just a bunch of glory hunter anyway. Not a chance you would have had 2000 there when you were in division 1!

Was just a guess at 250. And most definitely much more than 50 Harps fans. How much does that stand hold out of curiosity?

think extratime guestimated 1600 at our game in Midleton on Friday, sounds about right.

1077 at our League Cup game with Pats yesterday

If the kind of crowd you can draw for a cup game against a two bit First Division outfit is what marks you out as Irelands no. 1 then it would appear that the honour goes to Midleton.
