Quote780 at Kerry vs UCD - certainly a good sign that the attendances have been healthy so far, even at matches without much of an away following.

That's because of the big student away following that travelled to support UCD, I suspect! ?Originally Posted by culloty82

Disappointing crowd ,off the back of 2 wins,a new manager and decent weather I thought we might have got a few more than that……
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Attendences are weird this year. Looked more than other weeks
Good weather is never good for crowds in Finn Park. Never will be.

Is if just me or are there some disappointing crowds in there?, particularly some of the Premier Division ones. We’ve been hearing all about this new stand in Derry for ages and how it takes the capacity up loads and how every game last season was sold out at around 3,600, then it’s opened and there’s only 100 extra people in the ground? Cork with around 3,300 home fans is kind of expected with their ticket prices and form but even so it’s a little disappointing. Rovers crowd is below their average too

I don't think they permit full numbers into the new stand yet. Like most clubs when they are struggling their attendance will drop a fair bit anyway
Kerry attendance was undoubtedly disappointing, but presumably the unseasonably warm weather was a factor.
I could definitely be wrong, but I thought Derry's capacity last season was around 3,350.
However despite the new stand being somewhat restricted, I'm guessing they could have got more than an extra 400 in.
Nevertheless form is likely a factor.
Cork as stated, either need cheaper tickets or to be up near the top of the league. Either would result in those attendances being a good bit higher. If they were challenging for the title I'd expect the Cross to have 6,000+ at most games, even with the prices.
Shams is the real disappointment for me there. I didn't actually think they'd get an attendance that low on a Friday night this year. It's a great thing saying that, when it's still nearly 5,000 people.
However what it does show is how spoiled their fans have been the last few years. It's easy to have a buzz around the place and attract people when you're expecting to win every week.
They're very much going to be in the mix for the title, and as a result attendances will likely trend upwards as the season goes on and they pull themselves away from the mid table pack.
Tallahht must have felt empty last night however.
Leinster game didn’t help the Tallaght attendance last night, we have a lot of walk-up attendees due to large capacity so leaves us vulnerable to drop-offs in non-‘glamour’ games like last night. Still should be getting 5k plus though.
