Let's hope, for my attendance thread sake, that Dundalk pull through and it doesn't wreck the figures for the season.

Did many Limerick fans travel to Wexford v Treaty 1,063 ?
Around 50 or 60 I'd say.Quote:

50 to 100 Treaty aka Limerick fans travelling to Wexford in an all ireland quarter final with only 1,033 at the match sums up how far off the radar LOI is outside of Dublin in terms of attendancesQuote:

Galway v Shamrock Rovers - 3,335
Actually looked a lot more on TV but obviously missing what is under the gantry. Lot standing up the old clubhouse end of the ground, presumably crowded around the new bar though.
It's getting to the point now that Terryland probably needs more spectator facilities, whether that's seating or terracing. The new bar is a great addition to the ground but it's location is a bit strange, right behind the goal. A small stand would have been more beneficial in that area.
Maybe Galway have found the key to attract fans, open a bar instead of a terraced or seated stand and they will come! :confused:Quote:

The bar is a huge addition and far more viable than a terrace or stand. Great view from it too.
Anyone know why the comer stand wasn’t built to extend the full length of the pitch? I always thought that was odd.Quote:

Stand can be extended .
About 500 at UCD v Stjarnan in the Youth League tonight I'd say
Thats a great attendance by UCD's average which was recently posted as 338!Quote:

4,237 at Pats Waterford, about 250 Waterford fans which is a few hundred less than they brought up earlier in the year
Galway Utd v Shelbourne attendance was 3,072. It's strange that it's a couple of hundred less than our game on Monday evening but it's still a good crowd.
A bit of a hit from Culture night and Monday night had a lot of university students who have gone home for the weekend by Friday night
look at who you were playing in each game ??Quote:

I agree that the absence of 3rd level students could be a factor in the attendance at Terryland last night, (I wasn't there last night so that is a guess). But their was a good number of county gaa jerseys/tops in evidence on Monday from non league of Ireland areas. Are UCD missing out on this segment of their potential market by not playing their games on say Monday nights?
Thats what I thought when seeing the crowd. Im sure there was a curious few to see youth European level too, the cameraman was definitely a UCD fan!Quote:

From watching plenty of GAA club championship games on clubber and attending a good few club games in Louth, their hasn't been more than 2 or 300 at any of them.Quote:
