Incidently, the Irish league Premier Crowds are up this season, it'll be interesting to see what the end result will be.
On a side note, there's no point in comparing the LOI & IL as like for like as one country is 3 times the size of the other. It's like comparing Scotland to England. It's a futile comparison and the bigger country should always have the larger averages.
The Hallion Battalion Molests football.:D
I really can't see how the ROI would have many different factors to NI considering nearly half of NI have the same cultural identity as the rest of people in NI. The only factor that we have up here that wouldn't be an issue down South is the marching season & even then that only has a limited effect as on the start and tail end of the marching season coincides with the Irish league.

The parade on Rossnowlagh Strand dents Finn Harps' (and Sligo's apparently) attendances big time (closest to an orange I could find, sorry)
Harps - Mervue att of 402. God damn parade's on the 12th of July effecting our attendance's in October.
"The players are babies now," he said. "In my day you had to hit someone with a hatchet before a referee booked you. It's a different game now."
Fergie in todays Indo.
Maybe thats why attendances are nothing like they were in the 60's.!!!
1462 at the RSC last night.
Good to see they're still out there, and on a bad night with CL on as well.
Now if only we could have a play-off every week (yes, yes, we might win one at some point, very droll...)
more bass
There was easily 4250 at the last Rovers Fingal game
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
I was across the water and as I was there, went to a game across the water as well, being a fan of football and all that.
In terms of being a paying punter, unless you are looking for premium level, from a facilities point of view as long as there are stands like the Tallaght stadium, it's a good start for all supporters going to games. In terms of going to a match, it's not much different than from being in the Aviva, Croke Park or Thomond Park either. You get you're seat and a good view of the game. You can get you're grub before and during half-time of the game.
Will play-off attendances be included in final round up ?
Probably 1300-1400 in the Carlisle tonight. I reckon losing to Galway was just Bray's way of snaring the money from an extra home game! I was never worried!
The amount of people who point at figures and randomly pin it on one factor over all others is quite annoying. Any number of things can be part of the cause.
I could say the same for people calling for the return of winter football, as if summer soccer is in some way obviously the cause of everything wrong with the league.
Spot on gufcfan. Similarly as there isn't one problem, there isn't one solution either (league size, season, etc etc)

I had a look on the excellent website http://www.carlingpremiership.com/ today, I like the way they give exact attendances for every game, (only one had n.a), but I noticed the average for the last w/e in Dec was 800 and for the first round in Jan it was down to 600, one of the 'na' was for Glentoran, and Linfield were the only side with a crowd in 4 figures (1,500), so I was wondering is this a seasonal adjustment downwards ? or is 700 the revised average for the IL Prem ? Seems quite low.
