2013 Attendances

[bullit]

Strange. Don't get me wrong 1500 is a lot compared to some, but 500 is a massive drop. Hopefully just an anomaly.

Well you've just wiped 66 off right there
There was about 25 Lims fans.

3,158 Sligo v Shels

ET estimated 2000, sums not a strong point over there.

[adamd164]

Great crowd for Sligo. That must be a decent fraction of the population of Sligo town.

[redarmyfaction]

About 1 in 6, though a few do travel from as far as West Port.

[Martinho II]

319 in Longford

embarassin shame on the ppl of longford who r more obsessed with paper talk than doin somethin about it.. a top of the table clash..

[Town Legend]

We'd only get a decent crowd if we were playing Man U's youth team every second weekend.

[redarmyfaction]

I think I seen a figure of 1500 but ET gave 2800 For the Trampcamp.

1800 in Tallaght according to The Star and a few on TrampTalk.

That's miles out to be honest. It was in around the 3,000 mark.

[CuanaD]

Limerick - 2,869 (734 FD; 569 FD; 598 FD; 429 FD; 517 FD; 670 FD; 364 FD; 669 FD)

Early days yet for Limerick of course, but I think the above shows the real power of quality facilities - two teams who added 2000 bums on seats per game, thanks to moving into quality facilities.

How many would Limerick have attacted to a standard LOI ground upon their return to the premier division after 20 odd years?

Well in excess of 2,000 I'd say.

The last time Limerick were in the premier division they had terrible crowds in a terrible ground ( Rathbane), there was bound to be a bump in their crowd on promotion after twenty years but I would very much doubt if they would have attracted 1,600-2,000 extra fans if they spent their first promoted season in Jackman.
As Shamrocks have shown, good facilities ( albeit someone elses facilities), novelty and some on field success draws the crowds in.
How to sustain those numbers when the novelty wears off and the success tapers off is going to be the challenge to both clubs.

[Charlie Darwin]

Considering their average attendance is up by about 2,100 so far this season, is your argument now that the facilities at Thomond are actively keeping people away from Limerick games and they'd be more comfortable in a field?

[Dodge]

Well in excess of 2,000 I'd say.

What exactly are you basing that opinion on though? They haven't played in the division in 20 years and tey were getting ****e crowds back then

They were getting 500 a game until th latters tages of last season. No other clubs have seen their crowds treble upon promotion

Are really comparing attendances in the first and premier divisions?

Have you watched a lot of first division football and followed a team around that graveyard for years?

Limerick have a good squad and there is a good buzz in the city towards the team they are building.

If you want to think their attendances are due to architecture spotters, fine.

[Jofspring]

Well there was two small buses and a few cars that went up. One bus had 21, the other around 15 but not exactly sure and I'd say another 15 or so driving. So on a guess i'd say between 40-50 of us.
