Some of those first division numbers are outstanding.

Thanks as always for taking the time with this Nigel, its great work and enjoy seeing the figures / trends for all clubs.

Kerry's one looks like a scene from a cop show about a dodgy character !

Kerry - 1,255 (No previous)

[JC_GUFC]

Weekends attendances:

Athlone v Galway - 1,138



When was the last time Athlone got over 1k for a men's game? I noticed the Women's President's Cup attendance was higher than this game!

[nigel-harps1954]

Sligo Twitter account tweeted 3,651

[Dermobohs]

Bohs away allocation for Derry on Monday gone.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

I heard them call out 3,6 also at the game

[EatYerGreens]

Bohs away allocation for Derry on Monday gone.

How many is that ? Impressive for a Monday evening game.

[Jamesie]

350....every bohs allocation this year will sell out it appears

[EatYerGreens]

350....every bohs allocation this year will sell out it appears

Very good. I can't imagine there'll be many bigger away crowds travelling all the way up to Derry (and especially not on a school night).

That's impressive now, considering most people are back at work on the Tuesday.

And failed to hold back tickets for away fans again.

A link was shared for away supporters yesterday.

Aware of that, but it disappeared completely this morning. The future ticketing site said 'no event available', and all of a sudden the game is sold out with away supporters left having no tickets now. League rules is that 10% of capacity is saved for away supporters, and I'd highly doubt if 140 Harps fans bought tickets for this yesterday since they put out the link.

Tickets have been available since 11am on Monday morning. The games have sold out fast so far.

They can't sell out an away area for home fans.

[outspoken]

They can't sell out an away area for home fans.

Wow that's poor if it is the case, hopefully Kerry look after any away fans who contact them.

[Jamesie]

If people haven't copped it by now, get in early for Kerry games because they sell out.

[nigel-harps1954]

If people haven't copped it by now, get in early for Kerry games because they sell out.

I'm not sure if you read any of the above, but as per league rules, 10% of the capacity has to be given to away fans. It's not up to away fans to get in early to buy tickets that are being given to home fans.

[legendz]

If people haven't copped it by now, get in early for Kerry games because they sell out.
Tickets were on sale all day yesterday. There was an away section of tickets available as well. Away clubs are probably best advised to make early contact.

Do you think 140 Harps fans bought tickets?

Or, do you think Kerry sold the 10% away allocation to home fans before some away fans could buy?

[Dermobohs]

You can’t sell the away allocation . It’s away only.

[outspoken]

At the end of the day, Harps aren't going to bring much of a crowd, I'm sure any fans traveling will be looked after but this doesn't appear to be the first time there's been complaints of away tickets not being held back, if only we had a governing body to inform clubs of such things :rolleyes:

[ToberonaTornado]

2457 attendance at OP
About 100 from Sligo

[Martinho II]

Just back from Treaty game 15 longford town fans attended it.

[pineapple stu]

968 official at UCD v Shels

Suspect that's just the paying attendance as before cos it looked more like 1100, but it's official so obviously in it goes

[Jack B]

3489 in Richmond I believe was announced.

[culloty82]

1119 at Mounthawk Park.

[nigel-harps1954]

About 40 Harps fans down. Have to give Kerry credit, but Mounthawk is dreadful.

I was in the Main Stand and it is fine. Fair play to Harps supporters for bringing some atmosphere. Mounthawk again is a district league ground thrusted into the League of Ireland. It is what it is.

[Green&whitearmy]

Around 1000 max in bray, maybe 30 or so from athlone. My 1st hime game for awhile and the place was like a graveyard, dull, quiet, lifeless. I'm not sure what the cabinteely owners are doing but it's not working, didn't work for them in stradbrook and it's not working in bray, shocking.

[2 Year Contract]

3,689 is what was announced. That’s what FAI Connect and extratime have too

Market Fields in Limerick absolutely soulless tonight as well bar a bit of noise when they scored the eventual winner. Really poor crowd, you'd wonder where it's going down there.

On a side note, can a game really be described as "sold out" if the attendance is almost 200 less than the first home match of the season? Still an excellent gate given recent results, and if it can stabilise around this level, it would be brilliant, but just seems curious.

Season ticket holders away for Easter I suppose. Sellout - yes. Capacity crowd - no.

[culloty82]

In any case, the Galway game should be higher, given both their record so far, and the distance being more travel-friendly for an away than either Athlone or Harps.

[Shearer]

Just shy of 700 at Treaty vs Longford

[legendz]

In any case, the Galway game should be higher, given both their record so far, and the distance being more travel-friendly for an away than either Athlone or Harps. Only masochists will be looking forward to the visit of Galway. As it isn't an away trip, they better just park the bus and batten down the hatches.

Cobh v Waterford - N/A

With over 350+ up from Waterford and the stand quiet full, I'd estimate 1,200+ at Cobh.

[Shearer]

"Over 1600" at the Cobh game.

https://twitter.com/CobhRamblersFC/status/1645113786196525057?t=320ox3E9n8LQIX2uSjQcWA&s=19

[culloty82]

Would certainly believe that, Cobh atrendances have been excellent to date, and Waterford fans similarly have travelled in numbers all season.

[nr637]

Decent crowd at TC with about 60/70 Dundalk travelling fans.
