Don't see a thread for this so I will start one. Some excellent crowds at the opening round of league games. Dublin/Kerry 42000 Donegal/mayo 8700, Tyrone/Meath 5700. Anyone know some some others?
I'd estimate 3k at most in the Hyde.
Probably 50 from Laois!

Thanks afm, Galway/Monaghan (hurling double header) 7600
Any one an attendance from Celtic Park on Sat evening? Derry Vs Leitrim
I saw a figure of around 2,300 for the Cork-Offaly game.
There was probably a few hundred who were there primarily for the ladies games given it was their first time ever playing in PUC.
Attendances like that aren't going to do much in the way of helping pay for Frank's folly.

I was surprised at this. I thought there were more than that there. Does that include non paying under 16s?
As far as I'm aware figures are for those who paid in.

I wouldn't think so. Healy Park looked to have >7000 in also.
Were u16s free into CP?

I'd hazard a guess nearer 20k at McHale Park last night . Stand holds ten , in no way possible was there a mere 5k in the rest of the ground , just doesn't add up . Im going to actually count the people at the Kerry game in a few weeks time and prove they are telling lies 😆
U16s free so not counted?

yeah it would be 15000 paid in and easily another few thousand kids free.

There must have been 3 to 4 thousand from Dublin. They really do travel in large numbers.
Any attendance from castleblaney or navan?
Monaghan/Tyrone 7500

they have been under reporting the crowds in mc hale park at league matches for years and its pretty consistent always around the 3/4k mark. i'm assuming that a percentage of tickets sold on the night which are of course are cash transactions are not reported in the attendance.

The tickets should be sequentially numbered though to enable easy counting? That's why they have tickets in the first place. Season tickets, home supporters clubs and kids usually don't pay in and arent counted in the figure.
how many can the stand in Navan hold . I would expect a big may crowd there esp expats in dublins
a the Land commission boys

everyone who goes through the turnstiles is supposed to be counted and are''officially'' counted, that includes all kids, season ticket holders ect, so the attendance should reflect everyone who went through the turnstiles.
i have absolutely no proof of any miscounting but for those familiar with mc hale park it has seemed obvious enough for a good few years now that the figures are unreported.
the suspicion is that this is some way of avoiding declaring the money garnered from such tickets. season tickets are no good for this, nor are tickets sold on line or in supervalu. the only place those in charge have any control is on the tickets sold on the gate.
this is cash collected on the night, so i suppose in theory it would be possible to not declare these tickets and have perhaps one turnstile not ''wired up'' this is all pure speculation of course and i'm sure mayo gaa would never engage in such behavior.
the issue of tickets issued having number on them is irrelevant as children dont have any tickets at all so that muddies the water enough in that regard.
3100 at Laois v Armagh
Big crowd for a Saturday night
