We have had at least 2000 at every game on a Friday this season, so I don't think it's a stretch to presume the same would have happened.Quote:

On the other hand it's quite likely that some, or many, of the fans at the NI Scotland game were locals and neutrals who went along to the game, based on the number given for NI fans who travelled. Can't imagine many Welsh made the trip over for the scintillating fixture either.
The FAI screwed over the league's clubs, reduced their takings, and showed how important they viewed the league for a game between 2 nothing sides with no fans that was so vital that even most of the players couldn't be bothered turning up.
Around 4,200 in Tallaght I would have thought.
Sounds right, would have said about 1400 myself.Quote:

I'd say thats about right. There was quite a poor turnout of bohs fans.Quote:

1600 in the Brandywell
yep. 600 in Belfield. That's the figure given to us in the press box at half time. nice round figure :)
450 in Drogheda, Jaysus thats brutal...
Still cant see how moving a game back 24hrs would have any affect on the home crowd. Away support maybe but not home fans. Football on the tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, champions league final on the saturday, what more do you want?Quote:

Whether you can understand it or not is immaterial, the FACTS are that when games are moved from their normal times, crowds suffer. Be that Thursday nights, or Saturday afternoons...
Seriously?Quote:

When it's randomly moved to a Thursday for absolutely no good reason, this inconveniences fans. This is why people have a regular night and don't just play a different night every game!
When you add to this the time being changed to 6.30 the night before the game, it made it impossible for some people to make it from work (MFA's fault not FAI's)
Overall, moving nights= smaller crowds.
Having ridiculous times means even smaller crowds.
Net result= 800 (more than a third) less than we would have had on the Friday.
Law of averages says it has to happen one in a hundred times.Quote:

Attendance was 388 and about 50 harps fans down, but then your estimates have been way off since the prediction thread.Quote:

Overall average - 1,154 (1,095; 1,175; 1,221; 1,235; 1,070; 1,195)
would it be completely unfeasible that City could end the season with the second highest average attendance? bring back one or two of our former players, an increase in attendances towards the end of the season if we are going well and look like winning the league?
unlikely I know but not completely impossible
It's not completely impossible that Limerick will end the season with the second highest average attendance.
Unlikely I know but not completely impossible.
I wouldn't let it keep you up either way anyway, a good 76% of the attendance thread is nonsense.

is that from extra time or the Irish times?Quote:

And you have to move your fingers all the way from the number keys down to the letters, which is a minor inconvenience.
Waterford United v New Ross Celtic was 615 as per extratime.ie. That's a bigger crowd than some recent league games and New Ross apparently brought a decent amount of fans the short journey up the N25.
And Harps will win the Rose of Tralee!:doctor:Quote:
