You can't beat a bandwagon but give it a few bad results next season and lets see where the avg settles. Its only really the last 8-10 games that have seen the results which led to a big jump in numbers, that game against harps was a bit of a turning point for both teams

Official attendance for that game was 467

Phew. For a minute there I thought you were going to have to increase your attendance fivefold but now you're only going to have to treble it. Should be easy

Regardless, personally delighted to see Athlone come up. My first game outside of Dublin was in St Mels so have a bit of a soft spot for them. Never been to Lissywoolen either

Well that was back in April. As you can clearly see our attendances have greatly improved since. Our attendance the other night was only 300 off the Premier Division champions elects highest attendance all season.

**Dodge** · 30/09/2013, 12:24 PM

Sure it was.

**Quayman** · 30/09/2013, 12:39 PM

Put it this way, can Athlone's stand accommodate around 1000 home fans and possibly 4-500 away fans to include an x amount of seats been taken away for segregation?

Stand holds 2024 along with 25 places in press box.

Pretty sure Pats highest was 3,313 in the league v Dundalk (20/09)

**ATFC-1887** · 30/09/2013, 3:52 PM

MY bad, but anyways considering there was about 20 Waterford fans for our game and there was 1100? Dundalk fans in Inchicore.

**oriel** · 30/09/2013, 3:57 PM

I think over 1,200 away tickets were sold for that game, possibly more attended but not recorded as may have paid into home section, but it still doesnt change the figure, Pats highest crowd remains 3,313, you cant 'allow' for away support, its still counted as a home attendance.

There`s going to be some competition on this site next year for the most tiresome set of posters on premier division attendance. Early overblown strides this season by Limerick gave way to grudging reality. Dundalk continue to canter on as outright winners this year but I reckon Athlone will give them a run for their money next season

Thanks for your contribution!

1'048 at Thomond tonight. A little bit on Rovers, not much, a few more attracted due to the win streak I guess.

Sorry for the delay folks, I'll have all of this updated before this weekends fixtures.
