Surpassing Pat's highest attendance of 2017 by 410 people.

You sure it wasn’t 410 bots 🙄🙄🙄Originally Posted by nigel-harps1954
Good opening attendances there.
No idea of the numbers but there looks to be a very large travelling contingent in Inchicore tonight.

UAverage of 2,851 for those 4 games. Cork and Rovers at home next week so probably decent crowds for those, even if Rovers lost tonight, still their first home.
I would have maybe expected a little more at Dundalk, however low enough away support, not that you need to be depending on that.
Edit : some on oriel web saying problems with the scanners at oriel park last night, it looked a little more.

#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).
3,421 is the latest figure I'm getting from Oriel Park. Anyone able to clarify that?

3421 is far more likely to be accurate than the figure of 2490 previously mentioned
Its what was said on DundalkFM and a pretty specific number for them to have used. But maybe that was paying customers on the night and the larger number includes season tickets. The comment was 'the 2490 people in Oriel got no value for money tonight'.
3,056 in The Showgrounds
Big opportunity missed to capitalise unfortunately.
thats a excellent figure from Sligo, fair play, looked like 500 or so up frm cork again good stuff. Just about over Friday night which was perhpas the most dissapointing result in 5 years from us. We need a keeper big style. Still should get 5k plus next week.
Good atmosphere too, until we capitulated after the Limerick goal.
Lowest attendance of the week was 2500 & that was in dreadful conditions in Waterford, obviously the numbers will drop off from the excitement of the opening day but an impressive start league wide
Each sides opening attendance from this season compared to last season:
Bohs - (2018) 3,640 - (2017) 2,170
Dundalk - (2018) 2,490 - (2017) 4,746
Pat's - (2018) 2,771 - (2017) 1,722
Waterford - (2018) 2,502 - (2017) 1,317
Sligo - (2018) 3,056 - (2017) 2,138
TOTAL - (2018) - 14,459 - (2017) 12,093

Delighted with the crowd on Friday, 'official' attendance at 2,771 but definitely 3,000+ there, probably our biggest home league crowd since we beat Sligo to win the league in 2013.
They got a great game, shame about the result, hopefully a large majority come back on Friday week
Here on a technicality.
That is not a bad start crowd wise. A good target would be to get 15,000 going to LoI games every week. 10,000 to the premier division; average 2k per game, and 5,000 to the first; average 1,000 per game. The first division target is probably the most difficult, but we could have a very competitive league this season and with play-offs most clubs should have an interest right up to the end.
Shame the seats on the half-stand side in Dalymount can't be opened by Bohs or Dublin City Council, as it many years yet before the ground is developed.
Why would the official attendance be lower than the real attendance?
The average for the Premier division last year was 1,906 so pretty much there already. First division averaged 476 so a lot of work needed there to reach 1k. Last year Waterford's crowds were very healthy due to the buzz of the new owner so the average may even drop this year.
