Do you really want to know the real reason! :money:

My guess from being at the match was that the attendance was just over 3000.(the shed was overflowing at both ends and bigger than normal crowd on the town side of the ground) but agree with you totally about the conditions at OP and last night was cold - ie, not the sort of weather that would attract the casual/floating supporter to attend.
EDIT: Stand was sold out and great away support also.
No it wasn’t, far from it. More or less all of the seats that were not under the roof closer to the away end half of the pitch were unoccupied as you can see in the below video. Granted the video is right at the end of the match but it was like that all night

Fair enough.Not going to get in to a huge debate over this. A lot of Shed fans usually move to the townside end of the ground(closer to the exit gate) for the last 5/10 mins of the match.(some fans call the townside end the "5 minute stand" for that reason) Just my opinion of attendance as a ST regular in OP,nothing written in granite.
Most at the match I spoke to said just over 3k at the Dundalk v Pats game, there is no doubt crowds are down 500 this year v the SK era, but def looked to be more than the 2,734 announced.
4k at the Derry-Harps.
They seem to be selling 300 odd terrace tickets now too.
2,800 at EDP v Athlone
From not having a scoreboard for a season or so, the new one as seen in this video at the start is a monster, must be biggest in the league?

Is there a sticky where you can just see the averages?
Bit of a troll trying to find anything through this thread.
Been a bit of a crap year for getting official attendance figures. I don't ever remember it being so difficult before. Will try and update again before this weekends fixtures.
Looks set to be a great crowd in Inchicore tomorrow night. All seats are sold out and there’s less than 200 standing tickets left on the camac. Not sure how the Bohs tickets are selling but it could be a sell out
Yeah not the first sell out that pats will have had this season, the Sligo and shams games sold out off the top of my head, others that I’m missing there too. Obviously the European game against Mura but that was limited capacity.
One club that’s missing from your list is Drogheda I think who sold out games against UCD and Dundalk early in the season IIRC.
Cork v Galway in both Terryland and Turners Cross could’ve been sold out also, if not then they were very close to it
