Attendances 2018

**MattB11** · 12/10/2018, 10:45 PM

Around 150 or so harps fans I read earlier which is a decent number our fourth trip to United Park this season, I'd be disappointed if there wasn't a good 12/1300 in Finn Park next week

I'd say 150 to 200 harps fans there tonight. I'd be disappointed with anything less than 1500 on Friday. We were poor tonight. Hope we turn up on Friday

There's not a doubt it has more than halved.

Bar the season we came second last in the first division, I've never seen our attendances so poor

Did I see a while ago that Drogs' ticket prices are extortionate?

€15 for terrace and €20 for a seat. Mental prices. I thought Harps prices were poor at €12 terrace and €15 a seat.

Maybe I slightly overestimated Harps support on the night, as I said, hard place to judge, and another crowd of Harps fans up in the seating area.

Still, very disappointed with the traveling support. Too many people talking about Limerick, when needing to get past Drogheda first.

Harps charging about the same as a Premier side is somewhat passable.
Drogs charging more than that average is mad.

I'm sure you'll forgive me, a Limerick fan, for not wanting to face ye!

3877 Dundalk v Sligo.

I think a few hundred might have jumped the wall,hid in the bar or evaded the scanners at the gate as the place was rammed jammmed packed.
But that's the official number.

**MattB11** · 19/10/2018, 11:57 PM

2201 given for Finn Park, to me it looked more

Great to hear.

Is the Limerick fixture just one leg, and away ?

Yeah, certainly looked closer to 2,500 for me at least.

Would expect another 1,000 on top of that for Limerick visit.

Yeah, watching it on RTE2, I had thought over 5,000. Was surprised when i heard 3877, which is still a very good attendance.

**Shearer** · 20/10/2018, 10:22 AM

Heard 350-400 on Twitter for Limerick and Pat's.

**sbgawa** · 20/10/2018, 11:07 AM

Seemed like a big crowd in Tallaght last night and Waterford brought a good few. Didn't hear an official figure

**red bellied** · 20/10/2018, 11:48 AM

2,845 in Tallaght from extra time website.

Less than that, around 150 home fans after 60 mins

**bluewhitearmy** · 20/10/2018, 5:17 PM

Gonna be nowhere near same Limerick crowd in Harps as last time either this time round.

For once I thought it was spot on, I was in the stand and even though they said it was sold out, there were spare seats, not too many mind, however the open seating on the town side of the stand was packed, very little away support too, and with live on tv, I think almost 4K is decent.

That’s about the max really that Dundalk can realistically attract for a league game. The season high was just under 4,200 v Cork in June.

Depending on the result up north they might get a crowd for the second leg.

Not a chance. Was at the game and thought it was going to be around 4000 so figure was right. There was space to the left of the stand, and as rammed as the shed was I’ve seen it even more packed for European games etc

Ah, fair enough. It's such a tight ground for what seats are there that it can look a little fuller than it is sometimes.
