No figure announced at Pats v Galway last Friday, maybe in 800-900 range. I seen them at Limerick this season, but do many other LoI clubs have ballboys for their games. Not good for the image of the league to have a goalkeeper have to jump the wall to retrieve the ball.
Dundalk have ball girls. Does that count?Quote:

One of those numbers in that figure doesn't look right to me. Kids, can you guess which one? Seriously though, it was a great crowd on the night and could have been bigger but I'm sure the weather put off some people from turning up on the night. I don't know what it is about the Av.. erm, I mean Dublin Arena, but I can never warm to the place. Something soulless about the venue.Quote:

It also it gives supporters a talking point, judging the skill of the individual children and whether in they're up to the job.
Rovers do as well, Academy kids normally and some of them make an effort to show a bit of skill while they are at it.
Bohemians-Derry a very disappointing 978.
Bohs derry crowd terrible. Man U v Southampton?
I'd have no doubt that hit the crowd. Some time back there was a Man United Villa game on a Friday and it certainly caused our crowd to dip at the time.
If there were 400 at that game I'd be surprised. Maybe 40-60 from Cork.
321 official i seen somewhere :(Quote:

Ah to be honest it is like a morgue these days but if we win the FD next season that will soon change. Footballs a funny game and fans attitudes soon change
I think the Trackchamp streaming agreement has affected attendance. Quite easy to whatever game u want on them and they have improved slightly on quality. Shelbourne have about 6,000 watching a Facebook stream of their game against Athlone when they was only about 200 at most in attendance for example.
