6,021 at Rovers Dundalk

**trevy** · 26/08/2023, 6:32 PM

Small crowd at Bray v Waterford last night. I'd guess around 300 with about 40 away fans. There was no bus from Waterford as weren't enough numbers as it was the 3rd away trip in a week.

nearly 1k at harps I was told, some crowds given the state of the place and the poor results

Dundalks figures are bizarrely consistent. 2659 . 2689. 2775. 2738. 2674. 2738 for last 6 years ignoring 2020 and 2021.

When you take into account the changes of teams in the division and changes in dundalks performances it's a statistical anomaly.

Or the Oriel factor.

I can see why Bray mightn't release their official crowd if the crowds are as bad as Friday night! I thought about 300 there not 500 but either way was very poor.

Same for Treaty. Was there even 200 there?

546 was the attendance and is on FAI Connect.

The figures don't always go up straight away but do usually.

**wonder88** · 01/09/2023, 8:53 PM

Waterford v Athlone 1238.

**nr637** · 02/09/2023, 9:49 AM

2400+ Roy Keane at TC!

**legendz** · 02/09/2023, 4:42 PM

560 in MH Park last night. A drop from the regular 650s during the summer. The wait for a home league win continues.

Large town, but still only 45k max in greater region, even in SK era crowds got over 3k for maybe 5 or 6 games a season max, a few exceptions were 4k+ but static other than that. There was no post covid 'bounce' for us as this is the base / pool figure, what is clear though is 500+ are not turning up as we are not winning leagues.

Again back to the SK era, some great crowds, but more than often a lazy turnout. That said and into this era the club appears to be doing very little to encourage more support, they seem content on twitter / fb etc. Prob up to 1k ST holders, that's not bad, but probably also the current limit, think it was 1.5k in SK years.
