We have our first official stat for 2024, with 1,077 recorded at the RSC tonight for Waterford v Douglas Hall.
That’s some crowd for the 12th of January….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Certainly is. A sign of the times for sure.Originally Posted by joey B
+ 4 at Shelbourne v Dundalk at AUL today, Pats manager Jon Daly and assistant, Stephen Kenny on the other side (there to watch his son - not sure if he featured) and what looked like another LOI manager as a hooded figure.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Carrigaline vs Treaty United was pretty much sold out. They stopped letting people in after kick-off saying there was no room.
No exact figure, but the Kerryman informs us that "about 400" were at Mounthawk Park last night:

400 is an impressive attendance for an early January run out. The MSC quarter-final in MH Park will probably be on the Friday of the February Bank Holiday weekend.
448 attendance was announce at Athlone-Pats on Saturday. That was my first time in Athlone since a pre-season friendly in 2020 which must’ve had about 70 people at it

Athlones crowds increased massively last season, went from around 300 to 850 on average. Not sure why, I think a lot of their supporters are still boycotting the club.
Presumably much like every other team, crowds will rally if there's a significant improvement on the previous season.
Season tickets weren't scanning so no accurate figure, but around 700-800 in Finn Park today for Harps v Derry friendly.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
About 3/400 standing around the pitch I'd say, with over a half supporting Treaty.
Unusually for a junior soccer game in Kerry, today's FAI Junior Cup attendance between Tralee Dynamos and Trim Celtic is officially recorded as 50 - in truth, they did well to record that many, with Storm Isha in full force this afternoon.
They are unlikely to get more fans in cold weather. Maybe when it gets warmer, more people will come to matches.
According to the Kerryman reporter, they had to play through the storm, as FAI rules state that if the game were to be postponed for any reason, they would have had to travel to Meath for the re-fixture!

Was surprised that neither of the Lowths wound up with Kerry FC, unless they couldn't commit.
If a club calls off a game, they lose home advantage. Maree/Oranmore’s game on Sunday with Grange Vale in the FAI Junior Cup was called off due to the red weather warning, with the Cork side already on their way to Galway, but because the FAI called off the game, Maree/Oranmore have retained home advantage for the rescheduled game on Sunday week
4000 tickets sold for Presidents Cup final so far.
Pats have sold out the allocation given and are looking at getting an extension to it

Would imagine they be entitled to half capacity so that should be a given. Is Tallaght now 10k capacity?
