Attendances 2019

Great to see by Pats, thats probably their best opening night crowd in over 5 years ? i dont even think they got close to this regularly when they won the league in 2013. Any idea on the away supoort from Cork **

Pats are probably behind Bohs and certainly Rovers in terms of supoort base, so if they can keep figures as close to 3k as possible that new guy is doing some job.

** edit, just saw that save online by Clarke in front of the shed, some save, looked a decent Cork away support in that section.

Theres a few factors involved, obviously the first game of the season brings a bigger crowd, playing one of the big teams, new manager and Forrester being back also added to it, Rovers being away probably helped as a neutral on the Southside who wanted to check a game out only had one option

But as mentioned above the club have been doing a lot of stuff in the community over the last few months, the new community officer is doing a brilliant job. Things that have been missing for the last number of years, school visits, local football clubs visit, getting local businesses involved again and just generally really pushing the Pats and Inchicore connection has worked wonders.

The best thing about about the crowd on Friday is that even though Cork brought a decent crowd over 3,000 were there supporting Pats.

I know I�m getting ahead of myself but we play Rovers in 3 weeks, 6/7 points from our 3 games before then and we could see a massive crowd at that, here�s hoping

Bohs vs Rovers already sold out. I imagine we could have sold even more tickets if we had extra capacity.

What's the current capacity of Dalyer ? It's far too small whatever it is, so the sooner you get that redevelopment the better.

I don't have an exact figure but I heard at the Sligo game on Friday that Dundalk sold 'in excess of 1k season tickets' this is good going, but to be fair most are renewals.

It's obviously a big layout at the start of the season, most expensive being €225/275 for Dundalk, general / named seat stand, but it's great to have the card in your pocket / wallet for the season.

Some will argue ST sales reduce cash flow on match day, but I think the opositive, it can free up cash to spend in club shops etc.

clubs should allocate certain amount to allow for ST holders but they always spend the cash.

Rovers have given us just 500 tickets for next Friday night?

Why in the name of God is this **** going on when they have a whole stand they can open?

**Asterix** · 22/02/2019, 10:58 AM

More tickets will be given if yous sell them. Dundalk don't bring 500 down most times.

Whatever this hold is what you'll be given.

I thought that might be the case. In fairness we have took good crowds to Tallaght recentley (our fans are expecting a title race with you this year aswell)

Why not just let us pay at the gate instead of this ticket nonsense for a game the capacity is going to more than cover the away end.

Who would have guessed that based on your less than moderate response.

It must be fairly obvious why the home club and AGS would want to know and control the visitor numbers through ticketing
