Attendances 2023

[JC_GUFC]

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?

I had this done - or at least started and for some reason I'm getting an error saying my file isn't a valid image file so I can't upload it.

If anyone here knows anything about computers maybe I'm doing something wrong... I saved as a .png first and then a .jpg when that didn't work. File is only 34kb so doubt it's the size.

How close to 1 million combined attendance do people think we'll get? I reckon it will be close but might fall just short. If we continue at the same rate we're set for ~918k.

Attendances tend to dip in the summer but at the same time there is going to be another stand put into Tallaght in August which you'd hope would help balance that out.

If there's a Dublin derby in the cup final I reckon it'll be as good as a sell out. Add in the other cup games and it'll be very close.

I hope to be proven wrong, but I don't think we'll get up to 1million attendance this year. That would require an almost exactly 50% increase on the 2022 attendance - and whilst crowds are definitely up across the board, I don't see anywhere where they're up by anythign like that much (or at least , not anywhere where they're of a size that'll make a difference). a lot of clubs are at or close to capacity in their attendances so far - particularly clubs that are doing well on the pitch, such as Bohs and Derry. You can't have 50% growth in crowds at stadia which won't accommodate it. Rovers' new stand will help the aggregate attendances, as will the introduction of Kerry, but not enough to make a big difference (especially if Rovers continue to struggle on the pitch). The big queston re the new stand at Talaght is - will Stephen Bradley still be around to see it officially opened ?

The addition of Kerry brings an extra 36 games to the equation, compared to 2022 figures, with the First Division back to 36 games too. If Kerry can average near 1,000 for the season, that should bring us up to 700k total, with last seasons total figure.

Not beyond the realms of possibility we get to 850k this year, but more likely to balance out to 750k or thereabouts once the league settles in and crowds inevitably dip through the summer.

Even at that, it's double the total amount we were at as little at 5 years ago.

The close to a million forecast was a combination of League, Cups and European competitions for both men and women’s football.

I remember a few posters talking about this last year on some thread. Think the view was that traffic had increased on the site. I’m 20 years on foot.ie and it is still going strong.

Judging by the amount of new threads in this forum I think there is more interest here than last season!

I'd guess that the thankful demise of Cork and Dundalk fans bickering constantly about absolutely everything on here led to an increase in traffic on the site

I think the same can be said of a few Dublin clubs!

Pretty sure Oriel is 600, 500 in away end 100 in stand

That's what Pats had I'm pretty sure

[dundalkfc10]

Big crowd in Oriel for a Leinster Senior Cup Game, I'd say in and around 1000
