2013 Attendances

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Surely Waterford people come out to see their own team, not the opposition.

Well unless they're an English team (and every team in the league is the same)

[outspoken]

I'd guess around 300 in CCS tonight, the nice weather helps....funnily enough we'll have nearly as many in athlone next week

[NeverFeltBetter]

ET is saying only 208 showed up at the RSC tonight for Waterford/Salthill.

[Cuyahoga]

1,015 at Richmond Park this evening according to Extratime.ie

[avvenalaf]

2245 in Showgrounds.

[outspoken]

309 confirmed at CCS last night. Good guess

[nigel-harps1954]

432 in Finn Park. Dire crowd but weather didn't help, and those that stayed away will be glad they did after a terrible performance.

about 30 Athlone fans up.

[nigel-harps1954]

UCD v Bray - 228
Shels v Derry - 636
Mervue v Cobh - 181

[Dalymountrower]

Those attendance figures are just depressing.

[peadar1987]

228 for the UCD-Unknowns game? I'd say I've been to more games at the Bowl than 99% of UCD students, and I went to Trinity and no longer live in Ireland. Irish people!!

[Straightstory]

Yep attended all three in the Aviva. All three had better atmospheres than the FAI internationals.

Absolutely. I always go. Only drawback is it being in November - usually when it's freezing. Would get an even bigger attendance in May or June.

[razor]

1834 at the Cross yesterday, 300ish of which were from Dublin

[adamd164]

Watch out for our attendance next weekend v Drogs, who'll bring a fraction of that Rovers support.

It could be our lowest in quite some time for a league game.

[nigel-harps1954]

5 clubs recorded their worst attendance of the season over the weekend.

Out of 9 games, that's desperate, weather or not.

[outspoken]

Awful awful stuff, with the Premiership finished and the weather the way it is it really spells disaster for the league with figures like that. Got to ask yourself how far away the next club folding is with attendances as bad as that.

[BonnieShels]

5 clubs recorded their worst attendance of the season over the weekend.

Out of 9 games, that's desperate, weather or not.

It's incredible that in this country, good weather STOPS people going to football matches.

Have you ever smelt the Carlisle toilets when the temperature climbs above 15 degrees?!

[BonnieShels]

Have you ever smelt the Carlisle toilets when the temperature climbs above 15 degrees?!

I thought that that was the natural Bray smell.
