Harps v Athlone. Reported to be (one of) the worst league attendance ever at Finn Park! Our club needs a saviour!
extratime said 300 at the longford-wexford game, think it was nearer 350-400 myself, still pretty crappy thou considering were top..
FA Cup final didn't help i'd say, having the ko at 7:45 or 8:00 would surely have been better than 7:30
I counted 180 at the Limerick-Cork City Munster Senior Cup Final today at kick off but i think a few turned up after kick off so maybe 200, something like 50-75 Cork City fans.
260 at Harps Athlone.
Shocking, nay- terrifying.
Will update tomorrow when not lazy and that.
The First Divisions crowds will be in the toilet (even more than normal) by the end of the season.

The First Division. :bulgy:
Longford in the bottom half of average attendence despite leading the division. What's it gonna take to get more people in the door?
And there was around 150 at the Galway & DL First Division Cup Final last night. That's not even the top junior division. Plus, it was on a Wednesday. Had it been on the weekend, there would have been a fair few more. AND it was a fiver in, so they would have collected more on the gate than Salthill Devon. If Devon aren't paying any rent, which would hardly be a surprise, the Galway FA need to support local football somehow.
Looking at Mons, I'm not even sure that works. I'll be interested to see how many turn up at your place for the Limerick game in a few weeks (provided its still first vs second).
I don't know - there's at least a lapsed support to potentially come back. It was an encouraging start attendance wise, but it hasn't really kicked on. And to be honest I wouldn't be expecting a massive improvement until the final series to be honest - the summer months are the worst for attendances for us (well for the league in general, but rural clubs in particular). For all clubs in the first, the amount of travelling support can make a significant difference when your in and around the 300's. From what I could see there was 6 Wexford fans (although they didn't score so I could be doing a disservice), so that attendance was nearly all Longford. We won't be bringing too many to Waterford.
We're playing Millwall july the 18th apparently, that'll probably be our biggest gate of the season if we don't have a home tie in the FAI cup
Mods should make this thread a sticky, given all the Crusties jizzing themselves at Galways attendance
430 at the waterford - town game according to extratime
limerick 5-2 up
attendance 65
Jeez. Between the teams, subs, managment/coaches, officials, photographers, stewards, St Johns, those there tonight for work nearly outnumber the crowd!
430 at Waterford, 246 at Athlone, 65 in Deacy Park. I bet the total attendance for 1st Division does no break 1000. Pathetic.
Athlone Town vs Mervue United 246 (Official)
1482 the official figure for Pat's v Cork City
