I would take that with a pinch of salt. Game was sold out and a serious amount were standing either side of the Mark Farren stand and behind the showgrounds end.Quote:

4,265 in Richmond with around 300 from Sligo. Another home sell out treated to 0 Pats shots on target
1221 in FP
Drogs shels sold out I heard. Looked like shels had a full away allocation too.
It's interesting to compare the rise in football attendances with the decline in gaa crowds. In particular I wonder are the people who drifted to watch the Dublin gaa team coming back to football?
Who knows but on a side note. The Gah heads having a meltdown about no live games on tv and having to rely on GAA Go did make me chuckle. Welcome to our world lads.Quote:

Yeah the sense of entitlement they had was unbelievable. One game wasn't on and they kicked up a fuss, jesus wept.Quote:

And even 10,000 seats might not be enough for demand. Crazy levels of interest in the derby.Quote:

I know it wouln't happen, but I do think Rovers and Bohs should consider trying some future derby games at Lansdowne. Maybe agree to do one each in a season and see how it goes. Market the shiit out of it and see what kind of crowd it can draw. Would be interesting to see what impact it would have on crowds, merchandise, general interest etc. The obvious downside being that both clubs are running at close to full capacity (Rovers much less so once the North Stand opens), so new converts would struggle to be able to get to any further fixtures. But it would be a good problem to have.Quote:

The league is clearly in a growth spurt at the moment, and it is a huge missed oportunity for so many clubs not to be able to take advantage of that due to capacity constraints. It's basically costing clubs and the league not just money now, but also future supporters.
Latest plans have this now at 8000. Some would say this is not enough. Sure the Aviva was like a 2nd home to us in 2021.Quote:

Just two figures still not updated on the app:
Cobh v Kerry (Monday 1st) and Bray v Waterford (Friday 28th)
Kerry v Longford appears to be genuinely sold out for tonight, with the ticketing section of the Kerry website stating "No Events Found".
Cash sales at the gate.Quote:

Preferable to claiming a sell-out last time, and thereby missing out on walk-ups, so hopefully back in four figures tonight.
FAI Connect seems to be patchier than usual tonight, with no data at all for the First Division.
7864 in tallaght which is a stadium record I think. Fair play to the club their was a standby line outside while the crowd settled down inside and some extras were let in .
3.2k in turners cross. must have been 4/500 from pats. good away travelling mob again from a dub side down here.
Interesting to note that, as it's something that is actively discouraged in the GAA.Quote:

I think it’s up to the clubs themselves to update it. No idea what it’s not done on the night for some teams.Quote:

The owner (Andy Pilley) and director of football (Jon Walters) were both there. To be fair to the owner he seems to be at an awful lot of their matches. I think more than a lot of the other foreign owners he genuinely wants to see his plan progress.
927 at Cobh/Harps per FAI Connect…
1451 at Drogheda/Derry….
542 at the Markets Field.
Bit of a headscratcher with that dip. It was bucketing down in the hours leading up to kick-off but not sure that stands up as an excuse.
Particularly when you've been in good form lately.

If they flew by private plane why not to Galway airport?!Quote:

Derry-Drogheda was 3605 now 3270
Derry-Pats was 3054 now 3450
Cork-Derry was 3307 now 3361
I think Tommy Barrett has spoken about the poor attendances recently enough, there seems to still be a lack of connection between the city and the club. I personally don't enjoy visiting MF, it's a soulless venue and away end is terrible.Quote:
