No official number for towns game last night but I'd hazard a guess of 150 with no more than 200. Terrible crowd and a very depressed atmosphere from the home fans until the end, a lot of supporters have just had enough at this stage. Wait till next season Itl get worse.
About 400 in Finn Park on Friday night. About 60-70 At-lone fans.
I thought there was more then that...seemed to be more there then at the Cobh game 2 weeks before..Quote:

1824 at Athlone vs Longford
About 400 at ramblers v waterford.
Nigel, ET has an estimate of 2,000 for Bohs Dundalk, a few hundred under that I would think. Surprised there werent more Dundalk fans.
Missing attendance Bohs v Derry, looked about 1200 to me , for what its worth
Thats not bad for a team so low in the 1st division at this stage in the season. might be out of debt soon.Quote:

I think what this season has shown is that if Cobh can challenge for promotion next season the support is there and that is fantastic for the club.Quote:

Cobh don't have a good enough support from the Premier division but would love for them to at least challange near the top of the first. Once Harps get into their new ground and start to pay it off they will be a club who will be good enough for the top division or at least a yo-yo team.
What kind of support did Cobh get when they were in the Premier?
Varied, from 400 to 4000! Average would have been 7 to 800 iirc.
That's hardly too low to sustain a Premier team.
Depending on the game, it was in the range of 600-1000 if I recall correctly (about 2000 for the game against us).
I'm pretty sure the first home game with city was 4,000, was the only sell out in Cobh that I can remember ever.
Limerick vs Shels 1,584
607 offical for Mervue v Longford, got to be a record crowd for Fahy's Field.
Think it's 1217 in Oriel toniight

607 given as the official attendance last night, as always I'm skeptical of that figure.
Some somewhat shaky pictures from Fahy's Field. Somebody can have a go at counting if they fancy it.

I should have more sense, but for old times sake...
607 or whatever it was isn't the highest attendance they have reported iirc.
If the esti.ates coming from people are accurate then it may hve been a record crowd.
1376 in Dalymount for Brays great escape part XXMLX.
1612 in The Showgrounds
Cork City vs Pats - 2398.
That was a very strong crowd to finish your season Adam, especially after a bad defeat last week.Quote:

Nigel, when you get time to do your final end of season figures, if you have the highest and lowest of each club that would be very interesting to see.
These were ours.
Highest
09-Sep Drogs 3,324
Lowest
24-May UCD 1,155
Avg was 1,973 for the season, I think we may be out a few from your figures, but we'll not fall out. I didnt realise until I read it on orielweb this am, that our lowest this season (1,155) was bigger than our average for all of last season (950) ## Credit Holidaysong for that spot.
999 official attendance against mervue on Friday night (there were a few later comers tho so 1000 for all intended purposes). That would be our 2nd highest home attendance of the season after 1115 against athlone.
Anything from Drogheda v Bohs? No figure given anywhere. Seemed to be a large travelling support too. Anyone got any sort of accurate estimate even?
Final figures for 2013 season.
Note; a mix up with excel had wrong average figure and overall attendance for the last update which will explain any massive jump in either figure.
Missing Drogs v Bohs.

Nice one Nigel
However my eagle eye has noticed 10 figures for UCD compared to 9 for the rest?
The 60% drop in Cobh's attendance is unforgivable. Sack the board!
Longford would want to have a look at themselves for that average attendance, even if it is up on the last few years. Startling jump from Athlone.
As I correctly predicted months ago in the face of ridicule, Bohs have achieved a healthy increase in average attendance (although perhaps the extra game vs Rovers accounts for that), while Pats and Dundalk in particular will be pleased with themselves. A lot of work to do for Rovers and Sligo, goes to show how difficult it is to maintain your fan base when things are slightly sub-optimal, let alone in freefall like in Tallaght.
