Attendances 2023

[nr637]

It really isnt that bad you know

Lets be honest, for too many years we have been accepting these facilities.
The league has to be competitive in the football business'
And, it's not just the format that needs to change, its the basic infrastructure which for our league now is the facilities.
We have to be able to attract all walks of society and if the product is presented with proper facilities, such as covered seating/terracing, clean toilet facilities for men/women and reasonable catering, it can only attract more passing supporters!

I was being sarcastic quoting the infamous "Gabay" report, 'its not that bad you know' i dont disagree with your points at all

Weekend rundown:

Shelbourne v Bohemians - 4,450
Sligo Rovers v Cork City - 2,236
UCD v Drogheda United - 519

Athlone Town v Galway United - 1,257
Finn Harps v Cobh Ramblers - 792

Bray v Wexford - no figure
Longford Town v Kerry - no figure


Second home game in a row for Longford not to upload an attendance figure to FAI Connect.

[joey B]

174 at UCD/Cobh according to the FAI Connect APP ,that is sparse...

[nigel-harps1954]

Around about 350-400 at Kilbarrack v Harps with 100 of that feral children. About 50 travelling Harps fans.

[culloty82]

665 for Kerry v Ringmahon - looks like the attendances have stabilised now, so hopefully last night's win should see a boost for the Harps game.

Attendances have stabilised alright around 600-700. Considering the main stand takes 500 and the limitations of the rest of the ground, it's probably the right size of a crowd for the facilities currently available.

Truly awful :o

[legendz]

16 stand tickets are still available for the visit of Finn Harps to MH Park tomorrow.

[joey B]

Both stands sold out for Bohs v UCD tonight,heady days indeed…..

[nr637]

Both stands sold out for Bohs v UCD tonight,heady days indeed…..
So the Jodi Stand approximate capacity of 2700 is sold out and the away stand of 450 on the Connaught street side is also sold out.............not with UCD fans I presume! :confused:

[joey B]

The 2 seated stands are sold out,Des Kelly and Jodi....

[legendz]

Still 2 main stand tickets available for the visit of Finn Harps.

[culloty82]

TBF, they're just the ones with the restricted view, so they're always the last to sell.

[nigel-harps1954]

Still 2 main stand tickets available for the visit of Finn Harps.

There were a good few more than that empty, all the same. Must have been 600-700 there tonight.

[joey B]

662 at Kerry/Harps
812 at Athlone/Waterford
4142 at Bohs/UCD
3672 at Cork/Shels
1677 Drogheda/Sligo

[David BOHie]

Good attendance at Dalymount considering it was probably all Bohs there. Their previous game against UCD at Dalymount had only 4,017 so about a 3% increase. Maybe it's too small to note or maybe the base crowd is still getting bigger, despite mostly sellouts.

That brings Bohs' average attendance in the league to 4,264. Their highest attendance was 4,432 at home to Dundalk at the first home game of the season.

Presuming 4,432 is the capacity of Dalymount (it's a little less when we play Rovers and a little more when we don't so 4,432 is best guess) that represents an average attendance of 96.21% of total capacity. Is this the highest in the league?

It really hammers home the need for the new Dalymount

[thebronze14]

Great to see Kerry still having a decent support. Plenty of noise from them and a much better place to watch a match than expected. Really hope they kick on from here

Since losing terribly to Waterford, Kerry have gone on a run of six morally victories. Not reaping the rewards of the experience gained so far. Support has been patient and understanding. They need to kick on is right though. There is yet to be a night where MH Park is rocking.

[culloty82]

Frustrating that we keep losing by the odd goal, which at least is a slight improvement in the margins before the mid-season break, but the new players really have to hit the ground running.

[legendz]

No sign of improvement yet. Axworthy hasn't commanded the goal area in a way to suggest he can help the defence to cut out the concession of repetitive sloppy goals from set pieces.

Axworthy looks a very poor signing.

[outspoken]

Axworthy's first game a few weeks ago away in Longford, every single kick out in the warm up went over the wall of the pitch, no word of a lie about ten in a row. Once the game started he was actually alright but never seen that before in my life. Some of the young kids shouted down at the sub keeper who was having to race after the lose balls "how the hell is he starting ahead of you" which brought a good laugh from the sub keeper.

[wonder88]

4,322 at Dalymount for an eventful game. Good away Drogheda crowd who must have felt they were set for a draw after equalising for 2nd time with only 15 minutes left. Thankfully the rain held off for those of us in the Des Kelly end.

[nigel-harps1954]

1,026 I think was the figure in Finn Park v Galway. About 20 away fans.

There's still around 40 Main Stand tickets on sale for the visit of Cobh Ramblers to MH Park tomorrow evening. At least the match is on the usual time of 7:45. The June Bank Holiday Monday fixture was played in the afternoon when many were on the beaches of Kerry, when we actually did have summer weather!

[Dermobohs]

Can’t let the opportunity pass, special mention to the drogs at dalymount Friday, 2-1 down and a man down and still giving it socks, bravo!

[nigel-harps1954]

Shamrock Rovers lowest league crowd of the season by 600 people, and only the third time this season they've had less than 5,000 in the ground, from 13 home games.

[ger121]

Whatever people’s views are on Monday fixtures, Sunday fixtures are even worse for attendances.

[pineapple stu]

Except in Lansdowne Road it seems...

[wonder88]

Bohemians were charging an extra euro "handling charge" for e-tickets for the Des Kelly stand on Friday. Do many other LoI clubs do this? Galway don't, you pay 15e for ticket at ground and online.

[joey B]

I remember Pats fans I think giving out about Drogheda charging a 2 euro handling fee earlier in the season and not home fans..
They're all using Future Ticketing pretty much so dont know why some charge and others dont......

Yeah Drogheda did earlier in the season, not just per transaction, but per ticket. Rovers have done the same for some games and not others when I’ve been there in the last 2 seasons.

It was addressed on the LOI Central podcast months back as they’re sponsored by Future ticketing. They said that it’s entirely up to clubs if they want to add it and the clubs keep all of that €2 fee, none goes to Future ticketing. It’s essentially clubs just slyly shafting fans for more money which they don’t advertise on ticketing social media posts etc

[nigel-harps1954]

Bit sneaky of clubs to be at that sort of business. The only time that should be remotely acceptable is if clubs are posting tickets out to supporters.

[legendz]

In a previous life I used to rock up to Jackman Park, Thomond Park or Markets Field and get the ticket on matchday. I was less enthused by Treaty expecting all tickets to bought online, including a handling fee.
All remaining stand tickets for the visit of Cobh Ramblers to MH Park are on sale for €10. Slightly restricted views.

[DCSIL]

I got a restricted view ticket when i saw Kerry this season, nothing wrong with it, better than being sat behind a post.

Tickets available on gate for home fans.

[nigel-harps1954]

892 announced in Athlone.

I'm not entirely sure how they count attendances there given it's a cash desk table at the gate. Didn't seem to be any sort of counting going on there

[Jack B]

Home end for Pats vs Bohs on Friday sold out last night.

[nr637]

Home end for Pats vs Bohs on Friday sold out last night.

Home end?

Is that the Main stand that seats approx. 1,800 except for the 200 seats of Block A that's allocated for away fans?

It's all of the tickets available to Pats fans, main stand, patrons stand and camac, circa just under 4k tickets. Bohs Will no doubt sell out their allocation too

Sold I believe, so full house friday

[legendz]

613 in MH Park on Monday evening. A bit down on the usual 650ish but probably to be expected on a Bank Holiday Monday.

[trevy]

1029 at Wexford v Waterford as per ForzaForth's report.

[nr637]

It's all of the tickets available to Pats fans, main stand, patrons stand and camac, circa just under 4k tickets. Bohs Will no doubt sell out their allocation too

Is Bohs allocation 800 or 1100 away fans?
