3,674 just announced, great attendance for a cold enough bank-holiday and a 5pm kick-off! :rolleyes:
A great watch from a Baltic 25 degrees I must say, LOItv is a God send at times.
3,674 is a decent crowd for a 5pm kick-off on the back of that 4-0 hammering by St. Pats on Friday. Will be interesting to see the attendances at the other Bank-Holiday fixtures tonight! :rolleyes:
I'd say it was double that from Dundalk away. About 120. Clearly more than Drogheda brought
4012 in Tallaght last night which, we just cant seem to get Mondays working by comparison with Friday at all.
That being said 4000 would have been a huge crowd a couple of years ago
Having read elsewhere today about PD attendances from earlier in the season being revised on FAI Connect, decided to have a look at Kerry's stats:
Cobh now 1,214
Treaty stated as 1,230
Athlone now 1,196
Harps nudged slightly to 1,135
Overall average would then be roughly 1,188, but all in all significantly less variance over the four matches than had been previously suggested.
Crowd estimates from LOITV viewing on 10/04/2023
Shels v Sligo, looked well over 2500+. The attendance was split on both sides with the Main Stand & Riverside Stand well populated.
Derry v Bohs looked over 3,000+. Main Stand was more or less full 950+, while opposite side had over 2000 including 300+ Bohs fans.
Drogheda v St. Pats looked over 1500+, with an estimated 5/600 visiting fans and close to 1,000 home fans.
LOI Connect app has updated about 60% of matches - some higher others now lower. I can only guess that they have received the official paperwork from clubs, where as the figures on the night or day after are verbal reports?
Some strange ones - Derry's lowest figure was previously against Sligo. Its now their highest.
The app even went to the bother of updating two fixtures by 1 attendee! Bohs-Rovers was 4290, now 4291. Galway-Treaty was 2304, now 2305
Drogheda and Shamrock Rovers figures haven't changed.
I have updated figures for Premier Division: https://twitter.com/LoI_stats/status...20342240174080
And First Division: https://twitter.com/LoI_stats/status...03287333486615

There are approximately 3.7k seats, plus 300 standing capacity (definitely room for more, but not allowed, for some reason).
The 10% allocation is made available to away fans, but whatever hasn't been sold by match day is then released to general sale, so the match sells out at capacity.
So if the stand on the Lone Moor Road had been the full length as originally planned I take it then capacity could have been been about 4200-4300?
The capacity would have been about 6k. There are roughly 1k seats on the Lone Moor side stand, which is planned to be trebled. FYI, the plan was always that it would be done in stages, but funding has been delayed due to the Casement Park planning issues. The minister wouldn't sign off on the sport infrastructure funding as way to ensure the money for Casement remained unspent.
Tickets for Galway's visit to Tralee next Friday are on sale. Galway will be making the bus journey but it'll be the home team who'll be looking to park the bus.
2,192 at the RSC v Kerry tonight.
Rovers - Shels 6835
Bohs - Pats 4428
UCD - Cork 519
Galway - Bray 2411
Waterford - Kerry 2192
Harps - Treaty 1210
Athlone - Cobh TBC
6824 in tallaghr tonight. 11 more turned up after an hour to make it 6835.
About 700 shels I'd say
1210 at Finn Park
2,411 at Edp with about 30 bray fans. The place was rocking and the team were brilliant.
Dundalk v Derry 2377
Not bad for a Sunday afternoon game I guess.
Last season Dundalk v Derry fixtures 3357 and 2856.
Thats Dundalk's lowest crowd of the season, certainly would have expected low 3k if it was a Friday night.
any attendances for Sligo v Drogs or Longford v Wexford? :confused:
FAI connect says 2317 and 404 respectively
Full weekend rundown:
Shamrock Rovers v Shelbourne - 6,835

Aiui, the previous Minister for Communities (incls. Sport), SF's Deirdre Hargey, claimed that the £36m ringfenced for Sub-regional stadia, from which DCFC were due an allocation, could not be released without the approval of the whole Executive.
Yet she also indicated that she could release the £62m ringfenced for Casement without such approval. (She later had to retract this claim, I think?). Anyhow, it is widely believed that the £36m for sub-regional money is being "held to ransom" while everyone is haggling over the money for Casement.
Meaning nothing is actually getting done.
As per usual.
