Attendances 2025

[Dalymountrower]

Wow, wasn’t expecting a wound up response like this one off the back of a simple question :)’
Give me abreak, it was a question you knew the answer to, whether its a wind up question or not? mmm.
Capacity 4, 400, average based on what % of 400 away fans turn up.
That the adjusted figure brings it below the Pat's average , is presumably the reason for asking that the adjusted lower stat be put on the record.
Not that any of this petty nonsense matters.If LOI was not a mostly urban working class sport we would have 2/3 stadia in Dublin with 8k capacity each.
If we had 50% of what is invested annually in the failing ' sport" of greyhound racing, we also might actually be producing functioning mid level Intenational players.
Off topic, rant over.

Sweet mother of jaysus that’s some pretty sensational insecurity there from yourself but believe it or not, I did not know what the Bohs average attendance this year was when amending that fixture which is why I asked, and no my question was not related to the figure bringing it below Pats average which you have mentioned. Good to see Bohs crowds have held up this year including during the bad form at the start of the season. When Dalymount is redeveloped to the higher capacity I expect Bohs to challenge rovers average attendances, let alone Pats'. Hope everything is ok at home DR

[placid casual]

Must admit,when I saw the initial question raised,part of me did say to myself, cracking attempt at a wind up there grommet.
All in all it is a fair question to ask, as the landsdowne game was clearly an outlier.
There is a good product there for boez to build a strong LOI club who competes at league and europe level,but it surely hangs on ground development- as ageing Rovers fan ,I know this is never "over-the-line" untill your actually standing there watching your team run out in a shiny new structure.
For the sake of me actually getting to be able to watch a ***"in Rovers -boez match in dalymount in about 6 years I hope it gets done.

Be interesting to see what the away allocation will be. The demand for the Dublin clubs will still outweigh the supply if it’s just 10% of total capacity. I don’t know a huge amount about the access points and stand layouts though other than the concept sketches, so maybe access will be the deciding factor and for example it could be an entire stand behind a goal that has over 10% capacity. Either way, should be good visiting a ‘new’ LOI ground and I hope it gets done sooner rather than later, as with all club’s that have new stadium aspirations

[joey B]

1675 at Finn Park
1150 at Mounthawk Park

2 very healthy crowds …

[holidaysong]

1,961 in Oriel Park.

[nigel-harps1954]

Had a good laugh at that figure.

A sell out in Kerry too.

I know that full houses are very much the exception there, but with capacity that low they really do need to work on expanding it. At least to 1,500-2,000.

Is there somewhere they could put a low-cost stepped terrace in?

[EatYerGreens]

Had a good laugh at that figure.

Too high or too low?

[joey B]

Too high or too low?

Looked to be more there alright,biggest crowd since Ollie came back with Galway a couple of years ago…..

[Finlay Harp]

I’d say 2000 minimum

[thebronze14]

Don't know what you're talking about lads!😂 I was very surprised. People there I hadn't seen in years which was great. Thought the weather would put plenty off. Good atmosphere too despite the easy defeat

You’d wonder if Kerry are drawn at in the semi final would the desire from Kerry FC/openness from the GAA be there to move it to Austin Stack Park?

[listowelceltic]

If Kerry get a home draw I hope they keep it in Mounthawk Park. Big advantage to us playing there. Moving to a Gaa ground , unfamiliar pitch and you'd probably be outnumbered by away fans.
Plus if you got 6 or 7 thousand in the gate by time you cover ground rental and away team and fai cut you'd probably be out of pocket..
Still nice headache to have.

Good point, hadn’t thought about the gate being split anyways

[Buckett]

The split comes after costs are deducted

[Roones26]

Strategic plan really should be to replace the existing stand and to get a proper one all the way along the side with proper dressing. Rooms and dugouts

[listowelceltic]

Yea definitely bring the stand full length and bring capacity up to 2k at least. I'd guess the big problem with development though is with one entance and exit nothing will get past planning.

[nigel-harps1954]

I'd have said at least 2,500 there. Most packed I've seen the shed in a long time. Easily the biggest crowd there since Ollies time.

Definitely hamstrung there, but with a bit of smart planning and work with the council and Tralee Dynamos, they could potentially open another entrance above the top pitch. Having a pedstrian entrance along the greenway at the opposite end is another possibility.

Pardon my ignorance What have Tralee Dynamos got to do with it??

[nigel-harps1954]

The grounds are effectively connected.

[listowelceltic]

St Brendans Park is the first ground on the left as you drive in. Dynamos is on the right and the Kdl is behind that.

Never knew that Buckett. That would make things more doable. Still hope it's in Mounthawk Park if it's at home.

Is there a reason Kerry FC don't allow standing to the right of the stand opposite the TV?

Looks like it's part of the ground and a nice grassy slope for few extra patrons.

[EatYerGreens]

Does the away club not have assesors involved at the gates any more for cup games? Is that an out-dated thing now?

Grass slope wouldnt be permitted. Definitely scope for them to throw a few concrete steps onto that slope and add a couple hundred to capacity.

[EatYerGreens]

If anywhere has companies/lads who could russle up a small concrete terrace at a reasonable price, it's Kerry.

Behind the goals town end Oriel is grass and it's allowed though
It's allowed in GAA ground too so surely they can get a certain amount on it

Quick call to Healy-Rae Plant Hire should sort things out! :embarrassed:

They'd probably bill it to the Oireachtas as well.

Back in the day we would have lads outside with clickers counting the people going in at Turnstiles as it was a normal thing to underdeclare the attendance and thus have less to share with the oposition0
I think with cashless ticketing for the most part these days it has become less needed.........also i think the admins are more honest these days in a strictly relative way.

Bit like stealing each others balls in the warm ups used to be a thing , i often find myself tut tuting watching our players pinging errant oposition balls back into the other half instead of quietly passing it to the kit man to slip into our ball bags.....

[Buckett]

our ball bags.....

That's the same way I'd describe your squad too!!

UEFA Women's Europa Cup qualifying round

Athlone Town 0-3 Glasgow City (Agg 0-6) 1,400

Athlone Women's team attracted some great attendances to the Athlone stadium during their European adventure.

[joey B]

512 at Harps/Wexford

[culloty82]

154 at Athlone vs Kerry - even allowing for a Monday night fixture, that must be one of the lowest figures recorded since the Salthill & Mervue era?

[MoydowMonty]

Gotta be. And the monday thing is no excuse cuz Harps had over 500 at their match and Wexford have a longer trip there than Kerry did to Athlone. They're having a rotten year

[nigel-harps1954]

Athlone had a heap of 100 and 120 attendances given for 2022 season without any official figures.

Far from the glory days of 20 odd years ago

[Roones26]

I was going to say I don't know how the whole Athlone thing is sustainable, given figures like that. I suppose that the income from that game was essentially zero, considering the season tickets and kids, but it seems the average isn't a million miles away from the median of 754 in the First Division.

I dont think i appreciated how big the gap is now between the bottom of the PD and the middle of the FD

Ashley Cahill used to post here years ago. I know him well as went to college with him in Sligo IT in mid 90s. He was one that was controversially banished from the club. I dont see him around any more as he goes to GAA matches instead but a huge loss to the loi as he was a great guy!

Was there a purge of supporters? Marty, that opposed the direction the club was taking back in the day? I seem to remember a supporters boycott about 15 years ago and it had been all downhill ever since.

There was talk of solicitors letters being banded about at the time. There were boycotts held outside the ground and the club reacted by putting something up on the fence to obscure their view, that's how bitter the whole thing got.

I'd meet lads who were die hard Athlone fans on Ireland trips and they don't view it as their club anymore, id actually go as far as to say they hate it

[nr637]

Will it be a sell-out in Tallaght tonight!

[2 Year Contract]

Will it be a sell-out in Tallaght tonight!
There was around 1,000 left yesterday evening so I’d say the hype might see it go close with sales today alright

[Roones26]

Wonder how many seat kills will keep capacity down

[Calcio Jack]

Match is sold out - approx 10,000 so only around 200 seat ‘kills’

Yeah that sounds right with the timespan Redarmy and yeah there was a purge of supporters. Wow the time has flown by so quickly! Ashley as far as I remember was photographer at matches there.

Seems to be plenty of space watching on TV.
