Games against Waterford and Limerick will always have a decent crowd making the effort, it's about 90 minutes either direction. Dublin is twice that. You could get out of work at 6 and potentially still make a 7:45 kick off. We also haven't had a huge amount of trips to those cities relative to trips to Dublin.
In the first division a lot of grounds were new to us in the first season so that had an impact, and in the second season, particularly the second half, we were beating everything around us.
The EPL have also introduced a fund this season to subsidise away travel for clubs.
http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/24446082
"The 20 top-flight clubs have been given £200,000 each to subsidise travelling fans, with some offering ticket deals and others providing free coach travel."
Have dates, kickoff times been finalised, can't find details anywhere.
Clubs have announced dates but nothing comprehensive from the FAI
As a matter of interest, Dodge and Pats fans, would you rather win the FAI Cup or league this season?
Athlone V Town confirmed for Friday 6th at 7-45 in lissywoolen.

I know the league is the main competition, and like Dodge, I'm greedy and want both (the beauty of being a supporter - you don't really have to choose) However, I have to admit if we win the cup this year, but not the league, I'll still be delighted. Having been there for four losing finals It would be more than sweet to finally do it. The league on the other hand I've seen us win 5 times (if you're counting 2002, which I am doing, just to **** off Shels fans - and cos we were the best team that year)
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

Feck that, I was hoping for a padded seat with a cup-holder..for my tins of dutch gold.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Looks tidy allright! If Shels eventually vacate Tolka wouldnt be a bad option for a ground share - is there room for development? Bit of random question I know..

No, it's right in the middle of a housing estate if I remember correctly.
