Good set of FD attendances there.

Any Pat's v Cork attendance figure out yet?
Looked well below Pat's home average, maybe 3,500+ :confused:
Pats not selling out their full allocation to season ticket holders is a concern. Last couple of games went to a general sale.
Think some getting peed off with the performances.
Shels record lowest home attendance so far 3539, considering the it being a Monday fixture although there was a decent away support for the Drogs which helped boost the number!
Shams v St. Ptas attendance 6542, was a terrific figure for this Monday night fixture, good away support from the Pats fans.
St Pat's have been informed by FAI Disciplinary of a suspended partial stadium closure for the remainder of the 2025 League of Ireland season.
What effect has this on the Richmond road current capacity 5,340 (Seats 2,800). Does it affect the Main Stand seating capacity of 1,800?
A few pitch invasions after late goals this season by a load of teenagers and youngsters with the latest one the Cork match last week. I'm assuming that the section threatened with closure is where the SEI stand at the corner of the main stand near the turnstiles. It's too easy for the youngsters to hop the fence between the stand and the pitch.
St. Pats v Waterford attendance of 4009 while Shels v Sligo attendance of 4008, St. Pats had to be bigger, I suppose, strange one that!
Derry not announcing their attendance again, on TV it looked like a disappointing home attendance for the visit of the league leaders!
By the by, encouraging attendances at all home First Division clubs, thought Treaty would have had a bigger turnout, Limerick hurlers took some away I guess, but over 5,000+ in total is still great for the division.
https://x.com/LOICrowds/status/1927011290657984740 - Derry City's attendance of 4,250 on Friday is their highest attendance at the Ryan McBride Brandywell for a league game since 2006.
Is the stand behind the goal 'fully open' yet? It looked it to me, and the capacity of the ground is supposed to be just under 6,300 when it is. Do you reckon another 2 thousand people could’ve fit into the ground on Friday? Sounds like either an over estimated capacity or an underestimated crowd

New stand was fully open and the ground looked pretty full from my vantage point in the away end. Other than that no clue re actual capacity.
Premier League (Series 14) Update

Shamrock Rovers v Sligo 4577
Derry v St Pats 4010 ('2 Year Contract')
Can only speak to Friday which was 3/4 seated with young Ultra types standing in one section. Looks weird seeing people sitting in a safe standing area, makes it look empty.

Issues with seat installation means can't be officially used for standing this season. All seats need removed and reattached before H&S will approve safe standing. They installed the seats by bolting onto the horizontal part of concrete meaning a trip hazard when the seats are raised. They need attached to the vertical concrete to resolve. Therefore Brandywell capacity about 5,200 this season growing to 6,300 next season.
Yeah thats a pretty basic error, the rise is where fittings are attached unless they are recessed or bored at each end, as a general thing!? Like having to step over every door frame basic. If it was an installation error rather than an architect blunder i'd be looking at loss of income on reduced capacity.
Projections for a jump in attendances when safe standing was due to open could be argued, novelty factor or something. It could be done. May not be worth it but the installation company deserve it unless it was an architect error on the plans and that should have been spotted. Again, in the grand scheme of things its not major but it is such silly stuff like this that delays all sorts of projects and costs money often to the taxpayer. Extension to the community school in Balbriggan yeas back was delayed for months cause the standard size door frames were the wrong size. Then the doors themselves were not fire doors so all had to be replaced, days before opening - just daft stuff and the bigger the project the bigger the problem caused like with NCH.
6207 was the number that I think Con Murphy announced for the Shams Galway match last night.
Friday's attendances as per yesterday's paper.
Bohs v Derry 4111,
Cork v Shels 2821
Shamrock Rovers v Galway 6204
Sligo Rovers v St Pats 2356
