Wonder where those figures came from?A newspaper report has revealed the average Eircom League attendance has increased from 1,700 last season, to 1,900 so far this season.
BTW, attendance at Dublin City vs. Limerick probably just about brushed 200.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
What was that post there last year - think it said the Premier figure was around 1700 (compared to 1863 we got here)?
We're up to 1948 by our count here, so I suppose that isn't too far out.
Course, where it's coming from is another story...
In fairness, the League of Wales has only been around for 13 years or so, and the big teams (Swansea, Cardiff, Wrexham and even Merthyr Tydfil, Newport County and a couple of others) all play in England...Originally Posted by Buller

I would guess around 1,400 at Shels v Longford if you still haven't got a number in for it. Typically poor monday crowd
Derry-Drogs 2,500.
Rovers harps- 1100 at a guess
Updated, thanks! Now have a figure for every single Premier Division game played this season (and 89% of First Division games)...
There was actually four of us in Sligo

No way was there that many at it. 1,000 tops I would have said.I would guess around 1,400 at Shels v Longford if you still haven't got a number in for it. Typically poor monday crowd
It's hard to say because the crowd was so spread out, the Ballybough end had more than usual in it and even the Riverside had a few people in it, no idea why that happened.
Very few in the Ballybough end in the first half. More in the second but they seemed to have moved from the new stand, which was only half full at best in the second half.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
I assume there'll be an official figure anyway?
Fintan normally has the offical figure, I'll PM him tomorrow if there's none given.
just a rough guess but id say around 600 at belfield for ucd v cork city.
First Division Champions
506. Most depressing game I've ever been to at Belfield...
Yeah small home & away crowd - i take it thats why it was depressing?506. Most depressing game I've ever been to at Belfield...
