Attendances 2018

[passinginterest]

2,845 in Tallaght from extra time website.

That seems at least a thousand low. West stand was very full and East stand had a good crowd too.

Is the new stand open yet?

Is the new stand open yet?

Wasn't open but it looked like everything was in place. Hopefully the other end gets started relatively quickly now too. It's a credit to SDCC and to Rovers.

Usual Health and Safety malarkey plus finishing toilets and other non visable issues etc etc
You'd imagine the club would try to open it with a big game in pre season

[Asterix]

Apparently away fans will be put in the east stand for next season.

Will rovers open the new stand for non derby/major League games... Attendances will look sparse if they do. Good to see it done all the same

I imagine they'd close the east stand for certain games so it would actually look less sparse than it does now.

As far as I know it will be Rovers fans in the main and new stand with only away fans in the square end of the east.
Id prefer to only open the new stand when the main is sold out. Think it would make the atmosphere better as it would be almost full for every game.

A man can dream of the day theyll fill in the corners in Tallaght

1563 in Dalymount tonight for the Bohs u19s Vs Midtylland u19s.

Wow! What was the cover charge? Great stuff, shows what's possible!

We pulled in just under 1300 for Helsinki and just over 3000 for Roma a few years ago. These games are a draw if the opponent is interesting. I think there was a big TV game on the same night as the Helsinki game which would have dented the crowd somewhat.

Was it UCD last year? What sort of crowd did they get?

[pineapple stu]

5/600 I think.

I paid a fiver in. I'm guessing kids were free - there were much more kids than usual.

1,891 at the RSC tonight for the final game of the 2018 season.

2379 Harps V Lims

2379 Harps V Lims

Had a nice laugh to myself at that figure as well. Easily around 3,000 there. Few of us had estimated it at around 3,500 when in the ground.

Do Harps keep the gate money themselves or split someway?

Only a fiver in and kids (under 12) free. not a massive money spinner but boosted the crowd and helped offset the costs of putting the game on. Hopefully generate a bit of interest in the club among the kids that attended (many were new to Dalymount).

Harps keep the gate money. Limerick keep the gate money on Friday night. Extra gates were opened on the night though to ease congestion, so large numbers of people through those gates weren't counted. Only those going through the turnstiles themselves were counted.
