Attendances 2025

[nr637]

How bad will Cork City’s crowd be for a non league team at 12pm on a Saturday????

It won't be the smallest attendance in the 2nd round of fixtures!

[LTFC]

OVERALL PREMIER ATTENDANCE: 479,826 (628,157; 592,093; 486,365; 393,238; 316,515; 376,627; 292,204; 332,805; 297,334)
OVERALL FIRST ATTENDANCE: 99,108 (160,964; 186,369; 178,000; 79,115; 55,756; 53,461; 52,807; 54,474; 55,408)

OVERALL COMBINED ATTENDANCE: 578,934 (789,121; 778,462; 664,365; 472,353; 372,271; 430,088; 345,011; 387,279; 352,742)

Premier - about 150k more to surpass last season. With 11 full rounds of games that should be achievable, probably 650k by seasons end
First - about 61k to surpass last season. 13 full rounds plus playoffs so expect that should be up a bit on last year.
SHould be over 800,000 this season.

Poor Treaty home attendance for the visit of high flying Cobh as they are average about 1,100!

Any reasons why?
Sun splitting the rocks, most of Limerick flocks to Ballybunion and Kilkee.
Wolfe Tones playing in Thomond in the first of 3 concerts at the venue with The Script playing Saturday.

With the greatest of respect to Cobh and the season they're having, I don't think their form will draw the crowds in Limerick.

Some good attractions there to choose in Limerick!

[nr637]

Linfield v Shels 7,137 (with 1300 away fans).

[holidaysong]

The figure that stands out to me most there is Bray with their biggest average in well over a decade

I was going to post the same thing. I know they've had a great run so far this season, but is there anything else driving this?

[culloty82]

There had been some disquiet locally around the time of the Cabinteely merger, so perhaps issues have been ironed out now between the board and the supporters groups?

The new outdoor fan zone looks to have played a big part particularly in good weather

Good point. You'd wonder if that actually makes a difference, lads who want to go for a few drinks can now do that plus watch the game at the game time. Although, there was a bit of a Royal Rumble going on in it last Friday!

[ToberonaTornado]

Attendance 2038 Dundalk v Sligo cup tie
250 Sligo in the cheap seats :) with about 40 lording it in the stand for an extra fiv€r :D
Good game to watch for. all including neutrals I'd think but Dundalk once again not able to convert chances to goals which has become a bit concerning .
We've got a few in and also have a few coming back from injury but crossed fingers and everything else for next few months 🤞

Total handbags that all came from a few Dundalk lads who had clearly had too much in the sun. Sure they were fighting among themselves in Connolly after the game and there was also a video of them causing chaos in a Tesco. It's a shame that literally one of two bring down what is an absolutely amazing support. They broke a serious amount of seats down in Longford earlier in the season

Had to laugh at that clip of the Dundalk eejit running over and kicking the side of Bray’s main stand in anger at the sight of a few kids about 9 or 10 years of age giving him the finger :D

They need to keep away from the helium.

Friday night football is now becoming the warm up for the Friday night **** up for some!

That was brilliant alright, amazing how all these lads are able to get mini trampolines into the ground, all they do is jump up and down on the spot waving their arms about

[Shearer]

Two particularly poor attendances.

Dundalk v Wexford - 1,632
Finn Harps v Cobh Ramblers - 703
Athlone Town v Treaty United - 430
Kerry v UCD - 360

[nigel-harps1954]

Was always going to be a very poor attendance in Finn Park tonight. The whole county is on the Donegal GAA bandwagon and you would hardly have known Harps were playing tonight such is the wall to wall coverage locally for the All-Ireland final.

Ex-Liverpool and West Ham player Don Hutchison was in attendance to watch his son Max play for Harps though.

About 25 Cobh fans made the trip too, which was good to see.

Ah was more on about the other two games, even with all the above the Harps crowd isn't bad.

[da bishop]

430 at Athlone... dont think so .Half that maybe.

Didnt realise DH had 2 sons that played in LOI -obviously the 1st one played with Sligo Rovers recently?

Kerry’s attendances have dropped off a lot from a positive start, last night was lowest of the season and with the amount of back to back home games we have it will get lower (6 home games in 6 weeks, including 2 home cup games, a round of back to back home league fixtures and then a bank holiday game thrown in the mix too (played only 1 home game in June). That said it’s still a very poor attendance.

Looking on LoI tv, you would really question the 430 at Athlone last night. Can’t have been more than 150-200 in that stand (granted it holds over 2k but was basically empty).

Same boy.

[brendy_éire]

Brandywell sold out last night, so 5,300 minus whatever ST holders didn't turn up.

4,193 the official attendance

Ha, that'll do nicely for reporting purposes.

[nigel-harps1954]

Max never played for Sligo. He was previously at Waterford in LOI.

[nr637]

4,193 the official attendance

5,300 - 4,193 = 1,107!

So, Derry have approximately over 1,000 ST holders!

:confused:

Apologies you're right, Larne too.

[nr637]

I think the visit of Shamrock Rovers earlier in the season was Derry's biggest home attendance of 4,250.

Maybe if those Bohs fans causing trouble outside the Brandywell, may have created a new higher home attendance, if they went to the game rather than playing with fire works!

[nr637]

UEFA Women's Champions League

Athlone 4 v Cardiff City 0 1,916

Athlone Town mens highest recorded attendance is 1,926 during their first home game in 2024/25 season.


Anyone able to confirm this!

Last night was a total sell out as that was the cap set by UEFA

That's a very inpressive crowd. Are Athlone really good at women's football, or Cardiff just poor (or a combo of both)?

Any chance Athlone could swap their women's team in for the mens? :D

Mens side highest attendance this season was 848 vs Longford on 21st April.

2024 they only broke 1,000 once over the whole season, again against Longford Town on 12th July when 1,157 showed up.

1,926 is the highest recorded attendance I have for Athlone Town since 2013 against Waterford on September 27th.

Both are awful , Cardiff more so.

[Battery Rover]

Highest attendance for Athlone Town was 2046 vs Wexford Youths 25th March 2007. The fist game in the new ground

[nr637]

Shamrock Rovers v St Joseph’s 5,128
Great turnout considering the result was clear.

[2 Year Contract]

A crowd of over 7,000 expected at Tallaght for Pats vs Besiktas. West, East and North stands are all sold out and the South stand where the Besiktas fans will be, now has tickets on sale to home fans also due to the demand

Why are the away fans in the South stand, that's a logistical nightmare no ?

I don't think that's correct at all. The whole South Stand is on sale to home supporters.

By the look of things, away fans are in the car park end of the East Stand.

Yep you’re correct on the away end. I had seen somewhere earlier in the week that the south stand would be for away fans which is why it wasn’t on sale but looking at the block numbers only 301-303 were on sale in the east stand for home fans so it’s likely the away ones will be in 305-307 (304 used as segregation) of the east stand which is closer to the car park end as you say. Latest update is 7,500 of the 8,000 home tickets are sold now

[sbgawa]

Away fans will definitly be in the car park end of the east stand.
The Gardai have that area designated and it allows them to stear away fans directly to the gate without them walking around the stadium.
Its where the away fans are for Rovers matches and its set up with seperate toilets and food van etc

[holidaysong]

1,611 was the attendance announced at Dundalk vs Athlone.
