Thing that gets me with IL is that its referred to as local league as if there is no glamour or stars.
Down south we've moved away from that kind of view to an extent with the Premier Division.

Attendances down all round then?
Aertels report on Longf - Bray says there was a "meagre attendance".

Ye the attendance was low, i'd say about 550 max, but i'd say it was less. About 40 from bray went up, another poor turn out from us. It was a joke about the lights not being turned on, they where turned on just before half time after the 4th offical asked them about 4 times to be turned on, i know longford are cash strapped but that was a joke. Then only half them worked which doesnt help.

Longford appear to be on their knees at the moment and they're trying to pull off this: http://www.ltfc.ie/news/article/?id=90709518-af64-41bf-aaa6-8d0e0aa4d76a

Irish attendances this season seem to be obeying the old adage about barometers '' Quick Rise, Soon Fall!'' . Irish sports going public in Fickle Shock ;)

Don't see anything wrong to snear at about that to be honest BF. :confused:
A sensible way to generate additonal income for a club - the type of thing we should all be doing if we can.

The shocked-face smiley and use of the words "trying to pull this off" seemed to be negative in tone. Apologies if not.

It's very very ambitious for a club with no money and a gate of less than 1,000 every 2nd week, hence the 'shocked-face smiley'.
Do you not think?
Where's the capital coming from?

i presume that they hope te investment will be returned by rent/income from the facilities. in fairness flancare really needs something as it is a great example of the downfalls of building an 'out of town' stadium. it's a super stadium but unfortunately it's got nothing around it and prevents a few quick pints before the game due to it's location!

I'd say it's smart rather than ambitious, precisely for the reasons you've highlighted. They've got land but no fans - so makes sense to try to use the land to generate income. It'll give them a proper non-match day income, which will help make up for the lack of those fans.
I've no idea where the capital is coming from, and it's not my place to worry. If they don't have the money to build it, it won't get built. Simple as. Where did they get the money to make Flancare all-seater anyways (I'm assuming partly FAI, but the rest) ?

And Rovers seem to have a problem with the amount of people they can fit into their home stand.

Would have thought about a thousand at our game with 40 sligo but will go with frankfurts.

Ah in fairness to Shels they had around 100 fans down, maybe a little bit more.
I presume that 1,221 is the figure given in the local press, as today is the day the papers come out, so it's more than likely official.

Average for this year, last year, the year before and the year before.
934 was the official at UCD-Pat's, I think. Small enough crowd from Pat's considering they're top of the table.

(1146 for Rovers v Sligs was bang on, btw.Very much doubt that
I was told by a Harps director that there was 680 at the Harps Dundalk game.
A sizeable amount of Pats fans won't go to Belfield on principle.
The principle being they hate 0-0 games in a soulless kip. I don't mind UCD but even I hate going...

Will the move to the bowl change this given will still be playing UCD there? ;)

Would have put it at less than that. About 50 in the main stand and about the same in the stand behind the goal. So 100 in total. There was even less until the 20 or so Athlone supporters got there at half time due to the worst traffic I have ever seen.

Thurs would not be my choice either (sat night would) my point was the first div in general has very little away support compared to the most of the prem div, most of the dub sides for e.g would have on avg 400 maybe even more as away support for each home game.

No non Dublin club has brought anywhere near that to an away game in Richmond in years
