Attendances 2022

[nr637]

Dundalk?s crowds this season have tended to be above the 2500 mark but below 3000. Is there a reason they are not higher , especially for the bigger matches?

Do you really want to know the real reason!

Well, if you care to share I do.

Enlighten us please.

2734 @ OP/CF last night with about 500 down from Pats.

Would have thought a game of that magnitude would draw 3000+, probably unrealistic to expect that too often with the condition of Oriel.

My guess from being at the match was that the attendance was just over 3000.(the shed was overflowing at both ends and bigger than normal crowd on the town side of the ground) but agree with you totally about the conditions at OP and last night was cold - ie, not the sort of weather that would attract the casual/floating supporter to attend.

EDIT: Stand was sold out and great away support also.

No it wasn’t, far from it. More or less all of the seats that were not under the roof closer to the away end half of the pitch were unoccupied as you can see in the below video. Granted the video is right at the end of the match but it was like that all night

Fair enough.Not going to get in to a huge debate over this. A lot of Shed fans usually move to the townside end of the ground(closer to the exit gate) for the last 5/10 mins of the match.(some fans call the townside end the "5 minute stand" for that reason) Just my opinion of attendance as a ST regular in OP,nothing written in granite.

Alledgedly clubs do not give the exact figures for............various reasons............now I am not an accountant.......but lets leave it at that. ....hmmmmm!

Most at the match I spoke to said just over 3k at the Dundalk v Pats game, there is no doubt crowds are down 500 this year v the SK era, but def looked to be more than the 2,734 announced.

[brendy_éire]

4k at the Derry-Harps.

They seem to be selling 300 odd terrace tickets now too.

2,800 at EDP v Athlone

From not having a scoreboard for a season or so, the new one as seen in this video at the start is a monster, must be biggest in the league?

Fantastic crowd for an all but dead rubber First Div game.

[red bellied]

Is there a sticky where you can just see the averages?
Bit of a troll trying to find anything through this thread.

Nigel's last update, AFAIK:

Bit of an update. An awful lot of estimates this year. Bohs, Drogheda, Shels and UCD figures proving difficult to find, a handful of Pats estimates, a smattering of one or two among the rest, and Derry being Derry.

In the first division, there's more estimates than official figures across the board. Cork, Waterford and Wexford are pretty much up to date, but missing three of the last four from Galway, half a season from Longford, and Cobhs official attendances seemed to have tailed off with the crowds dipping. Nothing from Bray or Athlone this year, and only four figures from Treaty.

So, with all that in mind, who knows how accurate we are this year, but the inevitable summer drop in attendances is notable across the board for almost everyone..

Been a bit of a crap year for getting official attendance figures. I don't ever remember it being so difficult before. Will try and update again before this weekends fixtures.

Does it always have to turn into idiot central these days when a LOI team scores a goal.
No different for us either with clowns jumping onto the pitch

[2 Year Contract]

Looks set to be a great crowd in Inchicore tomorrow night. All seats are sold out and there’s less than 200 standing tickets left on the camac. Not sure how the Bohs tickets are selling but it could be a sell out

Is the list of clubs who've had a full house of some sort (league, cup or Europe) this season therefore :

- Rovers
- Pats
- Bohs
- Shels ?
- Waterford ?
- Sligo
- Derry.

Any others ?

Yeah not the first sell out that pats will have had this season, the Sligo and shams games sold out off the top of my head, others that I’m missing there too. Obviously the European game against Mura but that was limited capacity.

One club that’s missing from your list is Drogheda I think who sold out games against UCD and Dundalk early in the season IIRC.

Cork v Galway in both Terryland and Turners Cross could’ve been sold out also, if not then they were very close to it
