I think this year will be the most successful in term of attendances. It's just a pity the size of the current stadiums is probably now the main restrictor. james McClean will be an attraction and what looks like being a closer run thing for the title that will keep fans interested and and wanting to attend. Ironically a lot of fans complained about Dalymount only allowing 450 away fans into the Mono stand and when they get the opportunity to show their strength they want to boycott it.
To balance against those is the fact we've swapped Cork with Dundalk, with the former usually being better supported. And the Bohs Aviva opener this year will have a much smaller crowd than the one last year did.Originally Posted by Shinkicker
But then having both Galway and Derry playing at GAA grounds should also increase crowds for both - if only for the novelty factor.
So swings and roundabouts all over the league when it comes to attendances. Hopefully we'll have a proper title challenge at the top, and a tight relegation battle at the bottom, to keep crowds good throughout.
I see there is 18k sold for Sundays game. What is the breakpoint for Bohs to cover costs? I remember hearing it was around this figure.
