Shels ultras are usually behind the goal for womens games. It's not segregated so you can go wherever.

Believe Longford v Harps attendance was 608. Given how cold it was and the rugby, Paddy's weekend, people broke after Cheltenham etc that's not bad. Won't be 100 at our games soon the way we are playing
Fair play to them for going. Looked a decent crowd in main stand at itQuote:

604 given on FAI connect. Longford is a hard place to read a crowd but a few of us who'd have been down in Longford a good few times all said it was one of the lowest crowds we'd seen there. Didn't feel like more than 400 but that main stand is a bit deceptive too.Quote:

Obviously they’ve had a good start to the season but it would be great if they could average 1k for the season.
While watching the game I was actually thinking that if the backers decide they can’t afford it anymore would Longford be able to attract new investment or could they drop out of the league?Quote:

Kerry v Treaty was a very enjoyable game. The Athlone tickets should have gone on sale the week after. The next home game tickets should always go on sale at the start of the next week.Quote:

How close to 1 million combined attendance do people think we'll get? I reckon it will be close but might fall just short. If we continue at the same rate we're set for ~918k.
Attendances tend to dip in the summer but at the same time there is going to be another stand put into Tallaght in August which you'd hope would help balance that out.
If there's a Dublin derby in the cup final I reckon it'll be as good as a sell out. Add in the other cup games and it'll be very close.
Is the new stand in Tallaght going to be used for big away crowds when it’s open or are they just keeping them where they are now?
Stadium capacities around the country will probably hinder it.Quote:

I'm open to being corrected but I don't believe the intention is to house away fans in the North stand when it opens, but instead will leave them where they are currently, and the North stand would only initially open up as overflow for the bigger games. It's construction is as much to do with future Ireland underage/women's games held there as any need for increased Rovers/LOI European games.
It would probably be more disappointing to see a closed off stand. Even a small scattering of fans through it would look much better than a big empty stand.Quote:

I hope to be proven wrong, but I don't think we'll get up to 1million attendance this year. That would require an almost exactly 50% increase on the 2022 attendance - and whilst crowds are definitely up across the board, I don't see anywhere where they're up by anythign like that much (or at least , not anywhere where they're of a size that'll make a difference). a lot of clubs are at or close to capacity in their attendances so far - particularly clubs that are doing well on the pitch, such as Bohs and Derry. You can't have 50% growth in crowds at stadia which won't accommodate it. Rovers' new stand will help the aggregate attendances, as will the introduction of Kerry, but not enough to make a big difference (especially if Rovers continue to struggle on the pitch). The big queston re the new stand at Talaght is - will Stephen Bradley still be around to see it officially opened ? :eek:Quote:

Not beyond the realms of possibility we get to 850k this year, but more likely to balance out to 750k or thereabouts once the league settles in and crowds inevitably dip through the summer.
Even at that, it's double the total amount we were at as little at 5 years ago.
The close to a million forecast was a combination of League, Cups and European competitions for both men and women’s football.Quote:
