Still our best crowds in 4 years, wahey...
They were in the premier before and crowds were at highest around 1,600. Wouldn't be higher than their neighbors and nowhere near Cork or Rover but would be highly respectable, but one year their average att was about 1,000 which would be one of the lower supported clubs. Its hard to know but if Harps were doing well and had the new ground finished they could get over the 1,000 mark again. A few years down the road is a possibility but in the near future no.Quote:

Im using stats to back up my estimates. The new ground + a successful team would help more but the ground is still a few years away and wont be successfull any time soonQuote:

Hopefully our new poster campaigns will have the desired results given time as they have created a bit of discussion.
Some classics on the way for our remaining games

397 at Limerick Wexford
Poor attendance but I don't think a lot of people even knew the league was back on tonight. Not much coverage anywhere of it and I didn't see much advertising. I expect a much better crowd at the next home game.Quote:

Very poor crowds reported so far for tonight. I suppose most soccer followers were glued to the telly watching the Germans play. great poster from Atlone and hopefully they can create a bit of interest in the club around their town. Limerick are finding it difficult to increase their support even with their team winning nearly all their games. About a 100 people at the Galway derby is not great either and it would be good to know if this figure is acceptable to those office holders in the FAI who see Salthill Devon Galway along with Mervue as the future of League of Ireland in the west.
Fair play to the Cork fans they are supporting their club in good numbers.
I'd be surprised if the number of paying punters was far into double figures.Quote:

Terrible crowd in Richmond, I'd say 1,500 at most with about 250/300 Bohs fans
230 in Finn Park last night - 142 paying in. That's from the match observer who I spoke to after the game.
Any idea how many Derry fans? Love the trips to Cork but it's too far a trip for me to be making too often.Quote:

201 "official" in Mervue.
120 at a push imo, 30ish from Longford.Quote:

I couldn't make this match, typical of my luck recently ! mervue do add there season tickets sales to there actual attendance and give this as their "official" attendance. Season ticket sales stand at 89. This would make De Towns post spot on !
516 @ Limerick Harps last night
Up from last week, presume the lack of Euro 2012 helped a bit. If form holds the place should be packed for the next Longford game.
I think it just shows that the saying, "if you build it, they will come", is true even for the LOI. It's a fantastic ground to watch a game in and we're very lucky to have it. I think the fact that it is a good family night out boost our attendances a lot.Quote:

As per Star and Irish Times reports
ET attendance estimates:
Bohs v Shams - 4,000 est.
Bray v Cork - 1,200 est.
Derry v Drogs - 1,100 est.
St.Pats v Sligo - 1,579
Athlone v Salthill - 225
Limerick v Harps - 516
Mervue v Longford - 221
Wexford v Waterford 350
Athlone Town vs Salthill Devon 225 is official
Considering the Jodi Stand holds 2,700 people, we can dismiss this rather easily...Quote:
