Attendances 2023

[Comic Book Guy]

I think the main reason is that they are no longer in the same division of Cork City.

If Cork City aren't playing at home that Friday I think they can expect a few hundred more on their gate.

They also are not competing with Cork for players any more which has helped their squad and results improve this year.

As always there's probably a bit more nuance to it but it's a big factor I think.

I think the move to Friday nights was the key, the City thing not being at home doesn't make much difference tbh as some of the home games clashed and the crowds were still very good. Also the club did a lot of promotional work over the past few years.
Results are also a big factor, I get the thing about the kids, it's as annoying as f*** but they are the supporters of tomorrow and all that.

That Sligo crowd feels quite low?

[Jd2793]

decent crowd for us against drogs considering there wasnt many of their fans that travelled down. pity we are terrible because we'd easily be adding 1/1.5k to that attendance if we were going well

A **** of a night combined with losing to UCD the week before would have knocked a good bit of the gate….

At the risk of sending our friend ToberonaTornado over the edge this week, official attendance of 3,537 last night vs UCD. Very few in the away end (which included some kids in Pats jerseys).

1074 at the Bowl

7/800 of them were for Shels I'd estimate!

Looking on LOITV my guess at the following,

600+ Shams at Drogheda, 100+ City fans at Richmond, 450 limit of Dundalk fans at Dalymount, and looked like 100+ Sligo fans in Derry!

Great away support, well done to all those who travelled and helped towards the atmosphere!

1,420 at the RSC v Longford.

1014 at Finn Park

Genuinely impressed that Harps are still drawing crowds of over 1,000 given the season it's been for the club.

[joey B]

Yeah it’s been the one positive this season,the crowds have come back even if the football has been poor….

[Dermobohs]

Fair play to harps that’s very impressive, bohs were struggling to sell out the Jodi when Fenlon was winning titles, and when the arse fell out we were looking at a hardcore 1200 .
Really hope this new build boosts harps again, a regular 2k plus aways would be a great start.

[Dermobohs]

Announced at the game last night as 4326 I think that’d be with dundalks very ****ing noisy 450, hope they weren’t all in the hut!

632 in MH Park on Friday. With 500 seating and the limitations of the rest of the ground, 600-700 is probably a decent figure. There isn't a major push through social media other than announcing tickets are on sale at the start of matchweek and a reminder on matchday. I suppose once the main stand is sold out, pushing sales for lower vantage points would be excessive.

519 at UCD v Drogheda

792 in a rain soaked Finn Park.

[nr637]

On LOITV it looked near the 3,500+ at Tolka with the usual 800+ away fans from Bohs.

Anyone there on the nite can confirm!
