Cork City vs St Pats - 5,322
UCD vs Bohs - 885
Can't find any other official figures so far.
I thought ours was closer to 6,000 because three sides were full and there was people standing at the St Anne's End.

1,307 in Thomond Park according to extratime. I thought they announced 1,207 myself. Not great either way.
2,418 in Terryland
Wow, that's a fantastic attendance at TC.
The only seats that weren't full were the 2 blocked off blocks in st Anne's end. 500 per block = 1000. 7450 - 1000 = 6450, but the sides were full of people standing. It had to have been more.Quote:

we brought a few hundred down to terryland tonight.. we had a 52 seater practically full!
Yeah, and there was the ticketing initiative to schools in Limerick too for it this time last year.Quote:

Don't know if I had an expectation. Its an interesting barometer though, attendances generally declined last year from the opening 4k, didn't they ? To about tonight's number by the end, is that fair to say ?Quote:

Yep thats is spot on id say.Quote:

The lack of advertising as Acornvilla has said is ridiculous not a thing at all said until the week of the game and even then it was only on facebook and twitter.
100-120 imo.Quote:

Handful of Derry fans down in Finn Park too.
The thought occurs that this may well prove higher than Salthill's total 2013 attendance (unless the average was >170). Edit: thanks to Nigel's encyclopaedic 2013 thread, I see it was 113, which by 14 would only reach 1,582.Quote:

Salthills entire season attendance, from my records, are 1,575 for 2013. Mervue was 3,625.Quote:

Attendance Drogs v Dundalk 2,007.
Drogs one won't be confirmed, they where writing up tickets when I was going in, mine was a written one just saying 15 euro on it and paid.
Could be a good sign if just slightly old fashioned, a bigger crowd turned up than the Drogheda board expected. Soon it'll be no expense spared!
It was a good crowd at Galway last night, and fair play to the 50+ Longford fans who did not stop singing all game. However last night was a special case and it will be say 4 home matches before the support base for the club can be established. There was a lot of positives about last night, but one sign that might give cause for concern was the large numbers that started leaving 15min from end (just like over at Old Trafford).
Jesus, that's 20% down on last season's average.Quote:

It was God-awful stuff last night, between the bobbleball and the officials.
I think it's being very optmistic if you think the first-day attendance is going to be your average.Quote:

Getting caught in traffic could add up to an hour to their journey home, which is nightmarish when the car is full of tired kids.Quote:

Cork's scanned tickets mean they have the official attendance. There were a good few seats in the small stand near the away section and St Anne's End. 5,300 is still a brilliant crowdQuote:

Any attendance given at The Showgrounds?
I see just over 2600 mentioned on their twitter
400 plus from Athlone there
Drogs on Facebook page saying gate was 2007
That's a great crowd in Galway.Quote:
