Attendances 2024 (Size of away support )

[oriel]

Poor crowd from sligo on Friday.

They're levelling the area behind the goal in the next few weeks. Would love if club considered giving that area to away supporters from clubs that don't bring many like sligo and derry as it'd free up a few hundred more for home supporters in away shed

I remember the good old days of the 90's even when fans were mixed, the current home terrace was just home fans left and right and away fans in the middle. An ex work mate of mine, big Drogs fans used to love going to watch games from the current away shed.

I noticed that on Fri from goals round up how small the away support was for Sligo, it should be fun there on BH monday lunchtime !

Hi Cosmo,

What is happening behind that goal area as you stated in your comment?

[Buckett]

You keep asking for further info but you do nothing with it. At least in the real attendance thread the data is used; for averages by club and division, and total attendances for seasons. This is just nonsense

I'd prefer to leave that to someone else, I just thought it would be a good idea to begin a thread like this. To be fair it seems to have attracted a decent following by the number of weekly posts. Maybe you would be interested in adding the away averages by club and division, and total away attendances for seasons, seeing as you seem to be following this thread with interest. Unless you have another idea for a thread that would be of more interest to us!

[Buckett]

How can I do the totals/averages with inaccurate data?

Without any semi-accurate data, it would be difficult. But it would be interesting to see accurate data for away fans released, and collated in a similar threaed.

So Buckett, I take that as a no!

Even with the current semi-accurate data, it would be interesting to see it collated, showing away support trends amongst teams during the season.

As I have told you before my take on this information has been based on reading emails and posts here, on extratime.ie, local sports reports, watching LOI TV, attending games myself and checking various league clubs social media outputs, which all helps to create a semi-accurate number of the away support.
This method at least gives a reasonable picture for most fans, but like everything you will never please everyone Buckett, as you probably have found yourself at times.
So, keep following the thread if you want you do have the choice!

[Buckett]

I'd say 10-10,000,000 Derry fans in Galway tonight. [insert douchebag emoji]

Jese, it's nice having an idea of away fans at matches. This thread does that. It doesn't need to be anything else

There was around 200 Drogheda fans at Richmond Park. Thought there'd be an extra hundred more of them but the ones there made plenty of noise.

[Shearer]

Definitely 6 that I know of made the trip to Finn Park. Could have been more.

One group of lads standing together were all I saw from the gantry anyway so that would make sense. Made plenty of noise though to be fair to them. They also seemed to enjoy the quality refereeing performance.

small crowd of Longford Town fans in Belfield bowl think 20 at most!

[trevy]

I'd say around 20 Waterford fans in Sligo going by a clip I saw on social media from end of game but anyone there will know better. Tallaght on Monday will be easier to get to.

[oriel]

Shels def had 400+ in Oriel Park on Friday, def their biggest away crowd in recent times travelling up and great to see.

**Edit, revised on looking at highlights, i would go 350, still decent.

[Shearer]

10 Athlone fans at the Markets Field
