I was speaking to PA guy on way out, he actually asked for it to be re-checked when it was passed to him to read out, there has been some very poor calls in recent years on the 'official' crowd but this was up there with one of the worst, it was 1,800 abs min and not too far off 2k more to think of it. One of our crew who doesn't have a ST got in 8 mins late due to only 3 hatches open to buy tickets.
1436 is what was announced at Dundalk v Cobh and like... ..
. LoL 😆 temple must have had a word with Matthews on how to manipulate the figures OP
Biggest game of this season so far and nobody is falling for this .
My own estimate is 1900
I never understand this assumption. Nothing formality about it. It's a one legged game, anyone can cause an upset in those. You'll have a first division team who should be used to winning the majority of the season vs the premier team who will have lost the majority of games. If you look at the last 10-12 years, it has been majority first division teams who won, and that's going back to when the final was (and should still be imo) 2 legged.Quote:

26,580 at Cork City v Celtic.
Played at Pairc Ui Chaoimh? If so - isn't that not much over half its total capacity?Quote:

That said, I'm never overly sympathetic of the 20k extra people who turn up for a pre-season friendly like this anyway
Any figure for Tolka last night, Riverside looked well packed!

The figure that stands out to me most there is Bray with their biggest average in well over a decade
Thanks for keeping all of this going, its very interesting to see the figs and trends.Quote:

Thanks Nigel.
Rovers will probably finish with the highest average. Are Bohs planning on having another game in Lansdowne?
4,264, minus the Aviva game.Quote:

Wexford home attendances are doing very well, 689 for the visit of bottom club Athlone!
Poor Treaty home attendance for the visit of high flying Cobh as they are average about 1,100!
Any reasons why?
How bad will Cork City’s crowd be for a non league team at 12pm on a Saturday????
It won't be the smallest attendance in the 2nd round of fixtures!Quote:

Premier - about 150k more to surpass last season. With 11 full rounds of games that should be achievable, probably 650k by seasons end
First - about 61k to surpass last season. 13 full rounds plus playoffs so expect that should be up a bit on last year.
SHould be over 800,000 this season.

With the greatest of respect to Cobh and the season they're having, I don't think their form will draw the crowds in Limerick.
Some good attractions there to choose in Limerick!Quote:

I was going to post the same thing. I know they've had a great run so far this season, but is there anything else driving this?Quote:

Good game to watch for. all including neutrals I'd think but Dundalk once again not able to convert chances to goals which has become a bit concerning .
We've got a few in and also have a few coming back from injury but crossed fingers and everything else for next few months 🤞
