As Dunny said its not a ****ing match but 3105 for a provincial town v 3204 for a game in the 2nd most populous place on the island is hardly a like for like comparison. In the wake of Caulfield's comments on attendances not so long ago it is bound to raise some comment!Quote:

I was fully expecting more at our game, would've been happy with 4k. Yeah should've expected some comments on it alright but shur look it lolQuote:

I also would have expected 4k last night in Cork but I was also expecting over 3k last Sunday in our own game.
857 at the first game between the two, which at the time didn't include a heap of schoolchildren in for free. That's why it looked a lot higher.Quote:

It's just another argument against summer football I'm afraid. The last few weeks of attendances across the league have been the lowest they've been all season despite coming into the business end of the year.
Harps last three attendances have been the lowest three attendances all season, despite sitting in first place and looking at a push for promotion for the first time in 8 seasons.
The same goes for everyone else. All the attendances take a big dip in July. Must really hit the clubs hard coming out of the mid-season break.
Limerick vs Sligo - 980

Ya i was very surprised to see the amount that was there. I reckon next week we could be looking at a very healthy 1,200-1,300. It was only one win but it gave the crowd there a good buzz and you could feel it when leaving. Heard a few first timers saying they would be back next week.
Week 20: Anyone able to contribute official figures?
Cork v Bohs: 3,204
Bray v Dundalk: 1,200 estimate
St Pats v Galway: 1,036
Drogheda v Shamrock Rovers: 1,000 estimate
Limerick v Sligo: 980
Shelbourne v Wexford: 762
Finn Harps v Athlone: 738
Derry v Longford: 600 estimate
Cabinteely v UCD: 300 estimate
Waterford v Cobh: ?
370 at Waterford v Cobh.
1104 at Deacy Park tonight
715 in Wexford
2709 in OP
820 Limerick v Bohs disappointing expected more but it's a horrendous night.
Up in the stand it felt like way more. The stand makes great noise when it gets anyway going.
Can't remember the exact number but the attendance announced in sligo was 1500 and change. maybe 100-120 from Cork
1,578 officialQuote:

822 at the Limerick game, down 150 from the previous week. There were 100+ kids from America at the sligo match, whatever was going on, so that pretty much accounts for it. Chelsea match on TV and the weather probably kept a few away.
I'd imagine they might break the thousand for the Longford match now thou.
