The 2017 LOI Attendance thread.

[pineapple stu]

There's every incentive. It's that bit easier to sell advertising if you attendances are 10% higher for example. And it's very much done (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1083630/The-truth-modern-day-attendances-How-clubs-count-missing-fans.html).

There's no VAT issues - season ticket holders are counted whether or not they turn up for example. Then, as I note, you've got the "complementaries"

And anyway, who's counting? If Rovers say their crowd was 4,524 against Bohs (or whatever it was), how do we know it wasn't actually 3,816? What's to stop them just adding on that extra 20% or so?

[Lim till i die]

Attendances and the tracking of attendances are in my top 25 pet peeves about the league.

God help me I'd say I've been in pretty much every ground a half dozen times at this stage, a good few a lot more.

No club in the league gives out accurate attendances. Most over count some under count, every one of them are absolute ******.

[Sidefx]

Yeah felt like more but I watched it back on eir later and there was a big gap between bohs fans and the normal humans in the west stand.

What a muppet :rolleyes:

[sbgawa]

Was wondering would I get away with that 😀😀

[nr637]

3,500,000 at Turners Cross tonight to see City defeated 1-0 by a dodgy penalty ref!
Just thought I'd help out with the 48.8%.......increases :rolleyes:

[El-Pietro]

it was actually 3,900 ish I think. Great crowd for a Monday, especially as we played at home Friday too.

[sullanefc]

3590 was the artendance. Announcer called 3950 in error I believe.

[ForzaForth]

251 at Wexford v Cobh.

[nr637]

251 at Wexford v Cobh.

Typical attendance number 251, I bet 250 is the reference figure and the (1) is the guy at the gate counting! :nerd:

[Comic Book Guy]

251 at Wexford v Cobh.
Thought around 200 myself but I won't argue with that. My first visit there in a good while.
I'd expect Wexford would get much better crowds if they were nearer to the town. Similar problem that Longford have I imagine, which when you think of our paltry crowds and our position close to the town and our league position it makes it all the more baffling.

[ToberonaTornado]

2083 Dundalk v Limerick.Lowest figure from us this year and maybe last couple of years.

[Nesta99]

August bank holiday, no league challange, not really being under pressure currently for EL slot, poor perfromance with a good crowd v Rovers last home game - i think all considered above 2000 is not so bad and with a cup tie up.

[ger121]

1718 at the home of Irish Football tonight.

[nigel-harps1954]

Harps v Galway 1,214

[Partizan]

About 250 at Stradbrook for Cabinteely v Waterford according to eyewitness.

Approx 150 Blues fans in attendance.

Around 300 at Shels v UCD

[bluemovie]

[outspoken]

No more than 150 at Cobh v town on Saturday

[nigel-harps1954]

No more than 150 at Cobh v town on Saturday

It's been given double that.

[outspoken]

It's been given double that.

Must be counting season tickets or something you could literally count on one hand the people sitting in the main stand and there was only a few scattered behind the dugout

[oriel]

2083 Dundalk v Limerick.Lowest figure from us this year and maybe last couple of years.

We had a few under 2k in the 3 in a row league winning seasons, I think at least 2 and all were Mon/Tues night games, one was v Galway I think. I'd have to check back but from memory these were around 1700-1800. A lot of crowds down last week due to holidays, at least 6 of us missed the Dlk v Limerick game due to hols.

[EatYerGreens]

How many were at the two League Cup semi-finals this week ?

[sbgawa]

1300 in Tallaght,poor crowd expected more tbh

[Martinho II]

I would be curious to what the attendance of first cobh Longford town match originally was as last Saturday the attendance was considerably down on the first game.

[dundalkfc10]

1300 in Tallaght,poor crowd expected more tbh

Id say about 800 max in galway, 100 if even Dundalk fans

[ToberonaTornado]

1017 was the official attendance Galway v Dundalk league cup
About 150 Dundalk supporters there.

[ToberonaTornado]

Was their one official attendance figure given for any fai match this weekend? :D:confused:

Dundalk v Derry i'd guess 2850.Good crowd down from Derry.

[Charlie Darwin]

1500 or so in Tallaght afaik

[sbgawa]

Felt like more than that ..2k maybe lot of Glanville there , lit of kids

[Charlie Darwin]

We're both wrong, it was actually 1,175: http://www.extratime.ie/articles/19579/fai-cup-report-shamrock-rovers-1---0-glenville/

[outspoken]

667 at Longford v Sligo

[sbgawa]

We're both wrong, it was actually 1,175: http://www.extratime.ie/articles/19579/fai-cup-report-shamrock-rovers-1---0-glenville/

I know I had a few pints but I must have been seeing double 😀

[PartySaint]

530 at Bray vs Cork, looked a bit more

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

530 at Bray vs Cork, looked a bit more

You're right. It was 531.

[pineapple stu]

About 150 at Cabo v UCD

[sbgawa]

Considering the good football UCD play as well as the run Cabo are on and the huge Schoolboy wing to Cabo that is a really disappointing crowd.
I would have gone myself but it clashed with the Rovers match...

[Lim till i die]

1234 (see what they did there) given for the crowd against shamrock.

[patrickccfc]

You're right. It was 531.

Haha yeah they forgot to count Stephen Bradley I'd say

[trevy]

1193 at Waterford v Shels in Fai Cup last Friday.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Think I heard 994 for Limerick /Bohs tonight? U-21 final and some problems between management/Blue Army to blame.

[Jofspring]

Blue Army didn't actually look like it was missing too many tonight. U21 game, poor performances recently and junior games on tonight were all a factor.

[JC_GUFC]

1404 at Galway v Rovers.
I thought it was more like 1800. Sometimes I wonder are tickets from the away support not being counted.
There were probably 250 Rovers fans down, so that means there were about 150 more home supporters than at the Bray game but the stand was much more packed.

[outspoken]

No attendance given for Longford V Athlone (No away fans) but Neale's fenn tweeted to say it was the biggest home crowd of the season. Not sure that's correct I thought the crowd was very poor and Defo not as many there as last week (626)

Not one Athlone fan? Wow.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Wonder how often that happens. Even Salthill used to have a couple right?

[Martinho II]

Not one Athlone fan? Wow.

the boycott continues with them and has surged massively. You should have seen some of the Athlone town fans tweets telling club to **** off and Roddy to go!Dont blame Athlone fans reaction it must be awful seeing your club run to the ground.
