780 at Kerry vs UCD - certainly a good sign that the attendances have been healthy so far, even at matches without much of an away following.
That's because of the big student away following that travelled to support UCD, I suspect! ?Quote:

Finn Harps v Longford - 1,004. About 25-30 Longford fans.
Disappointing crowd ,off the back of 2 wins,a new manager and decent weather I thought we might have got a few more than that……Quote:

Good weather is never good for crowds in Finn Park. Never will be.
We're the opposite of fair weather fans!

Is if just me or are there some disappointing crowds in there?, particularly some of the Premier Division ones. We’ve been hearing all about this new stand in Derry for ages and how it takes the capacity up loads and how every game last season was sold out at around 3,600, then it’s opened and there’s only 100 extra people in the ground? Cork with around 3,300 home fans is kind of expected with their ticket prices and form but even so it’s a little disappointing. Rovers crowd is below their average too
I don't think they permit full numbers into the new stand yet. Like most clubs when they are struggling their attendance will drop a fair bit anyway
Kerry attendance was undoubtedly disappointing, but presumably the unseasonably warm weather was a factor.Quote:

Nevertheless form is likely a factor.
Cork as stated, either need cheaper tickets or to be up near the top of the league. Either would result in those attendances being a good bit higher. If they were challenging for the title I'd expect the Cross to have 6,000+ at most games, even with the prices.
Shams is the real disappointment for me there. I didn't actually think they'd get an attendance that low on a Friday night this year. It's a great thing saying that, when it's still nearly 5,000 people.
However what it does show is how spoiled their fans have been the last few years. It's easy to have a buzz around the place and attract people when you're expecting to win every week.
They're very much going to be in the mix for the title, and as a result attendances will likely trend upwards as the season goes on and they pull themselves away from the mid table pack.
Tallahht must have felt empty last night however.
Leinster game didn’t help the Tallaght attendance last night, we have a lot of walk-up attendees due to large capacity so leaves us vulnerable to drop-offs in non-‘glamour’ games like last night. Still should be getting 5k plus though.
Dont think Nigel posted an uptodate set of attendance stats for this season yet, but aside from the distortion of the 35k at Aviva, we are probably on par with last season, with Cork higher than Dundalk, Shels and Pats higher, Derry and Drogs slighly higher, Rovers below the 6k average of last 2 seasons I'd say. Galway, Waterford, Bohs, Sligo I think are similar to last season.Quote:

Still a certain amount of support that’s fair weather enough . The team is not doing well , weather is bad , there’s some other event on etcQuote:

I arrived late due to work. I couldn't get parked, I said to myself jaysus must be 3k here. Walked in and knew it was a smaller crowd than earlier in the season. Does be like that in Longford at times too, people must drive a car, park it and go get another lolQuote:

Thanks Nigel, must be a fair bit of work, and appreciated as always.
Wonder is there an argument to only show Bohs 'Dalymount' attendances, they will argue though and will have a point its still their 'home' crowds.
Every single PD club showing increases, great to see.
8 of 10 FD clubs also but obv much much smaller base.
Irish League attendances for comparison.

Anyone know the attendacce at Sligo last night? Am curious to see if their bad form is starting to hit crowds yet.
Absolutely. Glenmuir,Quay Celtic and Bellurgan also in this and they're well supported sides in the context of nefl .Quote:

100 ? respect to those leagues,played in all but still think dundalk should have priority on every 2nd Friday .
Years back when I played wih one of those club mentioned at schoolboys, if games clashed with Oriel most went to Oriel and the teams struggled to ield a team. So pragmatically the club nd by extension league cleared the clashes. It was done back then as part of protesting on getting ome solidarity fee for players that stepped up tp play with Dundalk. It was eventually sorted so why is this this scheduling happening again? It a coupld of times a month not redoing a whole schedule. So who has had a hissy fit at something?
It was 2,700 odd, largest ever crowd from Galway about 350.Quote:

500ish fans travelled from Galway too.
There was 350, thirty out in the open and seating section fits 330.Quote:

Also for the FAI Cup quarter-final we knocked you out of in 2003, there was a decent GUFC crowd up for that if I remember correctly.
Galway have never filled the seated section before so I don't know what you are talking about. Even last season it was about half that and in previous seasons similar. I was at the cup game there was no segregation for that so hard to tell but no more than was there the other evening and no way was there 450 in the jinks seats Saturday night. When the away section is full including open section it fits 500. Derry had more when they were down and they didn't sell out their allocation.
I know a few lads who play with Glenmuir now in the NEFLQuote:

Can't really blame them for that. A good few of them would go to oriel regularly too when Glenmuir are not playing or have an away game
So then why is your SLO telling our SLO that we are close to selling our our allocation on Friday evening and issuing a low ticket warning to fans travelling? I was at that cup game too, there was of course segregation. We were given the old stand on the Jinx avenue side and it was very close to full while Sligo had the rest of the ground.Quote:
