No more than Longford I find it hard to believe ground location doesn’t play a part , I mean for a lad that goes for a few pints after work and then might go to the game surely it makes a big difference If the ground is fairly central and you can walk to the gameQuote:

Bishopsgate is 3 miles out of town and would put off ppl that dont drive.Quote:

*3409 announced.
Out of curiosity, how many away fans would UCD have brought to the Pat's game last night?
Couple of dozen I guess.
Cant count club officials or players family or friends!Quote:

2120 in Showgrounds about 80 in away support.
Looked to be 3,000 in the Brandywell. Lowest attendance this season.
Think there was only 300 at our game which isnt surprising really.Quote:

Seriously impressive we didn't have crowds approaching that in 2010 / 11.
The work the Rovers board have done over the last few years has been fantastic.
The free Kids season tickets a few years ago did a lot for building attendances now, also community work has been strong.
Just think how big your crowds would be if you had a football shirt made out of dead bus seats ?Quote:

Thanks in advance.
Big help to have the stadium ye've got ,in terms of capacity and facilities.Quote:

For in NI, the Premiership saw an increase in 2021/22 over 2018/19 (previous non-Covid season) of.... 32%!
This worked out at an average of 1,440 per club, over the full 12 clubs i.e. half of what the 10 PD clubs have been getting.
If both leagues growing at a rate of 32% doesn't lead to an All-Ireland League (if not a united Ireland) we might as well give up. Written in the stars!
Surprised to see 821 at Finn Park tonight considering our form, the usual mid summer dip in attendances, and the lack of buzz about the club at the minute.
984 at Waterford v Bray which is our lowest home crowd of the season.
7,445 in Tallaght
UCD-Derry City: 500 is the estimate.
It was nowhere near that.
Higher or lower (he asked in a Bruce Forsyth accent) ?Quote:

I think id park DCWA's count of 100 up there with his assertion that Derry are going to win the league at a canter this year. :eek:
I hear James McClean is definitely on his way too.
Fwiw, programme sales indicate 400-500 of a crowd. Not a massively scientific metric, but they can be quite consistent all the same.
Definitely lower than the Sligo game before the break

Now now, in the predictions thread I have Derry 2nd and Rovers 1st. Even that 2nd is now taking on a distinctly wishful appearance.Quote:

St. Patrick's Athletic 1-2 Shamrock Rovers
Att: 4,000 (estimate) according to Extratime.ie
Did it looked as packed on LOITV or was anyone there to comment!
