ForzaForth has it listed as around 360 on the Wexford forum here. Never usually too far off as well.

St Pats v Shels - 4,811
Shamrock Rovers v Derry City - 4,031

Monday night and all that, but disappointing enough crowd at Tallaght, which in itself is a bit mental.

What people forget is that we only were averageing 3k before we started winning stuff in 2020.
Half our fans arent happy unless we are top of the league and vote with their feet.
If we dont win the league this year our average gate will fall dramtically. kids want to be entertained and watchig a team struggle (in relative terms) isnt as much fun as turning up to watch am exhibition.
i title from 1986 to 2009 it doesnt take the auld lads happy but the new crowd are different

If 4000+ is your low base then I wouldn’t be too worried. If every club was working of minimums of 4000 the league would be even stronger than it currently is.

I am still not convinced that the Pats figures as correct, yes they have significantly increased crowds, and long may it continue, and same for all clubs, but 4,811 last night?

Shels took a large crowd, but behind their goal was not full, poss 3/4. The away seating end of main stand was half full, call it 800 in total away support. Then a good few gaps all along that stand but jammers to be fair at Ultras corner. Call it 1200 max home fans main stand. Behind the goal, another decent crowd, looked to be 1k, add all up - 3,000 (give or take).

This leaves around 1,800 on the camac side?

Also what is the capacity of Richmond these days?

Feels like proper deja-vu having this conversation every time you (or maybe it was another Dundalk fan in the past) brings this up every few months. Capacity is around 5100. No tickets go on sale for the main stand for any game this year as it’s sold out by season ticket holders already. There can be gaps in the main stand but as mentioned the ultras section usually tends to be over full with more people standing than there are seats, as well as people standing on the steps. The Camac is absolutely rammed pretty much every week and has the highest capacity of any of the sides of the ground

Nigel, figures quoted for Wexford usually come from a "reliable source," so should be ok as a rule.

Since Thursday 7,500 tickets sold for Friday's clash at Tallaght between Premier Division leaders Shels and five-in-a-row Shamrocks!

[nr637]

2,423 at the RSC last night, great attendance for the home club for a Thursday night fixture, great promotion work being done by the club!

The too many Dublin clubs theory has certainly died on the vine since Covid.

[Buckett]

Great crowds in Dublin for the past few years. Do you think any Dublin clubs will be involved in the 3rd tier whenever it starts up?

Yeah have to admit that I was guilty of completely underestimating the ceiling of the Dublin clubs fan base.

Dublin derbies and the increased number of away fans at these games has been a big part of the game day experience/atmosphere in the LOI.

Pretty jealous of those clubs getting big-ish once a month but definitely scope for another Dublin club or two in a third tier.

[Shearer]

Athlone v UCD - 541
City v Treaty - 2,523
Kerry v Harps - 420
Wexford v Bray - ?
Longford v Cobh - 264

That depends on what basis the assertion is made.

If it's on crowds alone, then yes - Dublin has a large enough population to sustain 4 'big' clubs at an LOI level.

However : If it's on the basis that our game should ideally be more evenly spread around the country....

It’s a moot argument none of the four clubs are going to vanish into thin air to facilitate decentralisation.
