Attendances 2014

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Looked empty at the start over your side but it did fill up a good bit. Say we had 300 as has been said. We should be taking alot more than that, but people seem to be picking and choosing games and id say the majority are waiting for Thursday (had 2 fellas onto me yesterday who have not been in Oriel in years, ask me to get them tickets, swiftly got a **** off, were told we can fill the 3300 with fans who actually want to support Dundalk and not because some "big" European team are playing)

And people think LOI supporters give barstoolers a hard time......

Id prefer to see someone who goes to Oriel occasionally get a ticket before someone who would turn off the TV if Dundalk were playing on it

2616 at the cross tonight

[Pablo Escobar]

2616 at the cross tonight

Surely it was 3,600?

Thought was more around 3 thousand myself but that's the figure the club gave

[nigel-harps1954]

Thought it looked like a fairly large attendance on TV alright, but one can never really judge by that.

2615 CCFC fans.
Fair play to the lonely UCD fan.

"you've got more flags than fans" not very often ya get to pull that chant out

[outspoken]

Shocking attendance in cobh last night probably just about 200 there, it's a hard ground to judge as support is very spread out.

[Terry]

would you be expecting more, from a club that is struggling at the bottom of the first division? Its not as if longford is doing much better considering where they are in the league in comparison?

Their average gate this season is 225 according to Nigels numbers, shocking indeed..

Re town support, ours is always cat. Figures are marginally better than our past 4/5 years or so, and will probably even out about the 5/600 mark if we keep pushing on. Longford loves a good bandwagon!

[nigel-harps1954]

Harps v Galway was 411.

When Cobh were last in the PD in 2007 they often drew over 1,000 to home games. Which is not so bad given Cobh town has about 10,000 people living in it.

Would they attract crowds from outside of Cobh?

I know here in Dundalk, we have a good following from Ardee, Dunleer (both of these have Drogheda Utd support too) Castleblayney, Newry etc....

A bit rich for you to call Cobh's crowds shocking when there was scarcely 300 people at Flancare for our game against you when you were 2nd or 3rd in the League and 70 or 80 of those were from Galway.

'Shocking' is not meant as a slur, both were shocking, most of the league's attendance figures are shocking. In future Outspoken use a phrase like 'more/less worse than ours' or something so that the likes of Olander doesnt see insult in a perfectly true observation that is not rooted in oneupmanship....I mean how dare you like....

Outspoken's smug spokeman has arrived it seems.

Stating the obvious, as you seem to enjoy doing, yes crowds in the LOI are poor Well spotted.

Instead of just stating the attendance as 99% of people do in this thread, he felt the need to add "shocking" when the attendances his own club attracts for a team that are walking the League is embarrassing at times. I myself wouldn't call Cobh's attendances shocking by any means, they get around the 300 mark at most of their games and they have only one win all season. Perspective and all that.

its just that some people are more easily shocked then others are.

1597 in Oriel tonight

17 Away fans (fair play to them)

[oriel]

This (1,597) was Dundalk's lowest crowd of the season. Atmosphere was just non existent.
