They'd have to with the pathological fear of leaving the county for away games (bar Cobh).

That is immense. The potential for LOI football in Cork is huge. Assuming they make it back to the top tier soon and they aren't playing rubbish whilst there, you could imagine some games would sell out at The Cross. Does it have a higher capacity than Tallaght currently ?

Stand to be corrected, but I think it's about 6,900 safe capacity.

Must have been 3000 at least in Richmond tonight. It could be a tad more.

Drogs Twitter has 2158 for v Dundalk last week.
And are reporting an average support of 1474.

Exactly 7,385 apparently:

Pretty much impossible to expand on that I presume? Very tight location on all four sides.

Good to see Cork football back on its feet. They are tough gits but vital to have a strong cork side in the premier.

Incredible first division attendance, great to see buzz back around Cork.

Its a pity any time they've clashed its been goalless this year. I think Eamon Deacy park was sold out for their game there too?

I didn't see either game but I suspect Caulfields agricultural tactics play some part?! *fishing rod cast*

If Galway and Cork both go up this year it'll be a big boost for the PL.

Galway football also having a moment too it seems.

The LOI really needs all 5 main cities represented in the top tier - whereas currently only Dublin is.

Actually Galway won 1-0 down here earlier in the season and then we won 1-0 up in Galway.

1,578 at Finn Park,a terrible crowd…

**nigel-harps1954** · 17/07/2022, 11:04 PM

About 400-500 of that were Derry supporters too. Would have hated to see what the crowd was like if it weren't a derby game.

Wow ! You'd have thought an early kick-off on a sunny day would have helped the crowd (even if it is holiday season).

What was the attendance for the same fixture earlier in the season? Crowds seem to have plummeted at Harps over the last 2 months.

About double that I think …..

Harps bdly need a shot in the arm to get locals ivolved again. Progress on Stranrlor and a good cub run could do the job. Does there be other things on on match nights that attracts people who'd go to Balbofey usually?
