Attendances 2019

[patrickccfc]

Not surprised with that attendance given that there's another huge game on Thursday. But I think rovers should've done something like a fiver off for everyone who had a ticket stub from the Brann game or something along those lines just to encourage a few more to attend.

Yeah or a bit of fixture planning could have helped it but that's asking for too much I think. Think you need permission from the FAI to do deals like what you're suggesting though so that could be a reason for in not being done, or crowd increase wouldn't outweigh the loss from cut prices

Playing at 4pm Sunday in between Euro matches was always going to hurt the gate but I am surprised how much. 3 homes in 8 days is expensive so it was bound to happen just dissapointing how much it dropped. Priority was 3 points and get a fixture out of the way.

Would have thought ye had 1500 season ticket holders tbh, but you're right that 4pm Sunday isn't ideal, and the weather was filthy out too.

Was surprised how low it was though; we reckoned barely 1200 at the time

I was surprised we had 5000 on Thursday expected 4k at most and didn t think today would be less then 2k. If there was a prediction league for attendances I'd be bottom

Shane Lowry knocked a good few off the gate i reckon. Offal y hoops only ran a mini bus to the game

Surely no more than a handful of those who would otherwise have been at Tallaght Stadium were at Portrush instead ?

In fairness if you're thinking of taking the kids down after taking them on Thursday and knowing you're definitely going next Thursday and you look out the window and see that rain and wind knowing that Lowry is going to win the British open on TV you'd probably decide against it unless you're a hardcore fan and even then some might go either way. I won't judge people for not being there yesterday like I would some other games during the season it was just such a combination of factors a low crowd was to be expected.

2,451 at Dalymount. We don't have as many golf fans as Tallaght I guess crowd lower than I would expect on a Friday night and very poor Pats crowd (compared to previous years). Weather was fine before kick off but deteriorated later in day (so don't believe that was a factor). Games under lights are just so much better, atmosphere wise, I could never see Sunday afternoon KOs being the norm again.

Slightly over 2,000 at Derry city v Sligo rvrs.

If it had been th ed pitch and putt finals it would have killed the attendance in DCCS golf is a bit nouveaux riche for the hipsters

But a damn good excuse for shams and its STILL Dalymount. Always Dalymount.

[outspoken]

Must've been our lowest attendance of the season last night. Summer's day, everyone f*cks off and does something plus there were 2 GAH matches on in Pearse Park

[D24Saint]

Have seen nothing official but I'd say around 1200 is a decent guesstimate, playing on a Saturday and playing rubbish both factors. I can't see anything above 1500 for us for the rest of the campaign a unlikely cup run aside.
