Limerick v Bray 1400.

1400 is a great attendance and shows how decent facilities will attract fans, but sadly they won't come back according to the Limerick forum with the performance that was out there on saturday night.

1400 people left the Markets Field on Saturday night scratching their heads wondering how the f8ck a manager can pick his sorry excuse for footballer Son and Paul O'Conor and leave them on the pitch for 90 minutes - baffling stuff when you consider Hughes and Agyemang were on the bench. It's a miracle that we have 5 points on the board when you consider that we start every game with 9 players!

I couldn't stand Russell in his short time with us. I was delighted when he left.

Is there any sign of ye to sign in a few decent players and not ones that ye have had before? It's the only way yel stay up but I'd imagine finances just aren't there?

We were relegated Saturday tbh

Freddy Hall is supposedly signing in the next few days - Bermuda GK, played with a few lower league teams in England Christ knows we need to get rid of that clown O'Donnell. Ali Abass is rumoured to be in hospital with malaria. Funny thing is we're probably one of the few financially secure clubs in the league!

[Nesta99]

That is very frustrating for Limerick to get 1400 out to a game and for the support to see a struggling team and asking questions of the manager like the ones mentioned. Timing is so important - if the move to Markets Field coincided with even a mid-table competitive side, or the resources afforded to Taylor were available this season. 1400 people back after the opening of Markets Field and a loss too shows the potential support for football in Limerick!

There's huge potential down here if we could put a decent team on the field. The support is there especially with the move back to MF but as per usual with Limerick has done things ar*e over fist - if you think about the way to go would have been to hold back on the budget until we got in there and then pushed on. Taylor was a poor choice IMO. I think we should have went with an experienced LOI manager that knew players around the league, on top of that the football he had us playing was muck and he wasted a lot of money on imports. If we could have been in the position to held on to the players we had at the end of last season and added one or two more we would have the makings of a very good side instead we have players like Sean Russell and Conor O'Donnell:mad:

[NeverFeltBetter]

There was a certain strange "If we'll build it they will come, and everything will be fine then" mentality this season. Such a huge overriding focus on getting the MF finished, while the team was ignored, like just having a new stadium would mean they would start playing well when it was opened. But the team is still really low quality, and now you start to wonder if Limerick will even be able to win a game in the Market's Field before the season is over, let alone work an escape.

I mean, I understand how some of the investments made in the last two years will stand to the club in the long term certainly. But I wonder, once Limerick go down, how long will it take to get back? Because the knock on financial hit of relegation will be another wound. How many will a home game against Cabinteely attract to the MF?

[Nesta99]

And Roddy's Waterford in his second championship season has top spot nailed and with possibly one of Harps, Youths, UCD, Shels missing out on promotion it could be a toughie all right!

Stephen Kenny was mad for the job even delayed signing anything with Dundalk in the hope of getting it and we went with Taylor instead. I'm still bitter about it.

650 announced as official attendance in Markets Field for Limerick V Galway United

[Comic Book Guy]

About 300 max at ramblers v wexford. Had to compete against the triple whammy of cork hurlers, poxy weather and the cork city v Liverpool reserves. The perfect storm of one s*** night on and off the pitch.

Big drop from the previous week vs Bray. Was bound to happen as Limerick can't buy a win and the novelty factor of a new stadium wears off.

Probably more to do with Limerick playing a big hurling game on the same day.

Markets Field is a very tidy ground, it's a credit to Limerick.

[Jofspring]

If there had been a few signings and hope of a win I reckon we would have got a decent crowd in. Sadly the loss to Bray, lack of changes to the starting 11 have culminated in that drop. You could nearly estimate a loss of between €7,000-€10,000 in a week on the gate.

[outspoken]

1,587 in The Showgrounds

Great attendance for a team near the bottom, great to see us bringing around 200 with us probably our biggest away following in quite a long time just a same we played utterly crap in front of that crowd

Around 120 from Longford.

Around 120 from Longford.

with the GAA match on in Mullingar that night it effected our away support imo. With the short distance we could have brought more!

Considering the GAA match being on and the minors in croke park on the Sunday and the awful weather 120 isn't a bad crowd to bring at all, we probably brought about 150 to Dundalk so they have been our 2 best away crowds this season

[D24Saint]

Around 800-1000 in United Park yesterday Id say.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

1,453 in Dalymount according to extratime

[outspoken]

No more than 500 or 600 in city calling last night, around 100 cork fans. Shocking.

[sulywaterfordfc]

560 at the Blues game apparently. Looked like there more then that in the main stand alone tbf.

[trevy]

I'd say they didn't count the Spanish students who were probably guests of the club and they added to the atmosphere in fairness on a very wet night.

[nigel-harps1954]

221 at UCD v Harps. Around 50 very disappointed Harps fans.

[Dunny]

2613 in Oriel last night.Lowest league att this year.

[PartySaint]

221 at UCD v Harps. Around 50 very disappointed Harps fans.

So about 25 Harps fans then?

Very surprised at the attendance up in Oriel, I know it's a Sunday afternoon and Dundalk only played at home on Wednesday but it was surely the biggest league game of the season so far. A win would have all but secured the league title again.

[El-Pietro]

We were shocked too though Sunday will always dent crowds (honestly any time other than Friday at 7:45 is a problem for City), and the weather was shocking to be fair, plus theyd just been knocked out of Europe so you can imagine that disappointment putting a few non regulars off.

[Dodge]

Europe really does throw the league games off a fair bit. It takes some fans a while to get back into the Friday routine. Happens all clubs too

[Louth4sam]

It rained solidly all day and this would have knocked a few hundred off, it being on a Sunday would have knocked a few hundred more. Thought we would have hit 3000 though so still a disappointing attendance.

[CityBoy]

Got a good laugh off a few Dundalk fans on Twitter saying Citys away support is useless and claiming they bring 500/600 everywhere they go. Not saying we've huge away support or anything but it wasn't that long ago when they were bringing 15 fans to Cork when Sean McCaffery was their manager

[GypsyBlackCat]

I'd say about 1400 give or take at Bohs v Derry.

[SeanDMRooney]

221 at UCD v Harps. Around 50 very disappointed Harps fans.

Soul Crushed was my emotion but to *******ise a quote "football is designed to break your heart"
