There was 330 at Salthil v Athlone
1400's too high for Drogheda v UCD. Everyone on here who was at the game seems agreed on roughly 1000.
Don't see why we can't take Pat's v Galway as 1558 official; too random a number to make up.
I'll post a first proper update later when I get the comparative figures together off last year's thread.
There was 330 at Salthil v Athlone
The Pats figure isn't official. No idea how they picked that figure at random. The estimates here are about right.
54,321 sold - wws will never die - ***

The official figure from Richmond seems to me to be more accurate than some of the guesses here. It was one of the lower attendances I've seen there for a match involving Galway United.
Around 200 tonight at the Shelbourne V Sporting Fingal friendly benefit match.
So, basically, in the 1st weekend about 10500 attended PremDiv & about 5500 went to Div1 games
16000ish all together.
Obv the 1st div is going to be higher than usual this year (a good thing IMO), but how does that total of 16k compare with last year's 1st weekend?
OK, I went & checked for myself - 2009 1st weekend approx figures:
Prem: 14,700
D1: 3,520
Total: 18,220
Can't draw any conclusions from that yet

Figures in bold are mainly or wholly official; figures in normal type are mainly or wholly guesstimates.
Pat's site has updated for the entire of last season - average of 1631 compared to 1721 on here - so I'll go with 1700 for the Galway game for the moment and keep an eye on the Pat's site for an update.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I think pretty graphically, so I made this.
That has to be one of the funniest things ever. A graph! On a football forum. I love you John!
Any chance of changing the thread title? Im a bit of a traditionalist and the records part at the end just annoys me.
It's the little things ya know.
