Attendances 2023

[Jamesie]

It's not a huge deal. Man U shipped 7 last week after all. If they can get some results and score goals, it'll be worth going to of a Friday.

[nigel-harps1954]

FAI Connect app usually on the ball with attendance figures since the restart, but very little updates from there this weekend. Pity, going to be back to the bad old days of chasing up people via email and social media soon..

[pineapple stu]

Haven't seen anything from the Bowl, but and estimate would be 550-600.

Thought it was more than the Derry game, but not much, and certainly smaller than Sligo. Probably didn't help the game didn't get the go ahead until after 5pm.

Shels vs Rovers 4,140 appears to have been added late to FAI Connect so fingers crossed for the rest. But aside from that as you mentioned there’s currently no other Premier attendances revealed aside from the 5,002 at Pats vs Bohs

[oriel]

That seems a very high crowd for Pats (5,002), granted must have been 1,500 or so Bohs but still seems very high.

Did Pats get over 5k last season, also what is the capacity these days?

1,150 Bohs which is the capacity of the away end. Capacity is a couple of hundred over 5000 which has been reached a number of times over the last few years.

The game was sold out on Friday but naturally with all grounds, there’s always a number of people with tickets that don’t attend and aren’t included in the attendance of course

Extratime.com have official attendance figures for all the games this weekend.

Not sure why they're not updated on the FAI Connect App

Some disappointing drops in the 1st division in attendance this week. Expected Galway and Bray to pull in more.

https://www.extratime.com/articles/3...23-gameweek-5/

Updated since on FAI Connect. The only difference is Extratime figure of 4,371 not matching FAI Connect 4,140.

Funnily enough, same article gives 4,250 for the Shels v Drogheda game, but FAI Connect gives 4,140 again.

Thats v impressive then by Pats, and more so given recent results.

[oriel]

Thanks Nigel for keeping this going. Some big crowds there right across the board.

The 4 Dublin clubs removing UCD have an avg of 4,747, add back UCD and its 3900. Pats / Bohs / Shels all showing big increases.

Dundalk with 3,132 is a little under the PD avg, but it just shows the surge in the PD, and its great to see but I wouldn't be counting on our crowds to push the PD avg up, around the 3k mark will be our lot come end of season, if we can maintain that well and good.

[outspoken]

Some disappointing drops in the 1st division in attendance this week. Expected Galway and Bray to pull in more.

Only thing is it was absolutely Baltic on Friday

[FTA-1895]

Funnily enough, same article gives 4,250 for the Shels v Drogheda game, but FAI Connect gives 4,140 again.

Article gives a figure of 3,424 for Shels v Drogs which is about right. The 4,250 refers to the Bohs game.

[joey B]

I’ve seen 3 different figures for Finn park on Friday night now,1501,1401 and the Connect app has 1316! Nearly sure I heard 1401 on the night but who knows….,

Yes, sorry my mistake.

No idea where the 1,316 has come from. 1,401 was announced in Finn Park during the game and the figure that came from ticket scanners.

Anyone willing to plot end of season averages and seasons high on a line graph showing the rate of improvement over a decade or so. Maybe could be generated from each club from excel?

Anyone willing to plot end of season averages and seasons high on a line graph showing the rate of improvement over a decade or so. Maybe could be generated from each club from excel?

Could probably do this. One of two of my years of spreadsheets disappeared though. But could probably throw something together with whatever I have left.
