Drogs took 500 or so, stand was almost full (1k), and another 500 at the town side of the stand, easily 200-300 infront of the stand, so that's well over 2k on one side, without counting behind the goal or the well packed shed side.
I’m sure many of us would not be surprised if tickets aren’t scanned or don’t scan, but in you go through the gate. Seen it plenty of times over the years. More so when there are big queues.Quote:

No idea how they are getting it so wrong this year with counts.
Dundalk - 2,439 (2,636; 2,689;
The interest levels around First Division is well down this year, for reasons already discussed on here about standard, runaway leaders, and everyone just being a bit crap.Quote:

2976 announced at the Showgrounds
1,241 in Limerick
1002 at Finn park
3102 at RSC.
Usually always announce the attendance in Oriel, didn't last night. Thought there would be a big crowd in as they had 20% off online tickets and free ice cream for kids but the stand wasn't even full. Not a great crowd
I heard it in the away end of the stand, was 2000+ can't remember the actual figure announced
I was at St Pats Sligo Rovers match serious crowd and atmosphere at it. Announcement made of approx 3100 fans .
3,211 was the crowd. One of the lowest of the season, which the Sunday game after Europe always does seem to be for some reason in recent yearsQuote:

4596 is the figure I was looking for. A bit disappointing for such a big game. Did live tv reduced the crowd? more promotion work needs to be done by Shels?
3,537 in Cork.
710 in Mounthawk Park, which aside from the Cork match is the best home attendance since April.
344 at Wexford/Harps
Some very low attendances at Wexford who have been spending in the last two seasons.Quote:

Don't disagree with you, just their prior three home games were 479, 593 & 378.Quote:

3056 at Sligo/Shels
284 at Longford/Treaty
Counted about 70 in the stand just before KO, Treaty brought about 20-30 and maybe another 20-30 in the Section O area of the ground. Didn't look more than 200. Grim either way but understandable given the dross being served up this seasonQuote:

Answer is no on all fronts but as I've pointed out before, the town itself is in an awful hape economically. A good portion of Longford people have to look for work outside the county, a lot of people working in the big employers in the town have come from outside the county or country so that makes it tougher for the club to form a connection with them (not impossible of course, more needs to be done but it's a skeleton volunteer crew out there who have been keeping the club ticking for decades now). Population of the town is only around 10k so if town were getting 1k a week it would actually be an insane success story. I'm hoping the club will bounce back in coming seasons, we've got a brilliant owner but long term you'd have to begin to ask yourself if a place like Longford can sustain a LOI club.Quote:
