[poster]

Any official attendance from HD Park last night? Looked very, very small to me.

[avvenalaf]

Woeful crowd.

[White Horse]

Only 1,014 turn up in Limerick to see the prospective media crowned Champions???

[Cuyahoga]

2.652 at Tallaght Stadium for Shamrock Rovers v Cork City according to Extratime.ie

[red bellied]

2.652 at Tallaght Stadium for Shamrock Rovers v Cork City according to Extratime.ie

How many freebie tickets were included in this?

[Cuyahoga]

I was just looking up Chesterfield's website to see if Eoin Doyle was playing today a nd spotted the attendance was 6,500 but they also put what the away attendance was which was 80 people. interesting , its a pity they dont give away attendances for a l.O.I games. Some I reckon would be less than ten. For the record Chesterfield beat Accrington Stanley 1.0 and Doyle was a 70th minute substitute.

[outspoken]

No official attendance given for town match tonight but id guess 200. local gaa, bad weather and poor results/football all added up. around 10 harps fans down

[nigel-harps1954]

2,946 corrected as Shamrock Rovers v Cork attendance per extratime.

No Harps fans in Longford because we've absolutely jack all to play for in the League and are now down to 3rd from bottom with Wexford beating Salthill.

[oriel]

its a pity they dont give away attendances for a l.O.I games. Some I reckon would be less than ten. For the record Chesterfield beat Accrington Stanley 1.0 and Doyle was a 70th minute substitute.

Definitely a good point, I been tracking Dundalk's crowds for a good number of years now, and for the those awful 7 years we spent in the FD last time, a lot of the away support was often zero. It really was only noticeable as we began to challenge, our crowds increased, then during games when we when conceded a goal, you could hear a pin drop.

Totally unconnected, but I read in Argentina this season, away crowds are banned, due to hooliganism.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Only 1,014 turn up in Limerick to see the prospective media crowned Champions???

The Limerick crowds are vanishing at this point, with the team having nothing to play for.

[Comic Book Guy]

About 330
in Cobh last night, decent sized support from athlone, surely they have it sewn up now

[PartySaint]

I'd be very surprised if there was over 1,000 at our game last night, looked like at most 250 Limerick fans.

[East stand hoop]

3,324 at the louth derby, great crowd

[oriel]

@DundalkFC: Official attendance 3,324

[Charlie Darwin]

That's terrific. How does that compare to the attendance in round one? I vaguely remember it being disappointing, especially from the Drogs end.

[White Horse]

That's terrific. How does that compare to the attendance in round one? I vaguely remember it being disappointing, especially from the Drogs end.

That was about 2,200, which wasn't bad but Drogheda are not really traveling in great numbers this season.

[Green&whitearmy]

probably around 300 tops for the bray v ucd game. Sh!t game and its no wonder both teams are down in the relegation battle. We are terrible and wont be srprised if we get relegated and then will probably go out of business unfortunately.

[Charlie Darwin]

Are UCD more or less safe now? Unless they lose all their games, it will take a lot of effort to cede 6 points to Shels and 5 to Bray. Bohs I think will be fine because they have the players to win matches.

[jinxy lilywhite]

i have to say that in my heart of hearts that there was close to 4k in OP tonight.

[oriel]

There should be no reason why the figure given is incorrect. Granted they got one wrong this season, the second Rovers game, but that has been explained, was an admin error from the ticket office. There will be the usual non paying in groups, and this will get bigger the bigger the game is, for eg they are hardly going to ask Liam Buckley to pay in, or his colleague who were there tonight. Media, sponsors, paid and unpaid workers all add up, but the club will only announce the number that paid in, and this is common practice.

EDIT, I am hearing cash was taken on one of the stiles just before kick off, possibly to ease congestion, not sure if these numbers were added to the tickets that were sold/scanned, but we have to go with the figure they reported and assume these were added to the total of 3,324.

[Yossarian]

i have to say that in my heart of hearts that there was close to 4k in OP tonight.

There was a huge queue to get in just before kick off and the big gate to the side of the stand was opened and cash taken. I doubt that was factored in to the attendance really so there could have been a lot more there than was reported. There are also quite a few people who get in without paying for various reasons and a lot of the time they aren't issued any ticket. I would guess there were at least 3 or 400 more than was reported.
Either way it's a fantastic attendance for a Sunday evening game.

[Nesta99]

i have to say that in my heart of hearts that there was close to 4k in OP tonight.

Stand full, Shed beyond the covered areas filled, 5 min terrace busy, and the first time in years that there were numbers standing behind the Town End goal, good travelling support; it is hard not to think that attendence wasnt pushing closer to 4k - no argument with official figure, Oriel is just hard to gauge support wise?

[oriel]

I still say 3,364 would be correct, as I'd imagine they added the overspill of the late qued up fans who were given the option to pay in cash around 6.55pm to the final total. Also the figure for media, sponsors, guests, paid and unpaid workers would prob be around 200, these are quite rightly not included as they dont pay in, so poss 3,500 but 3,364 would be the figure to record. Remember the stand has reduced seating now of 1,000, I was at the top, most but not every seat was taken, but you're right about the Shed, I've never seen this new version Shed so full, it was lenght to lenght filled. The '5 mins' terrace is a local nickname to the new uncovered seating area, to the right of the stand as you would see from TV or from the Shed. This looked well full also, and good point about behind the town goal, thats not an area that is usually 'busy'

Dundalk's total attendances are just under 30k now for the year to date (28,292) and to compare this to last year, it is almost double with 3 home games still to play. Last seasons total was 15,200.

[sadloserkid]

I'd be very surprised if there was over 1,000 at our game last night, looked like at most 250 Limerick fans.

There's an upper terrace too, I'd say you missed that.

[buttyk]

don't be blaming local gaa events on the non turn up off your so called 700 fans that turned up for athlone game. thanks for laugh again.8 points clear and your running outa time lol.seeing other mangers getting sacked for better runs lol

[PartySaint]

I didn't.

1938

[Jofspring]

It's weird how empty it always looks in the terrace from the other side but any time I'm down there it feels like a decent enough crowd.

Our crowds are understandably bad as our performances (Barr the other night) have been shocking at home at times and there are very few people that stick with the club through thick and thin.

don't be blaming local gaa events on the non turn up off your so called 700 fans that turned up for athlone game. thanks for laugh again.8 points clear and your running outa time lol.seeing other mangers getting sacked for better runs lol

I'm beginning to dislike the Athlone fanbase.

[bluewhitearmy]

Not a hope was there 1000 at the match going by that picture. Was also told that there were only slightly more Limerick then Pats by a steward on the night and there was 300 Pats.

[Battery Rover]

I'm beginning to dislike the Athlone fanbase.

Was funny at the start but is now getting really annoying. Haven't commented on it at all but will now just so it can hopefully be put to bed.

Wasn't at game but spoke to a number of people on the committee during it and not any of the supporters posting here. General consensus was two thirds of stand Athlone and whatever was behind goal at gate. So can be worked out from there.

In fairness seeing as we are on the brink we should be bringing that many to the next game in Salthill with 2000 plus at Waterford game a week later with a few more for the last game against Longford if we are to truly develop as a club if promotion gained. €40,000 plus in the kitty from gates from the last two home games would be a nice war chest going forward especially running 3 under age teams during the close season.

[ATFC-1887]

I'm beginning to dislike the Athlone fanbase.

Ah its only a bitta fun. Longford fans (not all of them) were having a go at us all season until we went top. Im sure we are entitled to have a go now. Its not often we are top of the league with 4 games to go. Lighten up

Your average attendance last season - 271. Average attendance this season, even with the couple of bigger attendances once ye went top, 556. And you're really trying to say it isn't possible for us to have a load of part timers too? Hope it works out as well for ye as it did for Mons.

[sadloserkid]

I'm beginning to dislike the Athlone fanbase.

Elements of them certainly.

[ForzaForth]

Attendance at Wexford Youths v Salthill Devon was 145.

If Athlone are getting a trophy, they'll get a big crowd.

[nr637]

What was the attendance at the Showgrounds on Monday nite for the u21 game v Germany.

5,340 is the capacity 2,800 seated. Dont know if 2,790 is official or not. I was there and I thought there was more.
