Attendances 2024

[Abbeyman]

Did many Limerick fans travel to Wexford v Treaty 1,063 ?

50 to 100 Treaty aka Limerick fans travelling to Wexford in an all ireland quarter final with only 1,033 at the match sums up how far off the radar LOI is outside of Dublin in terms of attendances

A limerick v Wexford hurling quarter final would attract 50,000 although a Limerick v Wexford Gaelic football quarter final might only get 6 or 7000.

Whats this 'All Ireland Quarter Final ' you're on about ?

It's easy enough for GAA supporters, there's only four or five games in the Championship for most teams. All ten Premier teams have above 2k attendances, 40% of clubs over 4k, this is progress, a long way to go, but positive nonetheless.

Considering the attendances at this year's hurling quarter finals (30,000 between four counties including Cork and Dublin) I doubt very much if they'd be reaching 50,000.

Apples and oranges comparison.

Attendances are still better across the board than a few years prior, you'd have been lucky to get 200 people at Athlone and Wexford games.

[nigel-harps1954]

Galway v Shamrock Rovers - 3,335

Actually looked a lot more on TV but obviously missing what is under the gantry. Lot standing up the old clubhouse end of the ground, presumably crowded around the new bar though.

[Buckett]

It's getting to the point now that Terryland probably needs more spectator facilities, whether that's seating or terracing. The new bar is a great addition to the ground but it's location is a bit strange, right behind the goal. A small stand would have been more beneficial in that area.

Maybe Galway have found the key to attract fans, open a bar instead of a terraced or seated stand and they will come! :confused:

[gufct]

It was definitely jammed on Monday there was no room for another 1,000 supporters.

The bar is a huge addition and far more viable than a terrace or stand. Great view from it too.

Anyone know why the comer stand wasn’t built to extend the full length of the pitch? I always thought that was odd.

[Buckett]

Money was probably the reason. It took years to finish, the inside was just a shell for a long time.

[gufct]

Stand can be extended .

[pineapple stu]

About 500 at UCD v Stjarnan in the Youth League tonight I'd say

[nr637]

About 500 at UCD v Stjarnan in the Youth League tonight I'd say

Thats a great attendance by UCD's average which was recently posted as 338!

[ger121]

3 good crowds in recent weeks which is always good for the coffers.

[Shearer]

Must have been a who's who of managers looking to find players!

[pineapple stu]

Just the Euro effect. (Plus a who's who of the relatives of the players of course)

[2 Year Contract]

4,237 at Pats Waterford, about 250 Waterford fans which is a few hundred less than they brought up earlier in the year

[Buckett]

Galway Utd v Shelbourne attendance was 3,072. It's strange that it's a couple of hundred less than our game on Monday evening but it's still a good crowd.

[exiled_gufc_fan]

A bit of a hit from Culture night and Monday night had a lot of university students who have gone home for the weekend by Friday night

look at who you were playing in each game ??

[nigel-harps1954]

2,765 at Cork v Harps with about 25 Harps fans.

[wonder88]

I agree that the absence of 3rd level students could be a factor in the attendance at Terryland last night, (I wasn't there last night so that is a guess). But their was a good number of county gaa jerseys/tops in evidence on Monday from non league of Ireland areas. Are UCD missing out on this segment of their potential market by not playing their games on say Monday nights?

[Nesta99]

Just the Euro effect. (Plus a who's who of the relatives of the players of course)

Thats what I thought when seeing the crowd. Im sure there was a curious few to see youth European level too, the cameraman was definitely a UCD fan!

[WoodquayBoy]

Only a small part of it - Duff is a big attraction as well.
Culture Night would have taken numbers off the gate, and the student numbers were down as well compared to Monday. Shels brought about twice as many as Rovers so that helped the number tip over 3,000

From watching plenty of GAA club championship games on clubber and attending a good few club games in Louth, their hasn't been more than 2 or 300 at any of them.
Take the 6 Dundalk GAA clubs I doubt they had much more than a 1000 combined at their games over the space of a weekend (was at one last night myself and their wasn't 100 at it

[joey B]

2754 at Sligo/Dundalk

[oriel]

2,765 at Cork v Harps with about 25 Harps fans.


Careful now Nige, the CCFC crew will be all over all the 'city' not used, its as if they have invented the franchise for Ireland for that term, and only they can use, and Derry don't seem to use.

[WoodquayBoy]

Good man, the week ye had and that’s what you comment on. Pathetic.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

2754 at Sligo/Dundalk

Big crowd from Dundalk

That’s like saying how many attend club soccer games in Louth , Muirheavnor , Bellurgan , Carlingfird Celtic etc which is probably similar to Dundalk gaa clubs .
Louth playing would be a fairer comparison v Kildare , Meath etc to Dundalk - Drogheda attendances . Louth outside of mid Louth and the Peninsula/ border area is a soccer stronghold close to Dublin to be fair but in Limerick hurling and rugby would be top draws by a country mile . There was 82,000 at Limerick v Cork hurling semi final this year .

It's conveniently the same comparison the other way around though. Regularly see GAA fans laud it over LOI supporters saying they see more at club GAA games, when it's entirely incorrect.

The GAA club season is more closer to the LOI season than inter-county in terms of games played, regularity, and competition style.

[nr637]

Looking on V2, maybe 500 Bohs fans in Tallaght, possibly the smallest Bohs away attendance at this local Dublin derby for awhile. Monday night kick-off doesn't help, but I reckon its more frustration with the team and Reynolds!
:confused:

[nr637]

Big crowd from Dundalk

2-300 odd Dalk fans!

[nigel-harps1954]

6,119 in Tallaght tonight. Would have been another 2-3k on top of that if it were a Friday night you'd expect.

[Buckett]

1,618 in Drogheda

[nr637]

1,618 in Drogheda

20-30 travelling Galway fans, well done to them!

[Buckett]

Where did you get that number from?

I didn't see any empty spaces. Looked the 1000 to me.i wouldn't say we've ever not sold our allocation for Tallaght

[Shinkicker]

The camera showed large empty patches in the stand opposite the main camera view and even more behind the goal to the right. The stand behind the other goal seemed fairly full. Bohs support at one end of the stand under the camera the rest of it totally empty. Doesn't make for good viewing for a Dublín derby no matter what day of the week it was. Didn't look like the 6117 officially quoted

[nr637]

20-30 travelling Galway fans, well done to them!

Counted that approximate number from the LOITV coverage looking at the fans in the covered terrace on the Windmill Roadside, which is usually allocated to away fans at United Park.

I thought that was a fair estimate unless you or anyone else who was at the game can give any further information!

:)

[bohsmug]

A crowd of 6k+ in Tallaght would only take up 60% of the ground. The main stand and south stand have a combined capacity of in and around 5k (slightly more I think). That Attendance figure wouldn't have been far off what I'd guess, although I didn't put any thought in it last night.

[2 Year Contract]

Pats sold out the initial allocation of 1100 for Tallaght on Friday with more due to be released today. Shels are apparently going to half the usual allocation to 500 for Mondays game there, as they did when they played Bohs at home recently also

I couldn't travel yesterday but there was 35 names down for the bus. The commentator said he counted 60! Sounds about right, I know a few that travelled up from Dublin

:confused:

I’ve just seen a picture of the away support, you’re absolutely miles off once again. Half the stand was full, the stand holds around 2000. There was approx 1000 Bohs there. Simple stuff

[Buckett]

The East Stand in Tallaght is around 3,000!
