Attendances 2019

[gael353]

Would have said 550/600. Bout 130/150 Limerick fans. Counted 145 in main stand at kick off.

[outspoken]

Couldn't have been more than 100 in Wexford last night (although a few probably watched from the bar given the night that was in it) around 30 from Longford. Ferrycarrig is grim

[Finlay Harp]

2,228 in Finn Park. Rain leading up to it and the Liverpool match on Tv probably cost us a couple of hundred more.

[Jack B]

Would be surprised if that figure from Pats-Dundalk was correct, definitely seemed like there was at least 2000 there last night. The stand was pretty full which would nearly account for that in itself, that's without taking in the rest of the ground where granted there wasn't that many of us given the weather, but enough still for that to seem a low number.

1878 Pats v Dundalk.
Bout 300 up from Dundalk.

Dundalk usually take a good crowd to this game, is your estimation for behind the ground only, as looked like more DFC fans were the stand from the brief tv clip, near the away end.

Pats had around 4K for their first game. It's a pity that just half that total were there to see them beat Dundalk. but it may have been an indication that 2K + stayed away to avoid seeing them lose handsomely, given their recent displays. This might kickstart their season now. Good attendances in general though, still holding up.

I was actually fairly happy with the attendance on Friday, with our recent results, the rain and the Liverpool game I expected loads to stay away, the official number was 1,878 which is just over 100 more than the Harps game on a Monday night, anyone who was at both games will be able to see how laughable that is. Over 2,000 there hopefully the result brings a few more back.

Fair play. Wasn't intending to be condescending. Good to hear that Forrester might finally have found his groove.Such a talented player once he gets going.

There were quite a few empty seats kicking around in the stand though. A handful of people in the stand behind the goal, and a few dozen along the far touchline of the pitch.

I was in Dublin for the night and went along to the match. Booked a ticket online early in the week, but was starting to have second thoughts with the negativity on her from Pats fans. I feared it might turn out to be a poor game and crowd. My other option was the UCD-Waterford fixture, which was appealing as I've never been to the Belfield Bowl. Once the goals started flying in at Belfield and Dundalk were dominating at the start of the game, I was thinking maybe I'd made the wrong decision. But it turned out to be a great game of ball at Richmond Park for a neutral (there were a few overseas neutrals near me as well).

The one thing I will say is that it was my first visit to Richmond Park for years, and the ground always looks a lot bigger and better on TV than when you're in it (especially from the stand). If Pats grow as a club (which hopefully all LOI teams will do over the years) then you can see the ground having limitations quite quickly. I also thought there was little singing, despite it being a great game and Pats being in the lead for most of it. A great evening out nonetheless (weather aside).

I'm sure Pat's fans would like something done about the coal bunker behind the goals where the away fans are situated. I mean, it's fine in a way, but looks only marginally better than Dundalk's away end when viewing from the TV. Would a stand similar to the one behind the other goals fit in there, space wise?

In order for us to grow as a club we have to get out of Richmond. In a few years time we'll have a 10,000 seater Stadium in Tallaght and a redeveloped Dalymount to compete with for new fans.

If a mother or father is looking to bring their kids to a game on a Friday they will be mad to choose Richmond over those two.

Has it gone totally quiet on that front now?
