The NI Football League has revealed they have enjoyed another year of extraordinary growth with a 32% increase of fans through the turnstiles at games this season.
Just as the players delivered on the pitch, there was something special building off the pitch as 328,529 fans returned to Irish League stadiums after the disappointment of a Covid enforced exile.
Most Irish League games were played in front of restricted numbers or behind closed doors during the previous campaign but the growth of 32% is measured against the last full unrestricted season.
