Interesting. Anyone else think that these live Setanta games are taking away from the attendances? We're in Derry monday week for a live game and again that night will take numbers off what the crowd would have been on the friday.

Why cant they show live games on the friday night?

Main stand just over half full. Playing on Thursday knocked a fair whack off the away crowd definitely. Lennox had a moan about it in the programme

Supposedly the crowd was just over 4,000 last night. People were dissapointed as they'd hope for 5,000+ anfter all the promotion.

Becuase the target audience is out watching their team playing live.

I read a figure of 'just over 500' on the Athlone forum for Athlone V Harps, but it was from a Galway Fan and I don't know where he got it.

Derry vs Bohs about 3100. About 500-600 more than whatever you estimated the Derry v UCD game.

FAO, David, Steve Bruce and BleusAvantout - are there any similar postings for IL games anywhere ? As the 3 of you have been on here quite a lot any chance one of you could give a quick comparison to IPL crowds ?

Galway United v Derry City - official attentance 2580
City brought about 250 fans.

Our next home game is against UCD. This should bring another massive crowd to Terryland. It's not because De Students are such a big attraction either! Tickets for the Galway United V Sunderland game will go on sale at half time. There will be no other way of buying tickets for the Sunderland game which will take place on Aug 1st.

Guess between 2100-2500 at Bohs-UCD.

And Rovers seem to have a problem with the amount of people they can fit into their home stand.

I kept the same thread on ILF for a while this season; it died in part because ILF went down for a couple of weeks, and I never bothered resurrecting it. Had attendances for about 60% of games, but basically Linfield and Glentoran were top half of eL Premier level, Portadown and one or two others were UCD/Longford sort of level and the rest were lower Division One level.

Wouldn't have put it that high, to be honest. About 1800 tops. Bohs end looked a lot emptier than usual when I wandered up that way.
