Made my first visit to the Markets Field last evening and have to say there was a very positive and welcoming vibe around the place. Team winning big contributes to this of course, but they are doing a lot right. Impressed with the scoreboard (wished they fixed the one in Terryland), and the number of fans wearing their teams colours. Also good percentage of young people in crowd. I bought a terrace ticket at 12euro as it was a fine evening but I was wondering do you get tea and sandwich in the corporate section? Tickets for it was 20 each.

Ya in the corporate you get tea/coffee and sandwiches at half time, a reserved seat outside the room and use of the room as well. I think they should push it a little more and change the name from corporate to something else. For a fiver extra it's good value.Originally Posted by wonder88

I'd say Derry-Galway was closer to 2,200, but 1,500 would likely be the official number.
Looking forward to Limerick coming back up next season, other stewards/ ground security could learn a lot from their Limerick counterparts, always courteous and respectful to away fans.
732 at Harps v Cockhill in the EA Sports Cup.

Wow we can't get that for a league game. I give up.
Sure you had 700 at the game on Saturday...
No we pretended to have that Saturday.
I was wondering where the lad who tallied Mervue's attendances had got to. Fine job.
Pats v Dundalk, 2,150 with a decent away support.
Great option to be able to go the stand for the second half if you want, hadn't been to that part of the ground in years. Decent view.
Why don't Pats open the shed end fully behind the goal for the away fans?
Just a note of thanks to the very polite female steward who went back and got my programme for me, I'd left it on a spare seat, and couldn't get back in as fans were queuing to get out. Very decent of her.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Thought there was more than that tbh. The main stand was around 90% full that holds around 1800. There was around 300 Dundalk fans in the shed and another 300 in the Camac. There was a decent crowd in the satnd behind the goal also I thought but it was hard to judge because I was in it.
Not entirely sure why the shed is half closed probably something to do with stewarding and it could be that less stewards are needed than when it is full opened but that just a guess.
I presume UCD - Waterford official figure was 252 as it was given in a local paper down here.
Galway -v- Bohs 1170
Awful conditions in addition to the unusual 2pm kick off time on a Saturday with Connacht -v- Leinster a sell out in the Sportsground at 5.15 didn't help things. Hopefully there'll be a few more hundred back in the gate for the visit of Finn Harps in two weeks time.

I'd fear for attendances tonight.
For us, the weather is shocking and Donegal are in Croker playing Dublin in the bogball. Be lucky to hit around the 1000 mark I'd say.
Decent, all things considering.
From Extratime;
Shels -v- Drogheda 626
Cabo -v- Waterford 391
Wexford -v- Derry 544
Bray -v- Sligo 600 estimate
Harps v Longford - 739

Shocking attendances on Saturday night.
Looks like Thursday was the better option.
