    Encouraging Premier Div opening game attendances there. Do we have figures from previous years to compare ?

    Particularly impressive for Galway and Limerick given the teams they were playing. I'd say Limerick will see a lot of those back again.

    Actual attendance at our game was 2800 and something. Ran out of tickets. I was in a q that paid cash on the gate and I was fifteen minutes late.

    Amazing attendance considering the chaps were playing a bulmers shield game in thomond at the same time.

    Good to see 50 plus Drogheda fans down at Galway the other night. Felt to me that there was more than the official figure there; my ST did not get scanned for example as it was not working in one of the turnstiles. Good promotion done by the club for the fixture, pity about the result on the night.

    I think it is a given at this stage that season tickets are included in the attendances, doesnt make sense not to as a sold ticket whether the owner actually turns up of not. Not a major thing really in what was by and large and decent opening weekend for attendances. As we know from past seasons that keeping the levels of an opening weekend sustained through out the season is one of the challanges. There will be no shortage of key fixtures at both ends of the table throughout. It is a real shame that an extra one or two clubs in the first division wont be able to maximise interest with play-off slots.

    There's no point comparing this past weekends attendances with last seasons first week. Will compare, however, the first and second week combined with last seasons to give a fairer reflection of how different the attendance figures are compared to last season.

    I'd say there's no great difference really. Extratime compared everyones attendances in their article with clubs averages from last season which I thought was a bit ridiculous as opening week attendances are almost always higher for clubs anyway.

    Indeed. But there would be in comparing them to a number of previous seasons opening day's fixtures.

    I suspect a chunk of those who go to the first game of the season do so out of hope. If their club has a crap opening, they'd be less inclined to go to their next home fixture. I'd be stunned if Sligo's attendance this weekend isn't impacted by the tanking they got at Limerick last weekend, for example.

    How much does the away end in Sligo hold?

    We seem to be bringing bus load after bus load. 2 bus companies booked out of buses already (not including the muja/scumbags who use a Newry company, as Dundalk companys wont take them)

    At a pop, I'd say around 1,000!

    Very good attendance in Tallaght at over 5k.

    Cork lads, were you expecting more than 3.3k? Usually your first home league match is a bumper crowd, its still a decent turn out given the day that it was, assume it was spilling down there most of the day too?

    Yeah I would've expected more, but it was pelting down all day until around 4. Probably turned quite a few away, but still happy with the turnout and the win of course

    Honestly expected 2500 at most given the weather. Very healthy attendance given the circumstances. Billy Barry telling the county that the game was definitely off around lunch time can't have helped. Not many down from Galway either - 20? 30 maybe.

    Yeah that's fair enough, it really was a dreadful day all over the country, to be honest any club getting over 3k is decent in my book, whatever the match.

    Very good attendance. It looked less on TV but that was probably because people packed to the upper sections due to the weather.
