Attendances 2024

**sbgawa** · 24/09/2024, 2:57 PM

id say the figure of 6000 is right enough tbh and im at most games so have a good feal for it, before it was called out id said 6000 ish.
100% there was around 1000 bohs fans there which considering everything is an impressive support.

Longford Town v Wexford (21st Sept) - at best 300.

**nr637** · 25/09/2024, 1:51 PM

Cobh Ramblers v Treaty United (23rd Sept) - again at best between 3-400. Cobh's season has being going downwards for awhile now and so are the crowds.

Behind the scenes there is talk of an injection of funds from a consortium, and talk that if it is accepted by the members, a new manager would be part of the new structure?

With only two home games against Kerry and Bray to come from the final four games, the overall average attendance figure of 763 will not be greatly improved if at all!

Cobh v Treaty 557 on FAI Connect, I doubt very much, I reckon there is a lot of season ticket holders following Cobh..........not !

Second batch of 300 tickets on top of the original allocation went on sale today and were also snapped up

So, officially according to '2 Year Contract', Pats will have 1,400 away fans. Let's see what the Rovers turnout will be like, I suppose another 6/7,000+

6100 were at the Bohs match , PAts bringing probably 400 extra but arent as big a draw as Bohs for some so id be thinking 6000 max.
Our attendances have been poor for the last few months (in relative terms) the lack of Friday games and breaking the habbit of going for some hasnt helped.
Will be interesting, its a huge game for us and a season decider in many ways so hopefully we get a big attendance

Let's hope so, I was thinking the same somewhere in the 8,000+

**LTFC** · 27/09/2024, 8:42 PM

First attendance tonight Drog v Derry 1950
680 in Bray
3080 in Dundalk
4125 in Tolka
2357 in Waterford
460 in Kerry
546 in Limerick

**joey B** · 27/09/2024, 10:46 PM

6839 in Tallaght

**oriel** · 28/09/2024, 3:24 PM

A good few of us couldn't get over the figure of 3,088 called out in Oriel Park, there were queues almost out to the main road, easily 3,500 there.

**Nesta99** · 28/09/2024, 4:35 PM

and many who bought multiple tickets that couldnt go like myself. So 3000 people there or tickets sales. On this occasion when trying to negotiate with creditors or restructure debt undstating ticket sales might have some use. One game, first at home after the THE crisis. Will even understated attendances bigger than 3000 happen for the remainder of home games???

I bought 4 tickets, admittedly had 3 kids but still cost me €30, no big deal, I was part of the fan thing of 'leave the ST at home' and no problem with that, but def 3,500 there last night, the queuing...at 7.30, almost zig zag.

An hour and a half to kickoff and shels still have home tickets on sale for the game tonight. Makes their decision to cut half the away allocation to add home capacity all the more infuriating

I'm watching it here with 2 work colleague's from England who are over for a seminar for the week

They asked me why Pats wouldn't have brought more fans than they have. I explained Shels have limited the number tickets and they said Shels must be loaded turning down 500 people paying in at 15/20 a ticket.

What's the reason for it anyway? Surely the away end being fully open wouldn't affect the home crowd

**nigel-harps1954** · 30/09/2024, 8:05 PM

Really silly stuff from Shels. We cry about lack of coverage in media, but the first thing you pick out when looking at coverage tonight is a half empty stand for a huge game at the top end of the Premier Division.

It's all about optics and this just looks bad.

From what I remember the standing area of the riverside stand being open to Shels fans meant the away fans section needed to be reduced because they would be too close to each other? How true that is I'm not sure.

Think it was something to do with exit routes for Shels fans, as they can't go past the away fans.
