I'm sure there will be additional commandos scaling the walls.

Judging by the spikes on top of said walls they wouldn't want to value their limbs too highly.

I would expect average in the Premier to be over 2000 this season as every club expect Drogs should be able to beat that number over the course of the season.

Even though only two of them managed it last year?

Pete I wouldnt be banking on us too much. Crowd numbers is one thing I have never been able to understand with bray.
Take last week for example Rovers had a huge crowd with them and we had a very healthy home support but I can almost guarantee that within the next few home games that our home support will drop (It always does) it is a huge frustration when you consider where Bray is, the size of the town and the size of its catchment area.

my mate lives less than 10 mins away from the ground and came along to the leeds friendly last season but the goon just couldnt be arsed coming to any more games at this stage I've given up trying to get him back. Although I might suggest that I bring is young fella next week and maybe he will wreck his head enough to get his dad to come along.

Yup. Looking to get FAI job ;)

I think Dundalk, Galway (if they can win a few games) & Shamrock Rovers can get above 2000. Bohs just below it last year but maybe Rovers hype with Tallght might indirectly boost numbers? Bray will rely on some big local crowd like last weeks to boost averages.

Anyway its all just speculation & can really only jugde at end of season as usually get boost at the start.

7 pages on 11 games.

We're in for a long, long thread...

I'm sure a few Pat's fans would have a better idea but judging by the 2nd half of Pat's v Galway at the end of last season I'd say there were about 800 at the game.

Around 800 at the wexford - waterford game. Bad weather ain't helping matters.

1,426 in Terryland according to extratime.ie match report.

3,410 at the Cross, but you can probably start adding Davin O' Neill to that as it doesn't look like Doonil has any intention of ever letting him play.

Sporting Fingal V U.C.D.

Now. There's the two posts side by side for you. You said "If we're down to ten teams, each of which have an average of 1500". I, however, in my ten-team model noted explicitly that the ten teams "all [...] suffer a drop to 1400" for this example.

Do you see how reading it might have helped?

I read it smart-hole - it just doesn't make sense :rolleyes:

12 teams in a league : 10 with average individual attendances of 1,500, 2 with 500 average attendance. If you cut out the two teams with a 500 attendance, you're left with - err, 10 teams with a 1,500 attendnace each. Which would give a league-wide attendance of 1,500 - not 1,400.

:confused:

Imagine a division with two teams, Derry and UCD, with an average crowd of 1800 or so. UCD get relegated, Cork replacing them. The next year, the crowd average is 1801. Yay! The division average is up! Everything is better forevermore. All praise to the FAI!

This is a good answer.

Sadly, it's for a question other than the one I asked.

Stu can answer for himself without you holding his hand.... :)

Official attendance was 330 at our game but I think there were alot more than that. Think it was 450 or so. Stand was pretty much full and loads standing near the fence.

But I explicitly said that the teams with 1500 drop to 1400 for the second season, giving the anomoly that in season 2, every team in the league has reduced crowds, but the average has gone up.
