It was sold out, yep. Some empty seats around though.
That must be the biggest attendance for Shamrock Rovers in 30 years, no?
2,626 in Turners Cross this evening

Its the biggest attendance for the Tallaght Stadium ever. I imagine the elder Shamrock Rovers fans can answer this question for Pateen?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
They've had a heap of attendances over 7,000 but not over 8,000 before.
I don't think it's a Tallaght record either. Wasn't there 10,000 there for Real Madrid visit with the temporary stands?

How exactly was there 8,012 in Tallaght when its current capacity is 8,000? Allowing for no shows, seat kills and unsold away tickets it makes even stranger
Paaatrick's Agletic
There was no segregation or seat kills hence the increased attendance
I thought that myself when i heard the total. There were quite a number of people standing in the corners and behind the goals in places. Also these was no segregation with the sligo fans
Great crowd, well done to both clubs!
Last but not least..

I know the FAI app has made this a fair bit easier, but still great work all the same!
FAI Connect has been a god-send. I don't think I've had to chase any clubs for attendance figures all season, and I'm not entirely sure I'm too arsed chasing up only four missed figures for an entire. Many other years I'd have been delighted to only have been left with four estimates.

And the two Shels games have been added with their official attendances. Just the Derry game from the weekend and one Bray match from July and we have a full set of official attendance figures for probably the first time since they've been tracked on here.
With the updates to official figures, and the upcoming FAI Cup final and Play-off final, we're well on course to have over 900,000 attendees at senior football in Ireland this season.

Saw a stat from one of the rovers directors on twitter that the 12 Friday night matches in tallaght attendances were 6800 average. By my probably wrong maths that's 5000 for the other 6 matches not on Friday.
Cork extra 150 in premier division. Importance of wining and having games against teams within reasonable travel distance (derby games). Harps down by around the same figure as the Cork increase after relegation is also interesting.
On balance really, Harps home crowds were up, or at the very least on a par, this season. Missed two big derby gates against Derry that made the difference.

Is that the new stand part-opened, or does the capacity get over 8,000 when the needed 'sanitation area' to separate supporters doesn't have to be that big?
The RDS era saw a few big crowds, so you're probably right.
Chuck in Europe and WNL and crowds must be close to a million.
Being lurking here a long time and decided time I popped in with my twuppence worth. The stats you have Nigel are fantastic, seriously well done.
Few observations on the detail, cause the trends are positive.
Shamrock Rover- while 20k attended an RDS game, first one I think, this season Rovers have had over 100k attend league games. Maybe in that RDS season that was surpassed but dont think so. Rovers with additional seats should exceed that next year with Dublin derbies getting close to 10k.
Bohs/Pats - neck and neck . Some serious work done by the clubs , Pats growth since 2016, growing their average by a multiple of 4 , Bohs, since 2016, steadily increasing year on year. For both of them capacity now the issue, especially for big games.
Shels, in my view this was unexpected. Yes the large jump on promotion, as happens almost all teams, but to add to that by over 20% is some going - basically retaining all those that came in first season back up and adding to it. Got to be optimistic that they can maintain that.
Cork - historically the only club that could previously average 4k plus - even before Nigels stats, so once they stay up they can grow that again, still most likely to challenge S Rovers on attendances.
In general terms, averaging over 3k in premier division for the first time is brilliant. Now as a fan of a smaller club we feel even further away than before, but there is a trickle down happening, with 7 first division clubs who were there last season seeing increases, only Galway, seeing a decrease. Finn Harps, with neither Sligo or Derry visiting is basically an increase from last year, despite relegation and a poor season.
