How to sustain those numbers when the novelty wears off and the success tapers off is going to be the challenge to both clubs.
Considering their average attendance is up by about 2,100 so far this season, is your argument now that the facilities at Thomond are actively keeping people away from Limerick games and they'd be more comfortable in a field?Quote:

Are really comparing attendances in the first and premier divisions?Quote:

Limerick have a good squad and there is a good buzz in the city towards the team they are building.
If you want to think their attendances are due to architecture spotters, fine.
Well there was two small buses and a few cars that went up. One bus had 21, the other around 15 but not exactly sure and I'd say another 15 or so driving. So on a guess i'd say between 40-50 of us.Quote:

Something like 1057 announced at Shels v Drogs... Looked about right!
Estimate of 2,400 in Tallaght. Had you put everyone in to the main stand it would be almost full.

Would have said around 400 or so in Lissywollen. Maybe less. About 40 or 50 Harps fans down slightly scattered to the far end of the stand.
EDIT: 467 on ET.

Since the ground is near St Pats College I wonder have Shels ever tried to attract some of the students there to go to their games, I know they are most likely to be GAA fans and a lot go home at the weekends, but it could be a source of more customers. I noticed a distinct lack of fans in their 20's there last night.
Does anyone have a figure for Salthill v Waterford?
Told there was less than 50 in attendance. Official figure is 119.Quote:

It looks close to capacity in Thomond tonight for Limerick-Bohs.
I'm surprised there were that many of us! Decent home crowd for a Saturday afternoon.Quote:

You only have to look at what's turning up to the games. Fellas are bringing their kids now and even more curiously I've noticed these smaller than us, high pitched things have started to turn up at Limerick games. I'm reliably informed they're called "women".
We've been lucky with the fixtures aswell. Difficult bunch from a football point of view but off the pitch Cork, Pats and Rovers were always going to be decent crowds. The most impressive figure that we've had was the 1712 against UCD on a Tuesday. That would have had 200 written all over it last year!
I reckon our crowds are about to level out as well. Our next two home games are Bohs on Tuesday and then Shels Saturday week and I'll be very (pleasantly) surprised if we get more than 3000 combined for those two games.
Bohs are no real draw anymore and we've no form to speak of heading into it while the Shelbourne game is on the same day as Team Munsters Budweiser Trophy semi final game in Germany.
If our crowds for the season average out at anything above 1200-1500 it's a great success.
We've had a great start - Bit will crowds stay at that level?? Of course not.
Week 6. After weekend matches.

Took Cobh as 400 estimate. Nothing on Extratime.ie or anywhere else.
Shamrock Rovers estimate was 1,800. Will correct as official figure comes in (although they haven't released an official attendance yet this season)
Possibly the weakest week yet attendance wise. Just under 9,000 people at 9 games. Obviously missing an extra Premier Division game, but still poor yet considering improving attendances in some grounds. 1,800 is probably one of the worst league attendances in Tallaght since the move there.
At this stage though, it's looking like most averages are exactly where they were expected to be, even at this early stage of the season.
