Its a shame that these seats, paid for, but are left empty on a match night. It cant be that hard to organise a scheme where season ticket holders can 'share' their spot when not using their ticket. Do Bohs have such a system in place - it would a legitimate way to sell something twice!

Kerry brought a big support.
Most would have come from the Tralee area and thats quite a bit further up the road the either Limerick or Waterford

It's the Treaty attendance of almost 2K which caught my eye GW1.
Would be interesting to see how big a crowd they could get if they were contending at the top and playing at home against Cork City .
1607 in Longford
Close to a sell out you would imagine if it was towards the end of the season but the markets field I think only holds about 4k

Sure doesn’t look it from the main stand but guessing a decent amount of people in the stand where the cameras are.
Had an eye on this and it didn't look it. Unless very big crowd camera side
I didn't think 1,600 were there at all. There were about 130-150 Harps fans in the away section, and another 60 or 70 Longford fans the other side of the camera. There's no way there were 1,400 in the main stand. Would have said about 800-900 in total at a guess.
Either way, it's as good a crowd as I've seen in Longford for a while. I know there were a lot of Harps fans in the main stand too, because you couldn't sit in the seats in the away section because they were so rotten. I have seen some fairly rough attendances from Longford in the past, so it was good to see a decent crowd in there.

My guess was around 1000-1100 from where I was in the stand. But the club I believe do everything very much by the book these days so maybe..
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
There very obviously wasn't anywhere close to 1600 there, checking my photos quickly to ensure that I hadn't gone mad and that figure is almost double the actual attendance, however it was quite a healthy crowd by Longford standards and another decent turnout in a good opening first division week.
Home tickets sold out for Pats-Bohs.
Pleasantly surprised with the crowd we brought last night...150/160 at a conservative estimate
And would have been considerably more only for an awful lot of people deciding not to travel when the weather was so poor during the day

With way fixtures fall next week will be a fall next from 25k in prem, probably 20k.
First, Harps likely be best attended next week, my guess is 6 to 7k
Nigel by any chance do you have attendances dating back to when you started these threads in a spreadsheet? It'd be great to see the on a line graph. Not just to see overall (recent) growth but for individual clubs, emphasising where growth is and where it isnt eg Dundalk pretty much flatlined. Its cheeky to ask but easier to extrapolate if the numbers are in spreadsheets rather than trawling back over the end of season post for each season?
If they get a lend of Longford's calculator it might land there alright.
Id hazard a guess he meant total first division total attendances not Harps alone
I have a good few years, there's one or two spreadsheets that disappeared but should be able to throw something together.
