Invest in stadiums Turners Cross

League of Ireland attendance





Turners Cross stadium

One of the main goals of the League of Ireland is attendance. Only once in the last 10 seasons has the average gone over 2,000. The club that leads attendance is Cork City. Cork City has always been above the League average. The Club has had the best attendance 6 out of 9 seasons. I do not have stats for 2009 or the 2002 season. The league should look at what Cork City is doing to attract fans. The first criteria is that the club has to have a decent team….meaning can not be the worst team in league that year. The next aspect I would look at is the stadium. Does the stadium have nice seating? Does the stadium have a roof to keep fans dry in wet weather? How are the other facilities like the bathrooms, buying food and beer? The most important is the atmosphere. Cork City plays at a stadium called Turners Cross in Cork. The seating capacity is 7,485 making it one of the few all-sweater stadiums in the League. The surface is a grass pitch. There have renovations over the years making it one of the nicest stadiums in the League.
