I'd probably agree, and given the season and quality of football on offer we should have been able to attract a little more. The current avg is 2,300, this is due to only two matches so far been over 3k. There was a 3rd one, but that's not counted in league terms (Hajduk Split)Quote:

I'm not sure what would be considered a big crowd anymore, we are drawing from a local population of 37k, so it's not a huge base to start with. We also have supporters from the surrounding areas and even over the border, also a lot are are based in Dublin. This obviously involves traveling for fans to see home games, some might pick matches, but there is no reason we can't build on these areas and continue to attract more support next season.
I think it's probably better to have moderate to good crowds but on a consistent basis, as opposed to only a few big crowds, then returning to poor crowds.
Facilities might also be a factor, and it's obvious the old ground needs upgrading. It would be nice to see some improvement in that area sooner rather than later.
