They were overselling the jodi as well, some people who bought tickets on genral sale got an email the next day saying their tickets were cancelled.

2,807 at Richmond, decent but down 700 on the first day of last season, less away fans this time round and Cork are a bigger draw that Waterford but there just isn't the same buzz this season as there was at the start of last.
Next home game is Derry next Monday, probably already be a poor enough crowd at it.
Opening week:
Cork v Shels - 3,961
Bohs v Sh Rovers - 3,580
Dundalk v Derry - 3,156
St Pats v Waterford - 2,807
Harps v Sligo - 2,237
TOTAL: 15,741
Average: 3,148
In fairness there were a sizeable away crowd at the game on Friday.
Aside from that, comparing the off season last year with now. Last year Pats were tipped to finish third they had a couple of marquee signings that would have excited fans and they look as if they were going places. Looking at this year bar Benson Pats haven’t really signed anyone hugely exciting. Pats seem a bit under the radar compared with last year too, like us Pats seem a bit unknown
5,106 in Tallaght,
2,145 in Sligo,
3,010 in Tolka.
2,419 in Waterford.
Probably 3,500 or so in Derry? Hard to tell in there.
Come on now TT. glass houses old son.
BTW final figure from Shels guy tonight, 900 Dlk fans, but more impressive was the home support.
EDIT: Infact highly disrespectable, a lot of DFC fans (who would have been too young for FD days) this was their first visit to Tolka ever.
I always liked the ground, some great memories.
Most of the bar ones were probably Mark farren stand seats? Thought there were a good sized amount of seats empty there, but did notice a good few up in the bar area.
Were dotted seats all along the southend stand and probably 50-100 empty seats in the away area. Lot of Harps fans refusing to travel to Derry still, so pleasantly surprised to see a good crowd of Harps fans tonight.
Either way, was good to see a near full house for the derby.
