For sure ? Would be good if so as I was a bit surprised to read 1,862 for the league leaders visit.
Looking at it on television I would say the smaller number is correct. There looked a very small crowd in the stand above the terrace facing the tv cameras.
Ah come on. It's impossible to judge the crowd that was there from the TV coverage last night.
Someone want to tell me were on earth the estimate of 357 people came from for last night's game at Fahy's Field. Unless they counted the children in the playground, nearby dog walkers and everyone on the astro it barely scrapped 100!

I was talking to the event control officer after the game and 1,862 is the correct attendance for Limerick vs SRFC.
In fairness there was more than 100 there, I'd say it was nearer the 200 mark tbh, maybe 50-70 from Longford!
Wasn't wrong was I, maybe you need a new telly.
Don't slap yourself on the back too hard. you had a 50/50 chance of being right.
Not really judged it from previous shots of that stand from Mns and their official attendances reported on here and it looked very sparse. The match on telly, the earlier kick off time, their recent form plus the novelty of Thomond park starting to wear off possibly didn't help the attendance.
457 official...
Also 205 in Ferrycarraig Park for Wexford v Harps.
15 Harps fans made the 550 mile round trip.

I was at Thomond and 1862 seems on the high side, I would have said 1200.
Was talking to a few lads who were at it they said no more than 200 there with over half from Longford.
For me, Bohs are the stand out figure in this week crowd figures, second last in the league but with an avg 1,654 which is almost exactly what the PD avg is.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
Bohs at their highest since they were last competitive is impressive but not really surprising considering they're starting to play some good football with some exciting young players. Shels are holding up surprisingly well given their performance this year.
I'd say the most striking figures are Wicklow Club (I assume we're not allowed ask why their attendances have continued to tank) and Cork's down 20% and back to their FD average.
I genuinely thought you were talking about Rovers as the Wicklow club there for a moment.
I'd say as many Pats fans as Bohs fans there on Friday btw. You can see from the celebrations for this goal that plenty in the Jodi as well as the Des Kelly. Well less than 1,000 home fans anyway

the Bohs average is artificially high due to the attendance at the Rovers game early in the season. We are averaging around 1000-1100 at most games.
I would doubt that facts would support the assertion that there was as many Pats fans in Dalyer - that video supporting this shows nothing other than a handful of Pats in A&B and a close up of some Pats fans in the shed. It also doesnt show F&G which are always the most populated areas of the ground for Bohs fans.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Pretty impressive if over two thirds of Pats home support travelled to Dalymount!
Best Pats crowd in D7 for a long time, about 600 at most, biggest Bohs crowd sice the home match v Rovers and a good few neutrals.Don't know what the official attendance was, looked like 1800 in jodi and 300 pats in Shed
