Maroon,

Apart from the price hike in Terryland, any other reason why there’s been a huge drop off in attendances as it can’t be all just that.
Last season I heard Nick Leeson was running free busses for kids, doing great promos and just getting a good crowd in the stadium for atmosphere and support.
Great idea if true?

What’s gone wrong this year as I don’t think a 5 Euro price hike and a poorer season, you don’t just drop your average from around 3000 to 1200.

I think it's the likes of the BBC who are playing fantasy football attendances.

There was near enough 2,000 in the new stand itself, let alone the rest of the stadium....

The juicy irony of a Cork fan accusing anyone or anythin else of fantasising on attendances...... :D

Even if yee's were building the Bernabeu, and we were playing in the Daisy Field, you still wouldn't be the North-west's centre for anything bar worst derby record in Irish footballing history...... :D

Was at St Pats v Longford tonight and reckon in region of 1100/1200 there , though regulars will be more accurate.

I know its cup, but there was 1050 fans at the Limerick cork game last night!

About 200-300

Oficial attendance: Galway United V. Waterford United = 615:o

Athlone vs Finn Harps

Was told the attendance last night but cant remember the exact figure.

No more than 320 at the game though. About 100 of them harps fans.

I think there was 80 at the Monaghan v UCD game, maybe 100 maximum.

1348 at Shels V Dundalk game last night.

Poor form that United have now stopped announcing official attendances.At least I think they have, don't remember one last night or for Cobh game. And pathetic people of the city won't come out and support the club in serious time of need

Terrible crowd at shams game tonight, good crowd up from us though. I'll leave it to someone else to guess/post the official attendance.

385 at Youths V Killester according to the Star. Sounds right

Shamrock Rovers v Sligo Rovers: 1,260


Less than 312 Sligo fans.
