The 2017 LOI Attendance thread.

As always take the attendances thread with a massive pinch of salt, they are 90% of the time absolute ******.

Some clubs will overexaggerate, some clubs under report. All have their different reasons.

Theres really no incentive to be accurate with your crowd figures.

And even in cases where crowds are fairly accurate it tells you only slightly more than nothing about the clubs in question.

For years at least a third of harps crowds was made up of feral children. When Limerick were in hogan park you couldnt walk across the estate without a lad offering you two Limerick tickets (it was a rough estate) Shelbournes crowds have been a figment of someones imagination for years. And so on....

A bit more honesty and less of the "I only post up what I'm told" bull

Well sorry, but I didn't talk up home attendees. In fact, I did the opposite. I was disappointed by the home crowd, like I have been most weeks so far.

Being disappointed by the league champions taking in less fans than were expected to arrive is hardly child-like in pointing out either?

I didn't exaggerate any pre-match trouble. I witnessed it, as did a lot of other people on both the main street and later on Navenny street. At what point do you have to 'exaggerate' to before you get a little bit p!ssed off seeing a young lad with blood streaming down his face, broken glass on the main street, and a couple of lads arrested for clearly trying to get a rise out of anyone who would take them on? If you'd also cared to notice, I never called them Dundalk fans. I iterated right from the start that it was clear they were only there for that reason and not to support Dundalk FC.

I didn't invent any controversy around any goal either. I said there were suggestions of offside, no less from the man who took the photo. I said straight out I'd wait to see the video footage.

You asked me a question, I answered it, and then got accused of making things up as I went along, followed by talking about child-like posts irritating you? If you don't like them, don't reply and don't ask questions and you may stop being irritated so much.

will never happen in my lifetime. The life has being sucked out of it. the lads that were the spirit of it all will not come back at all now and I myself will not associate with the rest of them that stand there so doing my own thing from now on and move elsewhere. Great memories but all good things come to an end. I was a founding member and not many of my age go to matches regularly any more so I dont have anything in common over there any more.

212 at Wexford v Longford.

Looked like a great crowd in Dalyer tonight. I don't know the stadium especially well, only been there 6 or 8 times. Jodi looked 80-90% full. No idea what the City crowd was but it looked decent (from within it so very hard to tell)

Waterford getting bigger crowds than europe chasers Bray :think:

Huge congestion outside the Jodi last night, so a lot of the crowd came through the players gate uncounted. Bigger crowd than the last game v Pats 2;200 in the Jodii 400 in the shed..Good atmosphere.

210 counted at UCD last night by a fan there.

1,500 and odd at limerick v drogheda not bad considering its a bank holiday weekend and munster were playing aswell
