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.

The stand itself holds around 2800 though so even with handfuls of empty spaces the figure given seems far too low. We don't count season ticket holders as part of the attendance though which may have something to do with that.

Re the question above about the shed: it's actually due to be knocked down soon, not sure on what the plan is after that though. It's ramshackled state is why they're so hesitant to let away fans underneath it despite cases such as the weather on Friday. Seems flawed if they eventually cave in and allow fans under it regardless but that's the official stance anyway.

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.

Shed end estimation Oriel.I just got in on time for k/o(traffic and parking was a bit brutal)

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?

As an aside on that - the shed at the away end was closed throughout the first half and the half-time interval, with Dundalk fans made to stand in the rain next to it. Then at the start of the second half stewards decided to let them go under the Shed for shelter - which was good but seemed a bit late to be honest. Strange to not let them in earlier, and they must have been soaked by then.

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.

Where would the club realistically go though ?

Richmond Park is a good plot of land to redevelop to help fund a move - but it's a very constricted site for access, which would reduce its value.

Does anyone still pull together the weekly averages and the previous years numbers across the divisions? I know Nigel used to do it but haven’t seen anything in a while?? Is the same info available online elsewhere?

Drenched.
No small irony lost what so ever with the visiting Dundalk crowd about how awful it feels to be out in the rain but sure we sang about it all and then pats eventually opened it up

There are many,many supporters in Dundalk who DONT want to see any visiting supporter endure the same,and despite what some here may think,Dundalk fans are constantly urging the directors of our club to upgrade facility's at OP.

Was wondering that myself earlier.

Dundalk's average so far this season is 3,100.

I always looked forward to seeing Nigel's overall summary, maybe he doesn't have the time, and to be fair he was doing it for 10 years ?

Extratime.ie do a weekly report. I think that's about the only other source. http://www.extratime.ie/news/15/

I gathered the attendances since 2012 I think.

Bit short on time but I'll pull something together this weekend if people want it. Thought appetite was gone for it to be honest.

Was a big fam of it myself. Happy to help you with the compiling if that helps, Nigel ?

I would love if you could Nigel and I promise to pay you with the most valuable currency around. The foot.ie "thanks". You, sir, can take that to the bank.
