Fantastic attendances in Richmond and the RSC. Great to see.

Excellent crowd there. Good Harps crowd down too.


St Pat's v Cork - 3,497
Waterford v Shamrock Rovers - 4,152

Amazing crowds at Richmond and the RSC! Well done to all involved. Even taking into account the novelty of first night back in a new season.

Estimates of 3,500 and 3,000 for Derry and Dundalk respectively according to Twitter.

Thought is was very close to 3k if not over. Nod to Finn Harps crowd. Be rare we open the Des Kelly for most fixtures outside of Dublin Derbies but they travelled in numbers.

The Brandywell was close to a sell out tonight. Not a lot of empty seats on show, and a lot of people standing in various places. I don;t know what the ground holds, but I'd say the crowd was definitely in the 3,500 ball park. With the exception of last year's League Cup Final, I haven't seen a crowd like it there for a while. Devine and the club have got a good buzz going about the place.

Dundalk 3000+
Waterford same
Pats same
Derry same
Bohs same

Wow

Decent Sligo crowd in Oriel, def was 150/200

So we are looking at 17,000+ for the opening night of the season - that's great in itself, but also the spread of attendances is great, looks like Bohs 2,900+ is actually the lowest! 🙌👏⚽

Just under 3500 in Richmond it’s the best crowd in years , surpassing any of out league winning crowds.

17,000 with the two clubs with last year's highest average attendances both playing away is super stuff.

Last year's first weekend attendances were either 15400 or 14400 (Dundalk figure was disputed)
2017 was just over 14900

So 17000 is a big jump in the right direction

I enjoyed Dalymount last night. Proper old school ground. Two sets of supporters giving their all.

[EatYerGreens]

Should be another good set of attendances next weekend too hopefully :

- Rovers' first game of the season, and their first with the new stand open. Plus they're playing the league leaders
- Cork at home for first time this season.
- Sligo should hopefully draw a decent crowd after their away draw at Dundalk.
- Harps usually get decent crowds to their first game in the PD.
- I'm ignoring UCD.

Encouraging stuff
