LOI Attendances 2016

**outspoken** · 30/05/2016, 11:21 PM

No figure given for our game yesterday, if I was to guess I'd say 550-600 but could be way over estimating that, pure guess to be honest. Around 120-150 from Cork id say.

I'm sure some people remember how worried I was about certain clubs' attendances a few years ago, but really, I don't know if we can really read too much into the public figures given from a Health and Safety perspective.

What the club write on the official attendance sheet sent to the FAI in the following days is the actual "official" figure. I'd wager that these don't match up with what is announced publicly in many cases.

Cork v Dundalk hope to attract at least 5,000 for Friday 3/5/2015 top of the table clash.

And some things that are going to affect the games attendance,

Bank Holiday weekend always affects attendance,
FAI & Press more interested in International team based in Cork,
Poor advertisement,
Warm weather attractions,
Live on Setanta TV,
Avondale v UCC MSL league deciding clash on same night at 7pm will take potential floating soccer fans away,
Cork floating fan not attracted by Cork style,
A Cork win will still leave Dundalk on top by a point.

I'd have a stab at 1,500 at the Derry-Bray game. ET have it as 1k, but it was certainly more than that.

We counted goals scored too, so that plumped up the figures.
The Bohs figures are for bodies through the turnstiles/gates. 1500 or so looked about right.Terrible crowd for a game v Pats.

A rather disappointing figure of 1,671 in Finn Park for Harps v Sligo. Looked a lot more. Good crowd up from Sligo of around 400.

Handiest 3 points ye'll get all season

Sligo were pretty brutal all night. They're good at passing the ball sideways and backwards though.

It was a much more positive Harps performance though. Great to see us actually go out and attack a team. We probably should have scored another two at least.

821 the official figure at Ferrycarrig tonight.

Must be an SRFC thing.

987 I think is the official figure given out over PA for the Galway v Derry at Terryland.

**outspoken** · 04/06/2016, 12:27 AM

Couldn't have been more than 300 in bray. Around 20 from Longford. 2 diabolical teams
