It's not a huge deal. Man U shipped 7 last week after all. If they can get some results and score goals, it'll be worth going to of a Friday.

FAI Connect app usually on the ball with attendance figures since the restart, but very little updates from there this weekend. Pity, going to be back to the bad old days of chasing up people via email and social media soon..
Haven't seen anything from the Bowl, but and estimate would be 550-600.
Thought it was more than the Derry game, but not much, and certainly smaller than Sligo. Probably didn't help the game didn't get the go ahead until after 5pm.
Shels vs Rovers 4,140 appears to have been added late to FAI Connect so fingers crossed for the rest. But aside from that as you mentioned there’s currently no other Premier attendances revealed aside from the 5,002 at Pats vs BohsQuote:

Did Pats get over 5k last season, also what is the capacity these days?
1,150 Bohs which is the capacity of the away end. Capacity is a couple of hundred over 5000 which has been reached a number of times over the last few years.Quote:

Some disappointing drops in the 1st division in attendance this week. Expected Galway and Bray to pull in more.
Updated since on FAI Connect. The only difference is Extratime figure of 4,371 not matching FAI Connect 4,140.Quote:

Thats v impressive then by Pats, and more so given recent results.Quote:

Thanks Nigel for keeping this going. Some big crowds there right across the board.
The 4 Dublin clubs removing UCD have an avg of 4,747, add back UCD and its 3900. Pats / Bohs / Shels all showing big increases.
Dundalk with 3,132 is a little under the PD avg, but it just shows the surge in the PD, and its great to see but I wouldn't be counting on our crowds to push the PD avg up, around the 3k mark will be our lot come end of season, if we can maintain that well and good.
Only thing is it was absolutely Baltic on FridayQuote:

Yes, sorry my mistake.Quote:

Could probably do this. One of two of my years of spreadsheets disappeared though. But could probably throw something together with whatever I have left.Quote:

I also wonder, would this increase the temptation for more clubs to try and join the LOI, like grassroots pressure to change the Fai structures, since LOI is becoming more viable?
The tweet from Dundalk about it said they had sold their total away allocation, so presumably full capacity has been reached.
Stadium infrastructure would seem the biggest deterrent to new entrants, particularly in more rural counties. Presumably if a Kildare team were to apply, they could come to an agreement with Newbridge about using Station Road again?Quote:

Never thought I'd see the day a 10,000 seater stadium was actually required by a LOI club.
Strangely enough I was passing thro Newbridge on train from Dublin Heuston to Waterford. saw ground on way up. Brings back memories of games up there a decade and a bit ago!Quote:

Crazy in this day and age we have Premier Division grounds with such low capacity limits across the league.
Facilities need developed and developed very quickly and significantly in this country if the game is to go anywhere.
Is that really all that United Park holds thse days ?Quote:

1,610 at Cobh v Galway….
7,674 at Tallaght for Rovers v Pats
Bohs v UCD - 4,017
just over 5,000 at turners cross
Will be interesting to see how the rovers attendances hold up after the car crash continues away to Dundalk and bohs, half our crowd have only experienced success
Athlone v Treaty - 721
Would have easily fit another 100 in away end on Thurs and the home end on fair side was basically empty at both endsQuote:

No official attendance at the RSC as of yet but it's much lower than our previous games, good bunch down from Bray however, a solid 50 or so.
1,423 at the RSC.
Were many rovers fans in tolka today to support the women's team? Couldn't see any on TG4.
