Attendances 2024

[nigel-harps1954]

1,015 was the figure I got from Finn Park. Atrocious conditions for football. Amazing the figure was that high at all.

[2 Year Contract]

3146 in Limerick tonight
Even taking the away crowd out of consideration, that’s a remarkable crowd for a club that had an average crowd of 642 only last season. Fingers crossed the big crowds keep coming for them

It's frustrating going well in the league and just get that. I know it was horrible but you don't get wet in the shed! Bad nights under the last reign of terror and we had much more. When the weather's good the excuse from people will be they are making the most of the good weather and doing something else

Ah I think if it was good weather there would have been another 500 or 600 easily. Noticeable lack of families and kids last night compared to other games.

I was pleasantly surprised as I didn't think there'd be more than 500 there given the horrible conditions.

[CorribsideSteve]

Can't have been more than 100 at TX for Cobh UCD. They can't wait for April 1st to roll around to get back to St.Coleman's.

[nr637]

Athlone Town's Main Stand has somewhere between 2,000 or 2,500 seating capacity according to various sources. Looking at the crowd image on social media for Fridays game, I'm guessing around 700+ attendance.

It's a fierce hard stand to see down when you're in it, you've no idea how many are there but it looked well occupied and plenty of kids. Whatever about a healthy attendance there was absolutely zero atmosphere from the home end even after the comeback you'd expect to be hearing something but nada

[2 Year Contract]

791 at Athlone Longford

[nr637]

[QUOTE=2 Year Contract;2181859]791 at Athlone Longford[/QUOTE

Just wondering, if Athlone did develop behind either goal would anyone bother as the view from the Main Stand is a better option!

[nr637]

That's a bit better, I suppose for UCD it must have felt like a home game considering the atmosphere and the size of the attendance! :confused:

[joey B]

383 at Bray/Longford,I know it was a Monday night but that’s a shocking crowd….

[nr637]

Rep. of Ireland v Belguim 38,128

Rep. of Ireland v Switzerland 35,742

Great crowds when you think about it, especially for friendlies and our standing as an international team!

And you consider where we are with or without a manager!

[LTFC]

Friday, Premier should be bumper crowds, Rovers 9k plus, Shels 4k plus, 3k plus in Derry and Waterford and 2k in Drogheda, so average will be over the 4k for Friday.

In the first Cork and Treaty should be good crowds, and while we wont hit 30k at matches this weekend, it could be best of the season so far.

[nigel-harps1954]

It certainly won't be far off 30k.

Would love to see what crowds we'd be getting in a league with no capacity constraints. 35,000 this weekend ? 40,000 even?

Mad that Tallaght is selling out for a fixture so soon after its capacity was increased by c.25%. The redeveloped Dalymount also needs to be a lot bigger than proposed.

Im not convinced it does need to be. Derbies sell out the world over but it doesnt justify meeting caacity demands for that one fixture. Rovers are at 70% give or take of capacity, a litmus test of capacity need if mid table would be interestig but there can be some fall off in demand with multiple titles or a lack of a close title race that may off set things a bit. I dont think Bohs would double their average gate. Future capacity needs should be built in to the plans for sure, as how Tallaght could still increase capacity further with corner sections - it'd be great if the corners were even enclosed with seating/standing to be added later as needed....just to nitpick.

I went home for the cup final and when I was on the DART I spoke to several Bohs fans with kids. I asked do you and the kids go to any games, and they each answered "can't get tickets" even for the lesser games it's a struggle. I'm not saying this is a survey of any kind, but I do think the new Dalymount will be too small very quickly.

The thing a lot of people don't factor in is that we've essentially got a waiting list (and growing) of somewhere between 1,500-2,000 for memberships. At the minute we're pulling in around 4,000 home fans each game. All this is while we're languishing in mid-table. I think leaving room for slight on-field improvement (pushing for Europe), the fact the new ground is minimum 3 more years away, plus the boost you'd naturally get with a redeveloped ground, it's not overly unrealistic to think we can be there or thereabouts with filling out the home capacity when the new build is finally in place.

[placid casual]

Can I presume that the plans for Dalymount include an initial allocation size,with room to increase at a later date, similar to how Tallaght has developed?

Hard to see how there's going to be much scope to increase capacity with Dalymount

[fionnsci]

There have been so many re-designs and delays with Dalymount, I think the priority at this stage should be to just go ahead with the current 8k plan, even if it has downsides. If Bohs reach a point where they're selling out 8k for every game in a nice modern stadium then it will still be a dramatic improvement on the current situation.

[SPXcyan]

2,751 at the RSC tonight v Sligo.

[culloty82]

Confirmed as 10,094 at Tallaght!

[SkStu]

Fantastic attendance!

[culloty82]

Much better attendance of 760 in Mounthawk Park tonight - evidently the improvement in performances is being noted.

[culloty82]

3,115 Brandywell

2,236 United Park

452 Carlisle Grounds

407 Bishopsgate

[Shearer]

1,712 at the Markets Field.

[vinnie]

Fantastic attendance!

Only counted 4 empty seat in Bohs allocation but loads standing, I don't know exact allocation but I'd say at least 1200 Bohs away fans in Tallafornia, that's some away crowd for a LOI game, fair play

[EatYerGreens]

Confirmed as 10,094 at Tallaght!

What's the total capacity at Tallaght now?

[Knocklyonhoop]

Confirmed as 10,094 at Tallaght!

should be 10,095.

my daughters ticket wasn’t scanned going into suite!

[ger121]

Maybe Easter hit a couple of attendances last night?

760 was a good crowd for Kerry. If Kerry can start picking up a few wins, it'll be interesting to see if there'll be a boost in support for a club with little to cheer so far.

[sbgawa]

Oh yes sir.


i can boogee;)


-----

With Shels going well and the bohs and Pats support being pretty consistant the Dublin derbies are going to boost attendance hugely.
I wonder could we fill Tallaght again for Shels and Pats?
For the Presidents cup PAts were given 2500 tickets, the whole east stand (bohs only had 1000 tickets on Friday ) so it should be possible even if the Rovers fans dont come in the same numbers, as long as the club are happy to let that many away fans in

I think so and I wouldn't be against giving Pats or Shels the East Stand. They bring a bit of buzz.

Very disappointing display on and off the field by bohs. Not sure 10k will show up again if it's going to be that lopsided. They just capitulated. Fans leaving after going 2-0 fairly early in the second half. Grim stuff.

[Buckett]

2,458 at today's Louth derby. Is that a bit disappointing?

2,458 at today's Louth derby. Is that a bit disappointing?

Careful mentioning low attendances. It seems to trigger some people.

[pineapple stu]

I know it's a derby, but if 2.5k for a relegation six-pointer is disappointing, we've come a long way.

[culloty82]

Particularly for lunchtime on a Bank Holiday Monday, at that.

1,480 for Cobh on their return to St Colman's.

Good stuff from Cobh. Does anyone know their record league attendance? I can't remember many attendances better than that from them.

272 at the Bowl
