Whether its this season or the league in recent years in general its a back handed positive to call an attendance of 1500 poor especially with the eh mitigating factors given. There is merit though in considering it a poor attendance if clubs are trying to build attendances, certainly in the context of attendances so far this season. If some fans are satisfied with those numbers so be it. I dont see league attendances as a competition, a source of pride yes but it in the general interest of the league as a whole for crowds to be as high as possible. I think the smallest crowd in Oriel 2018 was a Tuesday night in February against Limerick at around 1800 and I wouldnt consider Dundalk crowds as exceptional in context of the league, whatever about relative to size of the population of Dundalk and enviorns. Poor or not its not as if a crowd of 1500 or so isnt possible for a league game at some point in Oriel, even Turners Cross.
