Extratime.ie do a weekly report. I think that's about the only other source. http://www.extratime.ie/news/15/
I gathered the attendances since 2012 I think.
Bit short on time but I'll pull something together this weekend if people want it. Thought appetite was gone for it to be honest.
I think it was this thread that a few websites took their attendances reporting from too. It's always interesting to see how things are going and if there are any trends. I'm sure there is plenty of effort that goes in to it and probably very frustrating if numbers arent released by clubs. Always a source of debate and shows where people can overestimate crowds. Ive often taken to do a head count especially on the away terrace in Oriel. An initial impression is usually higher than a rough headcount which is why Ive tended to take crowds in Oriel to be closer to the official announced numbers than the often 'there was more than 2000 at x game. It wouldnt surprise me if the FAI took figures from here too to claim improving trends. A lot of people appreciate the effort Nigel and not just those of us who post here imo!
I know some Limerick fans have made the point already, but I think 600 more realistic for crowd at Eamon Deacy ParK the other night. Now if season tickets are included, official figure makes sense.
Interesting will all the publicity this well will increase the crowds going to LoI matches?
585 in Limerick
688 in Finn Park welcome to the fair weather Donegal sporting public!
2,406 in the Cross.
The lowest yet this season, but not for long!
2800 at tallaght, very surprised at that, looked more than the UCD game to me, good support from Waterford 150 plus
Decent crowd when you were competing against a football occasion in the Aviva, hevily promoted by our national broadcaster and our national organisation responsible for the league.
It was a benefit event for someone who was seriously injured
Yes,fully aware of the worthiness.Just commenting on the fact that the timing was approved by the, FAI directly on a full league match night
For example,Liam Miller's went ahead on a non match night, and the FAI has vetoed any number of proposed friendlies on the grounds that they clashed with competitive fixtures
Anyway , money raised and precedent established, all good.
Could have playen on a saturday or sunday?..?? Daaaaa
Same here, this is always my favorite thread - hoping Nigel can keep up the good work for many more seasons.
As far as other sources, if you are on instagram, @loimedia posts comprehensive weekly details on attendances -- worth a look IMO. I've been tracking these this season and have a chart of the season so far, I'll try to post it when I'm back in work next week
670 in Terryland last night, according to Twitter. Bottom of the 1st Division now too.
The Leinster game is at 3pm today, so if clashing with that was such a big concern it could have been played afterwards.
Though surely the primary aim should have been to avoid a clash with fixtures in the same sport, before worrying about a completely different game. I doubt there would've been a huge overlap in attendance between the charity game and the Leinster match anyway.
Possibly the only positive about this season has been our home attendances. Five home losses out of five and we're still getting very respectable attendances considering how poor we have and how grim this season has been. Rock bottom of the First Division - grim.
2,174 Shelbourne
1,216 Bray
803 Drogheda
712 Limerick
670 Cobh
Absolutely. I am amazed that they haven't fallen by more and the patience our supporters have shown so far.
You can't expect supporters to just show up every week when you're losing constantly and playing poorly. It's entertainment at the end of the day. Last night was a particularly demoralising loss.
That's true. Very patient supporters, but clearly a downward trend. Just thinking today about the 2,800 or so that were there when Dundalk were beaten off the back of beating BATE a few days earlier. Good times. Was only 3 years ago but feels a long long time ago now.
Under 600 in Longford tonight, disappointed as last two home games were over 700
1748 in the Showgs according to ET, didn't hear it announced but it is line with my estimate. Not bad seeing we lost 4 on the bounce and it was a dreaded Fri/Monday weekend.
2748 Dundalk v Bohs.
Decent crowd up from bohs on a poor night,weather wise to be standing on that away terrace.
Plenty of action to keep both set of fans warm.
429 at UCD v Cork
523 according to the LL. ( https://twitter.com/Longford_Leader/...59851589799937 )
Sligo Rovers 0 Waterford 0
Official attendance is 1,528 according to Sligo Rovers FC Twitter
Great Monday night attendance!
Well done to all that attendance especially the travelling Bohs fans for a Monday night with all the weather conditions.
Hope the FAI Bigwigs take note that the "Problem Child" is the fans game and well worth promoting to its maximum!
Anyone at the Pat's game last night, who could offer an estimate!
Great crowd at Oriel in what was an awful night. Less said about the 'away' section probably the best but even many home fans will have been soaked in what was a baaaaaaad night. I presume its the AGS morons but keeping 'away' fans for 20 minutes after FT in the pouring rain is an absolute disgrace.The fact that most fans of both clubs mingle outside before and after only highlights how ridiculous it is.
Hopefully the fixture pile up wont hinder the increase in crowds this year across the league, there may be hope for the LOI yet !
They kept the Bohs fans and officials who were put in the caged area in the most expensive stand in the league, behind too.Meanwhile, the 30/40 fans who opted to sit outside that area, were free to toddle off at full time and have a friendly drink and chat with Dundalk fans at half time.
They did the same when Longford played their in 2015, even tho we were free to use the bar at HT. The security and Gardai up there really are idiots
20 minutes? Ffs like, its a little more than the 'several minutes' that Mickey Duffy announcement suggests. It doesnt make a whole lot of sense considering the way fans mix before the game. I can only presume that they thought emotions might have been running a bit high after the late penalty and kept Bohs fans back longer than usual. Its a shame that it has to happen at all but then the criticism there would be if there was any incident outside the ground would be severe, so damned if you do and damned if you dont. Quick fix needed like a nice new council built ground lol.
To be fair, it's probably just the Gards at most football matches in Ireland go out expecting trouble. Said it before but what Bohs have to put up with from AGS is way worse than we do in Tallaght, and there's no more trouble there than here, which is to say **** all.
