Attendances 2019

[Buller]

How many at the Rovers euro game last night?

5,165 I heard mentioned. Seemed like more. They had to open a section of the East stand to home fans as an overflow. Hoping next week is close to a sellout!

1387 at Waterford v Finn Harps.

No way! They managed to do that on the night? :p

[joey B]

1500 in Tallaght today, poor that.

1,523 thank you very much ;)

Yeah not a great crowd at all, expected a low one but not that low but when you're effectively playing low attendance bingo what do you expect really.

[patrickccfc]

Not surprised with that attendance given that there's another huge game on Thursday. But I think rovers should've done something like a fiver off for everyone who had a ticket stub from the Brann game or something along those lines just to encourage a few more to attend.

Yeah or a bit of fixture planning could have helped it but that's asking for too much I think. Think you need permission from the FAI to do deals like what you're suggesting though so that could be a reason for in not being done, or crowd increase wouldn't outweigh the loss from cut prices

[sbgawa]

Playing at 4pm Sunday in between Euro matches was always going to hurt the gate but I am surprised how much. 3 homes in 8 days is expensive so it was bound to happen just dissapointing how much it dropped. Priority was 3 points and get a fixture out of the way.

[pineapple stu]

Would have thought ye had 1500 season ticket holders tbh, but you're right that 4pm Sunday isn't ideal, and the weather was filthy out too.

Was surprised how low it was though; we reckoned barely 1200 at the time

[sbgawa]

I was surprised we had 5000 on Thursday expected 4k at most and didn t think today would be less then 2k. If there was a prediction league for attendances I'd be bottom :)

[Kingswood Rover]

Shane Lowry knocked a good few off the gate i reckon. Offal y hoops only ran a mini bus to the game

Surely no more than a handful of those who would otherwise have been at Tallaght Stadium were at Portrush instead ?

In fairness if you're thinking of taking the kids down after taking them on Thursday and knowing you're definitely going next Thursday and you look out the window and see that rain and wind knowing that Lowry is going to win the British open on TV you'd probably decide against it unless you're a hardcore fan and even then some might go either way. I won't judge people for not being there yesterday like I would some other games during the season it was just such a combination of factors a low crowd was to be expected.

[marinobohs]

2,451 at Dalymount. We don't have as many golf fans as Tallaght I guess :rolleyes: crowd lower than I would expect on a Friday night and very poor Pats crowd (compared to previous years). Weather was fine before kick off but deteriorated later in day (so don't believe that was a factor). Games under lights are just so much better, atmosphere wise, I could never see Sunday afternoon KOs being the norm again.

[Candystripe]

Slightly over 2,000 at Derry city v Sligo rvrs.

If it had been th ed pitch and putt finals it would have killed the attendance in DCCS golf is a bit nouveaux riche for the hipsters

But a damn good excuse for shams ;) and its STILL Dalymount. Always Dalymount.

[outspoken]

Must've been our lowest attendance of the season last night. Summer's day, everyone f*cks off and does something plus there were 2 GAH matches on in Pearse Park

[D24Saint]

Have seen nothing official but I'd say around 1200 is a decent guesstimate, playing on a Saturday and playing rubbish both factors. I can't see anything above 1500 for us for the rest of the campaign a unlikely cup run aside.

1463 according to extratime

Large away contingent

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

2,011 in The Showgrounds

[The Donie Forde]

2,214 at the Cross this afternoon, City v Shams.

[Candystripe]

Worst attendance of the season so far for Derry city v Waterford. 1,300 max.

[EatYerGreens]

Worst attendance of the season so far for Derry city v Waterford. 1,300 max.

I'd have put it a little bit higher myself : around the 1,500 mark.

It would help if the club announced attendances so we didn't have to play a guessing game every fortnight.

[Shearer]

Cork City put home and away attendances at the back of their programme if anyone is looking for any.
Not a city fan but I've a good few programmes.

[seand]

Dunno if we're tracking the cup here, but about 500 at Maynooth v Waterford, helped by letting in under-16s for free, hindered by a general lack of promotion! Good crwod up from Waterford.

[ToberonaTornado]

Dundalk v Harps 2217

[RathfarnhamHoop]

Looked like a good crowd up in Derry

[The Donie Forde]

Waterford v City 1,703.

[thebronze14]

Dundalk v Harps 2217
Counted 34 of us in away end...20/30 in the stand too

[ToberonaTornado]

Did you think there was 2217 there? I was thinking 1700 tbh.Dundalk may have included st holders in the figure.1800 maybe,at a stretch.

[Martinho II]

attendance was 1111 in town shels match tonight by far our biggest game of the season. pity about certain playersfor us on the pitch thought they were a disgrace tonight!

Seemed a bit on the high side alright but couldn't see whole ground

[trevy]

1283 at RSC last night. Not bad for a Monday night when it was on tv and up against Wolves v Manchester United.

[Nesta99]

Not bad at all when crowds were down. A relegation scare gets bums on seats!

We'll see about that for the entirety of next season!

[vinnie]

Ah you're not suggesting Dundalk will have a relegation scare next yeare now are you?

[Shearer]

Waterford...

You wish!!

[Shearer]

1,843 in Oriel

[Nesta99]

No matter what night and regardless of opposition it would be good to see the core support base break always 2000. Not so far off it but should be a minimum target.

[Steve Bruce]

On the irishleaguesupporters.com forum. Theirs a section that you can easily see every attendance. Is their somewhere easy to find them here?

[ToberonaTornado]

1824 Shams v Waterford

https://foot.ie/threads/240739-Attendances-2019?p=2004247&viewfull=1#post2004247 was the last update(v quick search could be a later one),perhaps an idea would be to pin updates to the top of the thread.:good:

[nigel-harps1954]

I've been meaning to update the attendance thread. Effort though..

Should do so before this weekends fixtures now that someone has bothered me and brought it up..

[ToberonaTornado]

UCD v Dundalk 788
Shams v Bohs 7021
Shels v Bray 1635

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Wow. Some crowd in Tallaght.

And a great turn out in Tolka

[oriel]

UCD v Dundalk 788
Shams v Bohs 7,021
Shels v Bray 1635

Outstanding crowd at TS, a stadium record I hear. I doubt not many in L1 in England will beat that tomorrow.

[trevy]

1211 at Waterford v Derry.

[seand]

7K+ at Tallaght is great.... when you consider the buffer zone between fans and first few rows blocked off this must be very close to capacity.
