2012 attendances

[nigel-harps1954]

As it stands, 11 of the clubs have seen a rise in average attendances from last season, albeit in some cases, very marginal.

And we were lucky to get it, schools only just gone back and trying to get parents to bring kids on a school night just aint ever gonna happen.

1,057 announced as the attendance in Tolka, seemed a bit high. More Pats fans than Shels fans.

[Sean South]

530 Shels 527 Pats reported

Laughable. No more than 700 at the game I'd have thought

Shels crowd as teams came out. About 40/50 came out of bars after this

And a mere 25 days to our next home game.

25 days coming to the end of the season is absolutely screaming mismanagement in my book. We weren't far off that kind of gap between home games when the Euros were on. The FAI haven't a leg to stand on.

Drogs v Derry 486. I wonder was there ever a lower league crowd for a side in 2nd place & with a reasonable chance of finishing runners up ?

Athlone Town vs Wexford Youths 120 (official)

Official Youths twitter doing its best to hype up "race for fourth". Fans voting with their feet it seems.

I'm not sure if we would have got over 2,000 if this was a home game (bottom of league, havent won at home for months), but I recall a QF match away to Finn Harps in 2002, there was just under 5,000 at it. I know Season tickets are not valid for cup games, but I cant help thinking the crowds at this seasons matches have been most disappointing all over the country.

Hopefully these will improve for the semi's, and the final.

Maybe it's because I'm a Galway United fan but this has been one of the worst League of Ireland seasons I remember, the title race has been non-existant, the relegation battle was gone once Monaghan pulled out. The First Division was always going to be a 3-horse race with Limerick coming out on top.
As a neutral there hasn't really been anything to get excited about - the cup should be different but I guess the general apathy has taken over.

In fairness, it was Finn Harps after all. Always bring out the sunshine supporters.

It's definitely just because you're a Galway fan.

I find this season very intriguing, it's not been of the highest standard, but the run in for the Premier is going to get very interesting yet. The run in for the First division is very tight too, don't expect Limerick to run away with anything.

And Dundalk aren't totally gone yet, at least they're better to watch than Galway last season.

Well nuetrals never account for any real percentage of the crowd so thdon't think thats it.

Nobody cares about the FA Cup anymore.

I actually reckon this has a large bearing on the fact nobody cares about the FAI Cup anymore.

Monkey see, monkey do.
