No Champs league or EPL games on on the Tuesday night we play Shels which isn't too bad but a lot of other reason which will take away from the numbers.Quote:

2760 at the Cross. Poor enough for the first home game but they got entertained!
That sounds incredibly sinister without context!Quote:

Derry City secured a 6-0 win over UCD at the UCD Bowl in front of a disappointingly small crowd on Friday night........Attendance: 231
Mervues att beat that @ 265

About 4,000 at Tallaght.
No doubt a fair fewof those in attendance were Derry supportersQuote:

Fairly small Derry crowd; 20 or 30 maybe?
I'd say about 30-40 Limerick fans. They made more noise than their numbers suggested to be fair to them.Quote:

id hazard a guess at about 900 in tolka this evening. around 300 dfc fans. also told that last weeks oriel attendance of 2598 was paying customers on the night and did not include season tickets. season ticket sales just over 500 and just over 600 away tickets were bought for the night
Sounds like they got value for money though.Quote:

Decent crowd. Attendances looking good in most grounds so far.
I'm surprised Cork weren't over 3,500-4,000 for their first home game.
There were people whose tickets weren't scanning at the gate so I'm not sure the official figure is right.Quote:

Have to say I did think there was a little more than the figure announced but if it didn't include ST holders what the point announcing it by DFC? Hopefully they can get the correct figure for Sligo, even it means adding on 80% of ST sales.Quote:

yeah seemed more than what was announced.. looked more like 3500 to me.. shed was full, donie forde was near full and decent enough in the derrynaneQuote:

Yeah probably should of been looking at over 3,000 for this as reigning champions. On the plus side it was 500 more than the first fixture against UCD last season.Quote:

1) 4 teams had a better first home attendance than the reigning Champions, while the team almost relegated were only a mere 100 behind.
Shamrock Rovers - 4,000
Limerick - 3,758
Derry - 2,850
Cork - 2,760
Sligo - 2,684
Dundalk - 2,598
2) Top 6 attendances all looking fairly healthy, (albeit something we usually say at this time of year) good for the league, a couple of good results might see most of them back. That's not to say Fran Gavin won't be too happy Limerick didn't reach his estimate of 10,000 in Thomond.
3) The return of Cobh saw the highest First Division attendance with an impressive 824. Waterford and Harps the only other teams posting reasonable attendances with both 600+.
Disappointingly, a couple of teams saw very poor attendances. Longford and Athlone can feel aggrieved, while Wexford must be scratching their heads at to why only 149 people came in the gates.
4) In 2012 with 2 rounds of games played, and each team playing one home game, there was a total overall attendance of 28,717.
In 2013, at the same point, that figure has increased, by a grand total of 63. 28,780 people have attended a League of Ireland match this season. 25,504 of that in the Premier, 3,287 in the First division.
What in utter feck has happened to Longford town?Quote:
