Attendances 2024

[culloty82]

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

Would imagine the Cork derbies two seasons ago reached 2k+ at times. Also, one hopes that UCD figure won't be surpassed for the remainder of the season.

272 at the Bowl

Surely thats missing a zero, LoI being the new cool and all!

They had more than that twice last season, without Cork in the division. They'll have broken 1.4k a few times with Cork derby games. They've certainly grown their support and the home games in Turners Cross were a disaster for them

[nigel-harps1954]

1,185 at Harps v Bray. Around about 20 Bray fans.

[2 Year Contract]

3,825 at Pats vs Sligo

Seemed a bit more than that but always hard to tell when you are sitting in a stand.

Pleasantly surprised at that for the day that's in it. Should be aiming for 1500 again on Friday

[D24Saint]

It’s very healthy that this is seen as low these days.

[yurt]

We've played just about 20% of league games. Average crowds will drop over the summer but for arguments sake we are on track for a league total of ~188k x 5 = ~940k.

If we could assume another ~50k for a cup final you'd have to think there's a decent chance of breaking the 1 million total for the season this year. Particularly if the teams in Europe can manage to play 10+ home games between them (rovers qualify for the group stages).

[Comic Book Guy]

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

I think there was one game v Cork City in 2008 or thereabouts that was 4,500, I remember one in the late 80s that was 5,000

There were 888,144 at all LOI games last season, including league, Cup, playoffs and presidents cup. We'll do well to break that this season. I don't think we'll hit the million but it would be a phenomenal milestone to achieve.

Other then the team and staff, I didn't see any Longford fans at the Cobh game!

I think Outspoken was at the game judgin by his post elsewhere on this forum!

[outspoken]

Other then the team and staff, I didn't see any Longford fans at the Cobh game!

There were 3 idiots there including myself

[ToberonaTornado]

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

Easter Monday, early afternoon k/o- that's a good attendance, was expecting it to be about 1500 tbh.
I remember maybe 15/20 Years ago we were playing in Europe and squeezed in a league game same time for start or maybe half an hour earlier(v Derry I think ??)and about 1000 to 1200 at the match in Oriel.

Adversity attracts

[CorribsideSteve]

I think there was one game v Cork City in 2008 or thereabouts that was 4,500, I remember one in the late 80s that was 5,000

Fascinating! Fair play. Hopefully good attendances continue now that the renovations are done.

Certainly don't remember many too much higher.

[LTFC]

Conn derby tonight in Sligo. Is this one that will attract a big crowd - Sligo had over 4k when they played Derry earlier in season, will they get that tonight?

P

Tomorrow nite but weather will play its part on and off the pitch. Orange warning in galway and yellow in Sligo. If it goes ahead the weather will be bad so prob keep the crowd down.

[Buckett]

There's a decent crowd travelling up from Galway. Historically, our away following has been quite poor so it's a novelty to see more than 1 bus going to away games!

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Would be surprised if we had 3k

[culloty82]

1,021 in Ballybofey, which is on a par with the Kerry game last month.

[Shearer]

568 announced on the Wexford vs Treaty stream.

[LTFC]

2232 Weavers.
683 seeing us getting hockeyed in Mounthawk.
612 in Carlisle.
4342 Dalymount
3060 Brandywell

[joey B]

5015 at Richmond Park

[Patrickccfc84]

3,619 at the cross. Brilliant considering the weather is brutal. And the fact that I'd say many, including me, decided to give it a miss.

[nigel-harps1954]

1,021 in Ballybofey, which is on a par with the Kerry game last month.

Shocked how good it was. You could see a trickle of people arriving through the first half. Incredible for 5pm on a Friday. Could have been double that with a regular kickoff time. There were 2 UCD fans below the gantry.

[LTFC]

5015 at Richmond Park

Be bouncing there now, 2 in 2 mins!

[ger121]

1,021 in Ballybofey, which is on a par with the Kerry game last month.

I wonder how many tickets were actually sold. Seen lots of people buying them to support the club.

[brendy_éire]

For the first time ever, I heard an attendance announcement at the Brandywell.
3,060.

I know there were still tickets going at 3 o'clock.
Make of that what you will.

[thebronze14]

I wonder how many tickets were actually sold. Seen lots of people buying them to support the club.

I would say a few dozen but that's a random guess. Was much appreciated. Think we would have had not far off 2k if on at normal time. This should focus the minds of people who have the power to change the situation and actually get al the new stadium over the line but no doubt we'll have to continue to jump through hoops that will lead nowhere

Over 30,000 tickets sold for tonight's game between Rep. of Ireland and England and it's also live on RTE2 TV.
This game is now on course to be the biggest live occasion for women’s International football on the island.

Well done to all involved! :)

Great to see Tolka rocking tonight.

2325 Oriel, 2537 RSC, 1763 Weavers, 6059 Tallaght

372 ucd, 596 Athlone

1506 Markets Field, so only Tolka and Cobh outstanding.

All attendances slipped tonight, ironically Dundalk by the least.

If there were 596 in Athlone then I'm a dead cert to be the next pope.

There were about 150 Harps fans and they almost outnumbered the home fans.

[sbgawa]

Pope Nigel the first.
Honoured we are

[Nesta99]

Nooo cause then he'd be infalliible, a foot.ie poster that is never wrong...;)

[ger121]

If Pat’s brought 500-600, as per away attendances thread, probably means a home crowd of 1700-1800. No doubt league position and maybe the general feeling around the club is impacting on attendances.

[ger121]

Nooo cause then he'd be infalliible, a foot.ie poster that is never wrong...;)

That is all of us surely.

[nigel-harps1954]

Nooo cause then he'd be infalliible, a foot.ie poster that is never wrong...;)

As opposed to any other pope?

[Eminence Grise]

Pope Nigel the first.

Not until there's a second. Till then, just plain old Pope Nigel. I'm sure there's a gag somewhere in this about angels and Harps.


Nooo cause then he'd be infalliible, a foot.ie poster that is never wrong...;)

I'm humble enough to admit that I was wrong once. It was that time I thought I'd made a mistake.
