1800 in Tallaght according to The Star and a few on TrampTalk.

That's miles out to be honest. It was in around the 3,000 mark.

Limerick - 2,869 (734 FD; 569 FD; 598 FD; 429 FD; 517 FD; 670 FD; 364 FD; 669 FD)
Rovers - 3,433 (3,127; 3,779; 3,794; 3,611; 1,468; 1,715; 1,089 FD; 1,539)

Early days yet for Limerick of course, but I think the above shows the real power of quality facilities - two teams who added 2000 bums on seats per game, thanks to moving into quality facilities.

How many would Limerick have attacted to a standard LOI ground upon their return to the premier division after 20 odd years?

Well in excess of 2,000 I'd say.

The last time Limerick were in the premier division they had terrible crowds in a terrible ground ( Rathbane), there was bound to be a bump in their crowd on promotion after twenty years but I would very much doubt if they would have attracted 1,600-2,000 extra fans if they spent their first promoted season in Jackman.
As Shamrocks have shown, good facilities ( albeit someone elses facilities), novelty and some on field success draws the crowds in.
How to sustain those numbers when the novelty wears off and the success tapers off is going to be the challenge to both clubs.

Considering their average attendance is up by about 2,100 so far this season, is your argument now that the facilities at Thomond are actively keeping people away from Limerick games and they'd be more comfortable in a field?

What exactly are you basing that opinion on though? They haven't played in the division in 20 years and tey were getting ****e crowds back then

They were getting 500 a game until th latters tages of last season. No other clubs have seen their crowds treble upon promotion

Are really comparing attendances in the first and premier divisions?

Have you watched a lot of first division football and followed a team around that graveyard for years?

Limerick have a good squad and there is a good buzz in the city towards the team they are building.

If you want to think their attendances are due to architecture spotters, fine.

Well you've just wiped 66 off right there ;)
There was about 25 Lims fans.

Well there was two small buses and a few cars that went up. One bus had 21, the other around 15 but not exactly sure and I'd say another 15 or so driving. So on a guess i'd say between 40-50 of us.

Estimate of 2,400 in Tallaght. Had you put everyone in to the main stand it would be almost full.

13/04/2013, 11:16 AM

Would have said around 400 or so in Lissywollen. Maybe less. About 40 or 50 Harps fans down slightly scattered to the far end of the stand.

EDIT: 467 on ET.

Was at Tolka; offical figure given out was 1047 including the President Micheal D and a fair few Gardai. I would estimate 80-90 drogheda fans in the far stand. Since the ground is near St Pats College I wonder have Shels ever tried to attract some of the students there to go to their games, I know they are most likely to be GAA fans and a lot go home at the weekends, but it could be a source of more customers. I noticed a distinct lack of fans in their 20's there last night.

Was about 400 at the Rams-Mervue game,terrible night for it and doubt many would have left their sitting rooms after the Rugger match..missed a good game though!

Lim till i die

14/04/2013, 2:57 PM

I was bored up to kick off and counted 55 of ye!!

I was in the bar until a couple of minutes after kick off....

Just saw the Limerick attendances debate here.

The most part of our crowd increase is without a shadow of a doubt in my mind down to facilities.

You only have to look at what's turning up to the games. Fellas are bringing their kids now and even more curiously I've noticed these smaller than us, high pitched things have started to turn up at Limerick games. I'm reliably informed they're called "women".

We've been lucky with the fixtures aswell. Difficult bunch from a football point of view but off the pitch Cork, Pats and Rovers were always going to be decent crowds. The most impressive figure that we've had was the 1712 against UCD on a Tuesday. That would have had 200 written all over it last year!

I reckon our crowds are about to level out as well. Our next two home games are Bohs on Tuesday and then Shels Saturday week and I'll be very (pleasantly) surprised if we get more than 3000 combined for those two games.

Bohs are no real draw anymore and we've no form to speak of heading into it while the Shelbourne game is on the same day as Team Munsters Budweiser Trophy semi final game in Germany.

If our crowds for the season average out at anything above 1200-1500 it's a great success.

We've had a great start - Bit will crowds stay at that level?? Of course not.

Took Cobh as 400 estimate. Nothing on Extratime.ie or anywhere else.
Shamrock Rovers estimate was 1,800. Will correct as official figure comes in (although they haven't released an official attendance yet this season)

Possibly the weakest week yet attendance wise. Just under 9,000 people at 9 games. Obviously missing an extra Premier Division game, but still poor yet considering improving attendances in some grounds. 1,800 is probably one of the worst league attendances in Tallaght since the move there.

At this stage though, it's looking like most averages are exactly where they were expected to be, even at this early stage of the season.

I'd say 400 is about right, shocking night weather wise, which impacted the attendance. I'd imagine it should be better for our next game.

It wasn't as low as 1800, extratime's estimates in tallaght are dreadful.

When we played Sligo in the 1-1 last season extratime estimated 3000 when nearly double that was there.

In fairness, they've been very kind to Rovers this season. 3,500, 4,000, 2,800 and now 1,800.

I would say 3,200 were at Drogheda and there was no chance half the crowd disappeared..

Other than Sligo and Limerick I don't see any other clubs improving on last years average.Shams budgeted last year for an average of 2,500, I would be surprised if they get over that this season .
If you look at the 24k in Croke Park today with probably 4 of the top 5 crowdpullers you get some idea of the effect that the lack of disposable income among the population is having on sports events.Even Thomond wasn't full last night.( possibly saving their money to see the mighty Bohs on Tuesday)

It's hard to know what's going on with Derrys attendances this season. There's been no official attendances given and there seems to be argument that there's much more people going than Extratimes estimates suggest.

Totally agree, last year the fans weren't daft and knew the score after a month, that was effectively a FD side that was put together and damn lucky not to end up there.

Breath of fresh air this season, even leaving after the Derry defeat on Friday,losing 3-1 didn't seem to effect the mood, as fans on the way out were talking about ''still saw a decent game of football"

Why are you posting extratimes figure as if it's fact? Easily a couple of hundred more than that at the game. Shels brought the worst away Dublin Derby crowd to Richer that I can remember, maybe 250?
