1,240 at Cobh v Bray

No way was there 1,240 last night, no way was there over 1,000, I'd be surprised if there was close to 500 if that!
I know we are in a holiday period, but someone is claiming Cobh's biggest league attendance for some years if that figure is confirmed officially.

I stand to be corrected if the information is true.

The club Twitter account tweeted it so that’s as official as your going to get I’d say…..

Longford v Bray was significantly much less than the first day v Cork. There was I reckon 6/7 Bray fans at it. It makes it much harder when there wasnt an announcement maybe 400 max!

2500 at Drogs v Dundalk last night ..... i'd guess? Dundalk had about 800 up.

Amazing that Drawda produced an attendance figure for the free in game v UCD but are shy every other time ��

I don't think that ground can cater for more than 2,200-2,300 or so these days with H+S, I would think 2k max last night, if 800 DFC, then 1,200 is a good turn out by home fans.

However not sure this was full, even seemed a good few rows empty in the small stand, and the home side (tv camera situated) didn't look full to capacity?

I�d say 550 in Athlone with 300 gufc fans.

I don't think you're going to get official attendances for the Brandywell.

FWIW, every game so far has been sold out. So that's 3,700 (minus non-ticketed attendees, if needed).

Add on 400 plus complimentary and sponsors.

Most people I have ever seen there. Seating area was basically full. Free admission. Great to see the number of kids at it.

Makes sense why the first attendance figure from Brandywell was given as 3,235 then if there's that many complimentary tickets uncounted. It's all I got this season that looked semi official.

Ok Oriel i'd go2300(capacity) so based on the fact that the attendance v UCD was 2024 and there was a helluvva lot more in attendance on Friday night. (BTW,i was also at the Drogs v UCD match)

Main stand holds just under 1,000 and looked about 80% full to me so while 1,240 looked off I would have put it around 1,100 myself

I keep records of crowds at our games for the match programme.

I'm not sure where you got the Bray v Galway estimate of 400 from but I have that down as 750. I could be totally wrong but I doubt it was below 500.

Athlone v Galway I have estimated at 600 - obviously difficult to tell when you're actually in the stand.

Bohs v Shels I think was a sell-out - so whatever Dalymount holds these days. 3k or so. Away section was packed and Jodi seemed pretty jammed too.

UCD v Shels - 1400 sounds about right as an estimate.

I suppose it had nothing to do with the free pints 'offer' for season ticket holders and a free bar in the club house after the match allegedly? :confused:

Out of interest do any clubs with bars still do a dual pricing system for members/non-members, or even have members only bars. If not was it done in the past?

The Glenmalure Suite in Tallaght swings between being for Members only some of the time and including STH sometimes...depending on expected crowds

Thanks JC, 400 estimate came from this thread.

Smallest crowd I’ve seen in Bray for a long time Maybe 400 things seem to be not right at the Carlisle .

2,754 at Cork City v Athlone.

Super crowd that to be fair, saw the photo online of the 1 or 2 Athlone fan(s) online (and good for them too for going), but this is just brilliant for a FD match.

Only saying to a mate earlier, if DFC were in FD v Athlone, no way would we get much more than 1.5k, unless it was end of season job and going for title.

Cork City will be a very welcome addition back to the PD.

Definitely.

I have to say I feel sorry for supporters of Athlone and Wexford, who have to put up with a lot of sheer drudgery following their clubs but still do. Not in great numbers, but that doesn't take anything away from those who do make the effort (for little reward). I also feel a bit siorry for Cobh fans, though they at least have a decent ground and a centenary year to look forwrad to, plus there seems to be more of them as well.

27/03/2022, 6:02 PM

Something like 761 at LTFC v Galway, bar the Bray game which was a Monday night, that's 600+ at both of our home matches so far. Encouraging, although lack of atmosphere is disappointing.

El-Pietro

28/03/2022, 6:39 PM

I'm gonna revise the Waterford crowd up. Maybe 700. Really impressive

I've been corrected by someone who would know with absolute certainty. 371 Waterford tickets scanned.
I forgot that they put in wheel chair sections at the back of two sections of the St. Anne's end which would reduce capacity from the 560 they used yo hold. Add in a barrier blocking the first couple of rows and that probably reduces capacity of each section to 400ish.
It looked completely overstuffed but maybe there were pockets of empty space in the middle. Maybe some Waterford fans with home tickets in addition to the 371.

mad theres a Munster Senior Cup and not a Leinster Senior Cup El Pietro?

El-Pietro

30/03/2022, 2:03 AM

Couldn't tell you much about Leinster but i love the Munster Senior Cup. It has a tonne of history, dating back to the 1870s, where it was won by q bunch of military teams including some FA Cup finalists/winners.
I think it was played continuously for close to a century unbroken before Covid. The only previous break being from the start of WW1 until just after independence.
It's also probably my favourite trophy in Irish football aesthetically.
City have the most wins with 18, but we don't win it consistently enough for me. We tend to play our kids once the league season starts. We had a very young team out last night.

D24Saint

I hope they bring back the Leinster Senior cup. I think it�s a handy competition to give the back up and U-19�s lads a game.

No, its Dundalk's to keep, we won it in 2019 so now the holders 3 seasons running, FAI currently checking out if this constitutes a treble to go with the actual double of 2018 and mini double of 2019 (League and LC), Derry keeping close tabs on the events.

2,053 at Dundalk v UCD, not sure I have ever seen a league game in Oriel Park with zero away fans, away terrace was empty, unless a few went to the stand.

Regardless of any away support, or the opposition this was still over 600 less than the lowest so far this season (2,676 v Finn Harps) so its a little disappointing, however the other two home games were over 3,500 but then again both had significant away support in Derry and Rovers, and with respect to other clubs, a better attraction for local fans.

In summary if just over 1,500 season tickets were sold (heard this was the figure), its still only 500 + deciding to go to the game, but on plus side, this could be the lowest crowd of the season, not guaranteed, but if that was just over 2k its not too bad I suppose.

Finlay Harp

01/04/2022, 11:22 PM

Probably about 1800 at the Harps match. Couple of hundred Rovers fans.

I heard it was 1492 at Waterford v Longford. Crowd down on first couple of games with poor results and style of football.

Great crowd there last night 1759 with little or no away fans. The curry and coffee is a huge hit

EatYerGreens

02/04/2022, 3:01 PM

Crowds starting to settle down a bit now, after the initial opening flurry ?

The usual start of season hope starting to hit reality for supporters of a few clubs, plus the drudgery of supporting across a whole season, is bound to see crowds tailing off at places. On the plus side though, the good weather and longer evenings are starting to creep through as well.

nigel-harps1954

02/04/2022, 4:12 PM

Probably about 1800 at the Harps match. Couple of hundred Rovers fans.

Only 1305, minus some comps. Seemed like more in the ground, but crowds certainly dying a bit. Three home games in a week won't help it. Doubt if it'll break 1,000 on Monday night, especially with our poor start to the season.

Extratime.com have Pats Drogheda down as a 3,000 estimate. I’d agree that’s pretty accurate, decent crowd considering the rain. Around 150 Drogs fans but in terms of consistent atmosphere they were the best visiting fans in Richmond this year so far (Sligo, Shamrock and UCD being the other home games up to now)

Serenading Clancy and the players he poached from Drogs? I'd say it could be a raucous and testy affair next Friday in Richmond.

For sure, even though its on RTE, there will be a very large crowd going from Dundalk.

PS honest question Pats fans, whatever happened to that court case application against SOD, has it just not made it to a hearing or been pulled ?

It provided off season entertainment for a while but has gone very quiet. I haven�t heard it mentioned since the season started. There is no doubt that he will get serious stick next week but things have moved on in the overall picture. We are just concentrating on the new side and management team. I�d imagine Mr K has been focusing his energy on the new film he is involved in and the Pakistan partnership. I�d say it will see its day in court eventually.

Gaa crowds are also down a lot in recent weeks. Saying that the Kerry v Mayo football league final on telly now now looks decent considering how the Gaa treats the competition. Be interesting if the cost of living increases will effect attendances in the coming weeks, surely it will for away fans(transport, accommodation etc).

Interesting you mention that, Louth GAA have been bemoaning the lack of crowds at our intercounty games and that they didnt get the surge that was evident elsewhere and during an excellent campaign. Its unprecedented for Louth to be able to say that they have won 7 games on the spin ending in silverware, promotion and will be in the All-Ireland proper now. It was also commented on that EVEN Drogheda are getting better average crowds (so Louth <1500) which was quite patronising imo. The combined average of Dundalk and Drogheda is about 5k over a similar period. Louth suffer from having sh!te poor facilities for home games, but Oriel and HITG Park are hardly top notch. It would be interesting to look at why a national trend has been bocht by Louth gah fans.

I doubt there are figures on travelling fans but Id say the gap is massive between Dundalk/Drogheda and Louth in terms of numbers or % of home average.

Really? I get the impression its just fizzled out, maybe time was a healer and GK thought better of proceeding, that said I never thought there was a case in the first place, sure has it effected Pats that much? Time for all to move I think.
