I recall 29 being at a Mons game a few seasons ago. Have seen smaller crowds in Abbeycarton and Bishopstown as well

I would say that 65 will be beaten as well this season.

The smallest attendance for a league game in Bishopstown was a final league game against an already relegated Monaghan Utd, Douglas got a Hat trick for mons that day the last player to score a hat trick v City afaik, attendace 300.

attendance at terryland tonight mervue v waterford 65 inc about 25 from waterford

65. With all due respect to Mervue, that's very poor. How is it financially viably for clubs like Mervue to survive
in the Airtricity League with attendances being so low.

I don't think it is; they apparently lost E100k last year and were considering pulling out. Only a rumour, but it's a persistent one.

Irish Times had 1470 for Pat's v Fingal (very much at odds with here), 3500 for Rovers v UCD (thought a bit under 3000 myself) and 920 for Drogheda v Sligo.

extratime.ie put the Drogheda - Bray attendance at about 300.

I hope for Drogheda's sake they got this wrong by a factor of 3.

you had a fantastic support the other day and all very well behaved, however i think your numbers were greatly swelled by it being a semi holiday, the attraction of pubs being opened, a massive rugby game and one of the shortest distance to travel for an away game for you for the first time in years.

This is incorrect

We counted the people in main stand at 56 at one point, and at the same time there were 29 in the opposite stand. There were also 14 at least around the edges of the pitch standing, and 6 behind the goal by the entrance to the dressing rooms

wtf ? crowds are crap but 300 ? The away terrace had the usual amount plus the stand was half full and there was a good crowd watching from the club house . Roughly the same crowd as fri . Less away fans than fri but more drogs .

That stand holds 800....maybe it's half full? Surely Rovers didn't bring anywhere near 1,000...?

Certainly more than half full, maybe 3/4s so about 600 or so Fingal fans if that's true about the size of that stand. The rest would have been Rovers so

From rte.ie:

'UCD and Galway United played out a dull scoreless draw in front of just 320 spectators at the Belfield Bowl.'

Just to be a pedant, it was 340. Maybe ten from Galway?

That was in round 16; are you sure that's not what you saw? Although EFS has Akratitos' average that year as 573, with Egaleo next worst, so I've no doubt it was a low crowd.

Valga in the Estonian league in 2006 had an average crowd of 38 apparently.

Fingalstan

my guess for Fingal v Rovers would be more around the 1200 mark the stand was just over 3/4 full, few dozen in the little terrace beside it and i'd say between 450-600 rovers fans. It was about a 50-50 attendance tho so not bad for a bank holiday monday. Our home crowds are getting bigger every game so that can only be positive for the club.

Would have thought something similar myself.

The stand does hold 800

A game in the Latvian top division was played indoors a couple of years ago with a crowd of 10 I think

It is written on the Wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akratitos_F.C.

They also had an attendance of 26 vs Xanthi in December 2005.

What about the games that have to be played behind closed doors as they say, surely you cant get lower than that:)

About 1800 in the Showgies.

Not great a judging crowds at other grounds but would say the attendance at Monaghan vs Athlone on Good Friday was in the region of 300.

Close on two thirds of them being from Athlone

I'd say about 2,600 in Dalymount with maybe 700 Pat's (open to correction). Good for a tuesday with big a CL game on.

A fair estimate on both counts.

The one thing that should be clear now is there is no way for the league of Ireland to survive in its present 2 league format. With crowds like this clubs cannot survive. There is no place in Ireland for a full time professional set up, just not possible.There are teams playing in both the premier and first divisions who will either never win the league or be promoted. Look at how lopsided the premier division is.
we need to introduce a salary cap for each and every player every player paid the same also max squads to 20 ,make the lower division an amuture league. Introduce a 16 team premier league with 2 teams droping down and 2 coming up.
