No offence to Limerick obviously, but it's a sad indictment of the league that one of the biggest crowds at any ground this season is for an English First Division side's reserves and youths.
That is the mentality we are up against folks. Not to mention the so called soccer fans who prefer to go to a GAA game or a rugby game if it is " a bigger event"!:rolleyes:

Yeah, it can be a little sad watching large unfamiliar crowds gather for friendlies against English or Scottish teams...but I appreciate their role as valuable fundraisers. Was there not a game a few years ago involving the Dream Team, or Keith Duffy All Stars that sold out Tolka Park? Now that was genuinely embarrassing!
Spot on Eoingull!
Being a genuine EL supporter means at least going to the majority of your team's home games. That involves some form of " commitment" which of course is complete bad language in the Ireland of the 21st Century. Barstoolers only need to go and watch a game a year when "their" team comes over with it's Under 14's to play a friendly in Dublin or Sligo or Limerick or wherever.
The Dream Team were on TV every week so that was an easy sell.
Fair play to Shels for renting out Tolka Park for the event, but really it's an embarrassing shocking indictment of this country as a whole. With foreign immigrants now making up 10% of our population perhaps that is where EL clubs should be trying to attract fresh support from.

Galway usually bring a decent crowd to CHP, but not on Friday - holidays I guess. Good few Mons regualrs absent through holidays too.

between 1600-1800 at the game.
Great away suppotr, best of the season i'd reckon. easily 500/600 Pats fans turned up. Great to see and fair play.

Have Bray gone back to Sunday afternoon for KO:confused:

I think they rearranged 5 or 6 matches earlier in the season to be all played on sunday, and this was one of them. Cant remember the reasons for them all but I know one were clashing with friendlies against english opposition etc...
Reports on crowd at Harps Athlone range from 500 to 700. I'd guess it's more likely to be towards the lower figure.

Yesterday was the last of our Sunday games. Fixtures were changed to Sunday as we had mid week fixtures in the same week.

that didnt include the kids that got in for free though PD?
was told
930 paying supporters
200 season ticket holders

Maybe 600 at the Athlone vs Rovers game last night but open to correction by any of the Rovers lads that were there
well PD was offical, I was just wondering if that was including the "kids go free" headcount too ? If not my figure would be more accurate

Shels v Sligo was about 1200 Id sayI'd agree with that. Shocking attendance for a team in your position. About 150-200 from Sligo.

U12s go free to all Galway United home games. They are not required to buy tickets nor are issued with them.
The official attendance figure stated is correct. However, the amount of U12s in the ground could be anything from 100-300.

The official attendance figure stated is correct. However, the amount of U12s in the ground could be anything from 100-300.
Surely they should be counted among the attendance since they are at the game even though they are free. Maybe you should issue them with some sort of ticket to give an indication of the numbers getting in free. Might be good for marketing the game in future.
ago so 1,143 is the official figure full stop.We had to tighten up on checking attendances as the fire officer could make a visit to check us out during the season and our safe capacity is only 3,000 due to one side of the ground being closed for development works which start in september.

I would say there was about 700-900 at this. I admit though that I didn't do a count or anything but it was one of our better crowds of the season anyway.
I expect the Premier average to rise gradually since the demise of Dublin City.

Poor crowd at the Showgrounds last night
Dont want to haxard a guess because it is usually way off....maybe someothers could guess but lets just say Friday night football isnt working.

The stand had no less amount of people in it than usual. The shed side was packed though. It had to be more than 400.
