Fairly sure we had an earlier discussion on emty seats in the home end that away fans could've used...

Dundalk didn't bring the 1,200 they said they sold. About 1,000 of them there so not really sure where this complaint of not having more tickets is coming from.

Now settle yourself party. I had a very close sight on the away tickets, and 1,200 were sold, and up to 200 DLK fans paid on elsewhere, like it or not, Dundalk made up to close on half the attendance.

Loving the 'about 1000 of them' comment........give your club a ring on morning and ask how much €€€ was sent down or due to be sent down by Dundalk.

Edit 1,350 sold.

Never denied how many you sold, just how many turned up, fair play for selling so many tickets, the more people at games the better.

I think about 3,800 was the figure given for the league cup final tonight. More Drogs at it than I expected.

The normal away section looked quite full. Is that where the Drogheda fans were?

Roughly around 200 at the town game last night if even that. Far worse attendance than expected but then again when you live in a town called 'little mayo' it's not difficult to see why we aren't getting any support.

Heartening turn-out of Drogs supporters. Semi-final v Dundalk should be rocking.

Lowest league attendance I've ever seen at finn park on friday night past. Be surprised if it reached 200.

933 at thomond for Limerick v Shamrock R. Not bad I suppose as midweek games seem to have lower crowds.

About 80-90 rovers fans.

We seem to have stayed around the 850 mark for home support recently. The constant switching of games is a balls though. Our last two home games will be on a Monday and Wednesday night which doesn't help.

Anyone know where ya would get an "official" attendance for Salthill. Just wondering as i didnt see one mentioned anywhere for our game there last friday.

Delighted to see a packed Lissywollen last night. Hope we can keep 1500+ for Premier Division games next season.

I wonder how Athlone plan to deal with segregation in the ground for the bigger games next year. Only one gate in and out of the ground doesnt help.

Are there any plans to add another stand there?
28/09/2013, 5:13 PM
atfconline

There are already unused gates over on the far side of the ground. There is scope to add another shop at the near end of the stand, which we've done on stop-gap measure for the last two home games and there are already toilets at both ends of the stand.

Problem is when ya have the likes of Rovers, Pats and Dundalk etc coming down, if we have 2000 home fans, where are ya going to put the away fans. Cant put them behind the goal for safety reasons (all the stones, rocks etc) so what do ya do there. Id love if we built a little shed behind one of the goals.

You have to have seats for em anyway i think.

Did dundalk not have the Shed without seats when they first got promoted? Could be wrong

There's still no seats there,a nd that's for home fans.

Away fans get the uncovered seats/terrace and occasionally space in the main stand

So they had the fifth biggest then?

Looks like there is seats to me? or is there just a few of them?

Should probably install another ten to fifteen thousand seats to be sure to be sure

Fair enough. Presumed there wasn't. Rarely used anyway (just like the away section)

Dundalk installed/replaced around 3,200 seats to bring the ground up to standard of hosting two rounds of European games in 2010. The shed has around 1,000 seats, most of central part not used, but fans do sit on either side of the covering.

There is also seating in the town side of the stand, again it's a mixed take up for use, but definitely used. Away section, hardly ever see anyone using the seats there.

I don't expect Athlone to have a average much above 1.000 to be honest. Especially if results go against yee which im guessing they will.

A very small stand behind the goal with its own toilets/food cart and entrance. 500 roofed seats would be plenty. but i think it will be hard too get this done before next season starts.

Isn't a second entrance a requirement?

Maybe get rid of the stones and rocks? (I can't even begin to imagine what the 'etc' refers to...)

I'd have to say - that is probably my favourite ever post on Foot.ie - just for the 'stones and rocks' reference.

hahaha ok ok calm :)
The etc meaning the big pitch wide muck piles that are behind the goals for some unknown reason

Oh ye of little faith :P
I reckon Roddy will put a strong enough team together. Of course well lose games, and our crowd will drop, but im looking forward to the challenge ahead. Next season is all about stability. Thats all.

Sure its only a short couple of months ago that I was at the Harps game against Athlone in Lissywollen, I'd say at a struggle there were 300 there. You can't beat a bandwagon but give it a few bad results next season and lets see where the avg settles. Its only really the last 8-10 games that have seen the results which led to a big jump in numbers, that game against harps was a bit of a turning point for both teams

Limerick have managed a consistent enough four digit level of crowd, with a fairly noticeable drop off in the last month and a half as the season winds down into irrelevancy (for the club I mean). And that's around a mid-table level. You'd have to imagine that, first season back, Athlone would only ever be reaching that high, probably a little lower. With the increased away crowds, something in the region of Bray's numbers would be good. 1500 a game is certainly a very ambitious target.
