Athlone Town vs Dundalk 502 official
442 at UCD v Cork City. Looked like a majority of away fans... and I'm not joking.
UCD have a couple of hundred loyal fans, fair play to them.Quote:

Broken record i know, but as far as i know alot of the tickets are not being scanned on the way in. Mine wasnt anyways. Season tickets arent being scanned either. So whatever total them machines are giving is wrong. And even by looking at it was way more than 502 at it. And to be fair when a team are 9 games without a point people arent going to show up. As Dundalk know from 2011 when ye played bray and attendance was 200+. Not a dig, just saying it happens to all clubs when yer losing.
It did look more than 500. We had 200-250 in a very small section of the stand. As I looked down the stand there seemed to be a decent number of people.Quote:

Right boys and girls. Let's cut the inter club fighting here. I enjoy it as much as the next man but it's drowning out the actual information and dragging the thread down. I don't have time to get rid of the garbage right now but may revisit tomorrow.
It wasn't that long ago your crowds weren't so great either when you were further down the table.Quote:

Over a thousand on a bank holiday monday was more than I expected. TQuote:

Anyway Bohs twice the crowd pullers than Cork for the respective away gams v UCD this season
Alan Cawley's views on attendances here
http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/irish...610286-cawley/
I think the Easter attendances were very impressive, and Cawley says that with a bit of imagination they could be better. I agree.
The League seems to be shaping up into a very interesting contest this year with 5 or 6 sides all playing well. There seems to be a great buzz down in Cork.
Thank God I got it read before you got round to cleaning up, great craic!!Quote:

Credit to the Wexford fans behind the double the attendance campaign, they said after the Longford game they wanted to double the shocking attendance of 198 and they've nearly done that in the games since to be fair. Fan iniative can go a long way.Quote:

Anything official from Tallaght or Hunky Dunky park on Monday?
I'd expect ours to be affected tonight due to awful weather.
3,711 at Turner's Cross. Not bad considering that the weather was awful in Cork tonight, but would have expected higher otherwise.
443 in Waterford
Thanks Outspoken. There seems to be a lot of volunteer effort off the pitch this year and it seems to be paying dividends. Credit to all those involved.Quote:

I'd say around 1000 in Bray last night with maybe 250 dundalk fans there. very good game as well with both keepers making some great saves.
And that's with Taylor being aired in every organ asking for fans to turn up. What a terrible advertisement for Limerick it turned out to be.Quote:

But thats a fight for a small bit down the road, at the moment its smply a case of terrible team attracts terrible crowds.
The board gambled on cutting the budget by the looks of things and it aint working out too well
I actually counted 456 about five minutes before kick off (i need to reevaluate my life!) it filled up a nice bit after but id be amazed if there was more than 700 there.Quote:

I cannot over emphasise how bad it is but the fact its quite a bit worse than Jackman should give you an idea
The plans are nowhere near as bad as Jackman. I admit the plans are pretty poor but anything, and I repeat anything, is better than Thomond Park. I have been a Limerick supporter since the late 70's and I will not be attending matches in Thomond Park again. It has nothing to offer from a football perspective. From day one the football crowd have been treated like Ryanair passengers, the pitch is poor,there's a complete lack of atmosphere, postponed games, no parking, the football on offer doesn't help either. The sooner we're out of there the better. The Markets Field is the spiritual home and The Markets Field is where we need to be, and fast. Another season in TP and we're as good as dead! Imagine what the player budget will be like next season if we have to stay in TP? It doesn't bear thinking about but I reckon it would be something close to the teams Noel O'Connor put out.
Woeful crowd in Longford last night, steward from gate told me 350, and about 50 of those were Galway so that's very poor from the locals. Then again, if your team lives in greater Dublin area and trains in Leixlip, I'd imagine it is hard to build a relationship with the town? Or is there more to it than that? Spotted Johnny Glynn there - is he being lined up to replace Cousins, or was he 'spying' for Shels, who Longford play next week?
