Speaking purely from a Harps point of view, as I know Dublin clubs see a rise in foreign visitors during the summer months, our attendances suffer terribly during the summer. There's a marked decrease in our figures from June through to August. Some of that can be put down to mid-season lull, but the neutral will generally prefer to spend their summer days on the beach, or having a barbeque with the family, or in the beer garden with the lads, rather than going to a football match, from my own experiences in trying to convince people to go to games.
