LOI Attendances 2016

[D24Saint]

Id say 400-500 would be reasonable guesstimate for the match last night in Wexford.

[nigel-harps1954]

1,015 in Dalymount for Bohs v Harps
2,578 in Deacy Park for Galway v Dundalk

[SPXcyan]

2.578?? jayziz I doubt anybody expected that turnout?!

[blue til i die]

167 at Waterford Utd v Athlone at the RSC :eek:

[outspoken]

Must have been rovers lowest attendance of the season in Tallaght tonight. About 50 town fans present.

[nigel-harps1954]

Hide your excitement. It's the long awaited update. It's not great.

[outspoken]

Our average attendance is disgraceful yet the club will do absolutely nothing about it

[ger121]

I'm always amazed at our average. Never seems like it over the course of the Season. Of course the Derby skew those figures but we only have Rovers at home twice every second season. Pat's hasn't drawn a big crowd in god knows how long. I'm sure we are including Members/Season Ticket holders in those numbers.

Rovers average figure for this season is 2038, it was 2061 for 2015 so no real change or put another way back down to pre Tallaght hardcore numbers

[Mr A]

Didn't see the big bump for Galway coming, even if a fair few were from Galway Cup. Maybe with the result some will come back as well.

[outspoken]

The fact we've had a bigger % fall than Waterford says it all about how things are being run here. Total shambles

[El-Pietro]

And the performance, and the atmosphere.

Was just using the figures above. Blame Nigel for any errors. :)

Your figures are skewed slightly. Read above.

[patrickccfc]

Still 30minutes till kick off at the cross, but looking to be a small enough crowd

[colonelwest]

That's some % increase year on year for Harps! Interesting to see ours down 24% as well, seems the novelty value of being back up at the top of the league has worn off for a fair few of the part timers/ bandwagon jumpers. Although if we get a decent crowd next week in Landsdowne that may skewer the figures in the other direction!

[nigel-harps1954]

2,575 in Turners Cross.

[outspoken]

2,575 in Turners Cross.

Cracking attendance for a Monday night

[patrickccfc]

Still 30minutes till kick off at the cross, but looking to be a small enough crowd

30 minutes obviously too early to estimate lol

[Philosophizer]

About 1500-1600 last night in Bray i'd estimate. Sizeable crew from Dundalk.

[pineapple stu]

Think I saw an official attendance of 1250 or so somewhere

[ForzaForth]

507 at Wexford Youths v St. Pats. 487 at Wexford Youths v Sligo.

[oriel]

Think I heard 1,253 announced last night. Hard to estimate away support as Dlk had fans behind the goal, some in the green house but majority in far side, maybe 500.

[littlebray]

Think I heard 1,253 announced last night.

You heard right - first official announcement of attendance in the Carlisle for yonks - maybe ever!

If D O'Connor is on the PCA steering committee, someone may have told him the first rule of being a subversive is to keep your nose clean and do what you're supposed to in every other respect ...

Sorry, that's a bit off topic, but the context!

[oriel]

Christ, I`m sadder than I thought, I forgot my sky tv pin the other day, but I can memorise an exact attendance at a football match !

Sky pin, that's a blast from the past.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

2,382 in The Showgrounds

[redarmyfaction]

About 120 / 150 from Shams, the sh1te mustn't have travelled, first fixture against them in ages without any nasty atmosphere about the place.

[red bellied]

More likely 100 from Shams or a few under that.

[redarmyfaction]

You had a better view of them than me, did you count them.

[nigel-harps1954]

Brutal derby crowd in Finn Park of 1,782. 400 of that Derry fans too.

[trevy]

208 at Waterford v Shelbourne.

[outspoken]

Around 400 in Wexford around 40 town fans

[gael353]

1255 @ limerick cabo

[thomas72]

1255 @ limerick cabo

Fantastic attendance that

[ger121]

Fantastic attendance that


1255 @ limerick cabo

That is a great attendance for a 2pm kick-off with that other distraction going on later.

[ForzaForth]

481 at Wexford v Longford.

[outspoken]

Attendance given as 451 at town V Pats. Defo not more than a couple of hundred at it.

[Dodge]

Yeah I'd have said it was about half that

[wonder88]

No figure announced at Pats v Galway last Friday, maybe in 800-900 range. I seen them at Limerick this season, but do many other LoI clubs have ballboys for their games. Not good for the image of the league to have a goalkeeper have to jump the wall to retrieve the ball.

Dundalk have ball girls. Does that count?

[redobit]

Tickets sent to Tallaght for Shamrock to distribute to their fans probably played apart too.

Some weeks we have them some weeks we don't. It really slows the entire thing down without them and as you said looks awful when players have to go jumping walls. Even with them it's often a waste of time as they aren't allowed to stand on the side of the pitch they have to stand behind the goals or along the sides, well that's how they do it in Longford anyway.

[Lim till i die]

Of course not

[seand]

Dundalk's average attendance up to over 5,000 now this season. Expect the next home game to be a bit less well attended, could be as low as 25,000 I fear.

One of those numbers in that figure doesn't look right to me. Kids, can you guess which one? Seriously though, it was a great crowd on the night and could have been bigger but I'm sure the weather put off some people from turning up on the night. I don't know what it is about the Av.. erm, I mean Dublin Arena, but I can never warm to the place. Something soulless about the venue.

[brendy_éire]

Derry do, would be a mess without them.
It's a useful ploy to get youngsters interested in the club, since the take the ballboys/girls from different clubs each week. I was buzzing when I was selected for it when I was about eight. Then the mach got called off due to rain, and I never got another chance. Dreams ruined.
It also it gives supporters a talking point, judging the skill of the individual children and whether in they're up to the job.

[sbgawa]

Rovers do as well, Academy kids normally and some of them make an effort to show a bit of skill while they are at it.
