We have our first official stat for 2024, with 1,077 recorded at the RSC tonight for Waterford v Douglas Hall.
That’s some crowd for the 12th of January….
Certainly is. A sign of the times for sure.Quote:

Carrigaline vs Treaty United was pretty much sold out. They stopped letting people in after kick-off saying there was no room.
No exact figure, but the Kerryman informs us that "about 400" were at Mounthawk Park last night:

400 is an impressive attendance for an early January run out. The MSC quarter-final in MH Park will probably be on the Friday of the February Bank Holiday weekend.
448 attendance was announce at Athlone-Pats on Saturday. That was my first time in Athlone since a pre-season friendly in 2020 which must’ve had about 70 people at it
Athlones crowds increased massively last season, went from around 300 to 850 on average. Not sure why, I think a lot of their supporters are still boycotting the club.
Presumably much like every other team, crowds will rally if there's a significant improvement on the previous season.
Season tickets weren't scanning so no accurate figure, but around 700-800 in Finn Park today for Harps v Derry friendly.
About 3/400 standing around the pitch I'd say, with over a half supporting Treaty.Quote:

They are unlikely to get more fans in cold weather. Maybe when it gets warmer, more people will come to matches.Quote:

Was surprised that neither of the Lowths wound up with Kerry FC, unless they couldn't commit.Quote:

Pats have sold out the allocation given and are looking at getting an extension to itQuote:

The initial allocation was 1,800, pats have now got an additional 500 tickets that when sold will take it up to an away crowd of 2,300Quote:

North Stand is restricted to 500 as a test run so if Pats have the whole east stand that means capacity is 8500 and rovers would have to sell 6200 tickets as season tickets don't count. Can't see it selling out tbh. Great crowd from PatsQuote:

Should be a good game.
Apparently restricted to 500 for pats 1500 for dundalk and then fully open for next match.
Will they have more away fans in the east stand now or are staying the same? Probably only relevant for Pats and Bohs and maybe Shels …..Quote:

id expect that Rovers will allow the whole East Stand which is 2500 seats for away fans if the demand is there with the exception of Bohs where the Guards would definitly not let it happen.
There is no recent history of any hassle between teams that would stop us taking the ticket sales and cash.
Even at that it would leave 7500 for Rovers fans which would be more than attended any game last year
I'm a bit disappointed that away fans won't be behind the goal.
And I know it's only the second proper four-sided ground in the league and I'm complaining!
6000 tickets sold so far. Pats 2500 sold out.
No chance we’re gonna let any away team have a whole standQuote:

Is the Presidents cup a 50 50 split allocation on attendance. I know is usually a home game for one of the teams but it is more like a neutral game.

Looking forward to an unbelievable atmosphere next Friday
No it’s not. Never has been in any venue it’s been in either. I think the only realistic times you’d see a potential demand for anything close to 50% away allocation for the presidents cup would be any combination of pats/rovers/bohsQuote:
