I think 11 UCD fans at the South Dublin derby is correct. There was a picture up on twitter also, of the away section so people can count for themselves. If you took Cork out of it (and Galway) would it be fair to say that crowds are the same as last season? Agree with most on here that the LoI season is too compressed, lets go back to a 9 month campaign.
The Covered stand in the Carlisle Grounds has 920 seats & it was more than half full. Add in the Pats fans in the away side that's were I estimated 850 from.Quote:

fair enough. More Pats fans in the main stand than Bray fans too.Quote:

Don't know why season can't continue into first couple of weeks of November as weather does'nt really get bad till December.
If most clubs want it changed they can vote to extend the season. Apparently though a majority want a short season and loads of midweek games.Quote:

Also an extended season leaves teams in the 8 team first division idle for a chunk of it. To extend things we really need more clubs.
Or less divisions!Quote:

We could have some kind of a random draw for a few extra games against each other, four times isn't really enough. Not for points or anything just for the fun of it.Quote:

236 at Wexford v Shamrock Rovers B according to the local papers. Looked to be more .....
Speaking of Rovers B, are they getting many to Tallaght on a Sunday? I'm sure I could check Nigel's figures but sure I've typed this now:p
Not really..260 against Harps and 400 against Shelbourne. A fair proportion of those figures seem to be away supporters too.Quote:

Also noticed that FC United over in Manchester had a crowd of over 4k for a home non-league game tonight with Chelsea live on tv. A sign that supporter owned clubs can get decent crowds.
300 ish at town v Waterford the other night an absolutely shocking home crowd regardless of weather and all the other BS excuses that seem to rotate every week.
Extratime reckoned 450. Would have said 400 or so myself if I was guessing. Either way, not brilliant.
Charging adults €5 and kids €2 helped. Fair play to the FAI though, they certainly plugged it non-stop last weekQuote:

That's it in a nutshell. Clubs may complain about fixture congestion but they prefer that to the cost of a longer season.Quote:

Would be surprised if it was 400 so 450 is way off the mark. As you said not good either way when other teams around us are drawing in700Quote:

She did well as Ireland were outplayed a bit in the central midfield area from early in the 2nd half, so supply wasn't the best. This was due to stronger physicality of the Germans and the wind I would say. They were very unlucky, and deserved a draw as all 3 goals they let in were in a sense avoidable and the keeper who looked so solid and got so close to saving the penalty was probably a bit disappointed with the last two. The 3 Galway girls did well also in case anyone was asking. But luck is very important, even when playing well.Quote:

Down 2,000 from their last home game, terrible from Cork ;)Quote:

The star gave 1,100 in Derry.
Well your club gave the 'way off the mark' 450 figure as the official attendance.Quote:
