I think the move to Friday nights was the key, the City thing not being at home doesn't make much difference tbh as some of the home games clashed and the crowds were still very good. Also the club did a lot of promotional work over the past few years.Quote:

That Sligo crowd feels quite low?Quote:

A **** of a night combined with losing to UCD the week before would have knocked a good bit of the gate….Quote:

Very healthy crowdQuote:

Great away support, well done to all those who travelled and helped towards the atmosphere!
1,420 at the RSC v Longford.
1014 at Finn Park
Genuinely impressed that Harps are still drawing crowds of over 1,000 given the season it's been for the club.Quote:

Fair play to harps that’s very impressive, bohs were struggling to sell out the Jodi when Fenlon was winning titles, and when the arse fell out we were looking at a hardcore 1200 .
Really hope this new build boosts harps again, a regular 2k plus aways would be a great start.
Announced at the game last night as 4326 I think that’d be with dundalks very ****ing noisy 450, hope they weren’t all in the hut!

632 in MH Park on Friday. With 500 seating and the limitations of the rest of the ground, 600-700 is probably a decent figure. There isn't a major push through social media other than announcing tickets are on sale at the start of matchweek and a reminder on matchday. I suppose once the main stand is sold out, pushing sales for lower vantage points would be excessive.
519 at UCD v Drogheda
792 in a rain soaked Finn Park.
On LOITV it looked near the 3,500+ at Tolka with the usual 800+ away fans from Bohs.
Anyone there on the nite can confirm!
Well Tolka capacity is 4200 and online tickets sold out yesterday afternoon so attendance must have been fairly near capacity.Quote:

There's a separate conversation going on in the euro thread about the standard of the league being at a low ebb this year. I think there's some merit to it but think it's been an over-reaction to a couple of games. Even if the standard of the top teams has come off its peak I would still be off the opinion that the general health of the league has never been in better place since I began following in 15 or so years ago.
The strength of the rivalries at home is much more important for the future of the game here vs Champions League results imo. I always thought Euro results were the key to a strong LOI but that's putting the cart before the horse. Having sell out games (facilities not withstanding) and a tv deal are much more important for the growth of the game here.
1257 at Athlone v Galway is a decent number too for this time of year.
About 2000 at the Showgrounds last nite with about 100+ away fans up from Cork, fair play to them in awful conditions.
2236 attendance
What was done to the away end that adds 300+ to the capacity of it? Was the fence at the back of the terrace moved back?Quote:

Yep a major issue with the foundations so won’t be reopened to fans any time soon. Pricey fix I’d say.Quote:

Although the stadium looks dilapidated and run down, I think it really adds to the feel and what the League has to offer, of a real traditional soccer ground and game.
If we could just get the facilities to match what is going on with the clubs and their structure, things would really take off!
What other team game has a great structure and mixture that highlights young talent, experienced players and great diversity through all the teams.
It really is "The greatest little league in the World"
:)
It really isnt that bad you know
Lets be honest, for too many years we have been accepting these facilities.Quote:

And, it's not just the format that needs to change, its the basic infrastructure which for our league now is the facilities.
We have to be able to attract all walks of society and if the product is presented with proper facilities, such as covered seating/terracing, clean toilet facilities for men/women and reasonable catering, it can only attract more passing supporters!
:)
You'd hope that with clean toilet facilities we can also attract ore p!ssing supporters.... :party:Quote:

Weekend rundown:
Shelbourne v Bohemians - 4,450
Sligo Rovers v Cork City - 2,236
UCD v Drogheda United - 519
Athlone Town v Galway United - 1,257
Finn Harps v Cobh Ramblers - 792
Bray v Wexford - no figure
Longford Town v Kerry - no figure
Second home game in a row for Longford not to upload an attendance figure to FAI Connect.
174 at UCD/Cobh according to the FAI Connect APP ,that is sparse...
Around about 350-400 at Kilbarrack v Harps with 100 of that feral children. About 50 travelling Harps fans.
665 for Kerry v Ringmahon - looks like the attendances have stabilised now, so hopefully last night's win should see a boost for the Harps game.
Attendances have stabilised alright around 600-700. Considering the main stand takes 500 and the limitations of the rest of the ground, it's probably the right size of a crowd for the facilities currently available.Quote:
