Was there not a match that was boycotted a while back. Before my time, but I think I remember hearing about it.
Surely last night's 42 at Mervue-Waterford must be an all-time record, or has a game ever been played behind closed doors?

We played Dundalk behind closed doors in the Foot-and-Mouth season
Similarly we played Drogheda behind closed doors during F+M season.

I was at a league cup game in Kilkenny once when there was some major hurling game on which seemed to have about 15 non-staff members there in the early 90s, though I don't recall an official attendance. I'd say that there were some dreadful low LC and Shield attendances over the year, so they should probably be discounted.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

In the Irish Lge, Newry had a crowd of 96 one Sat before xmas, this was for a IL Prem game and the joke at the time was there would have been more working in the Sainsburys store not far away from the ground.
Surely a record low for any european 'top flight' lge ?
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
This exact thread was done about six months ago by the way.
well then, as moderator, you should probably merge the two threads.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
The first ever competitive game at Strokestown Road (now Flancare Park) was a League Cup hame between between Longford and Galway United circa 1992. There were zero facilities. No dressing rooms. No boundry wall. No fence surrounding the pitch. No public address. No gate. No seats. No toilets, No nothing. Oh yeah, and a crowd of around 30 people. I took photos which I must dig out. Both teams togged out in the Longford Arms Hotel and retuned there afterwards for showers.
LTFC stayed in Abbeycarlton for another year AFAIR before moving permanently to where there is now a fine stadium.

Thanks for your concern, but I was merely pointing out that if the OP wanted a quicker answer to the question, he should be able to find it by searching here. Being helpful, not snotty, you know.
(I know for a fact that oriel's exact point was made before, perhaps even by him. The Boss pointed out some Greek attendances, and I queried whether the attendance and the round number were being mixed up)
I give you Cefn Druids in the 2009-10 Welsh Premier:
The case highlights the effect of two things;
1) Their proximity to the area's big club (Wrexham)
2) The imperialism of the Premier League upon the young minds of north Wales.
