League of Ireland Attendances - Gameweek 5

Credit:

 

A full series of ten games took place for Gameweek 5 and, with pubs closed on Friday, it was an opportunity to lure punters to football grounds with the lack of public houses to distract their attentions.

 

Thursday night's game between Dundalk and Drogheda United saw the Lilywhites draw their third consecutive over 2,000 attendance. Games against Shamrock Rovers (2,598), Sligo Rovers (2,054) and Drogheda United (2,198) has seen Oriel Park busier than last season.

 

There are four estimated attendances this week. As we get official figures for Limerick, Shamrock Rovers, Derry City and Bray Wanderers we will update accordingly.

 

Our total attendance figure for the season so far after five Gameweeks sits at 57,617 for 43 games averaging at 1,340 per game which includes 12 estimated attendance figures.
