Excuse me? Cork City pulling a fast one financially? Never!
Decent crowd at Dundalk-Bray last night, 2,000 plus.
2000 plus ? I wouldn't have though it was quite that much but there was a decent crowd alright and the home fans were excellent, especially in the 2nd half, created a lot of noise and atmosphere. Not much all 15 of us Bray fans could have done to add to it :D

I'd say around 1500 last night in the Showgrounds to watch that embarresment. Around 75 City fans maybe?

Alan, around 150 from Derry. Alot of them arriving just before kick off.
There was at least 1000 Hoops up there. 1250 away tickets sold according to a Drogheda steward and one of the biggest away crowds ever seen in United Park. An idea of what the crowd was like from our forum http://www.srfcultrasforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=186082&postcount=106
Overall attendance of 2000-2300 is about right I think.
Ok fair enough, away end did look packed on MNS, reminded me of our cup replay there in 2004, think almost 4,000 at that and the away end was jammers, but woudlnt have thought 1250 could have got into utd park for away fans, as their stand only holds 400 or so ?
Good support all the same, drogs picking up on the crowds and on the pitch too.
Great crowd for a Tuesday night down here, including a very big Rovers crowd, fair play.

Would be about right.
I'm guessing some Derry fans turned and went home when they got past Ballybofet as the road was closed because of an accident, should be 500+ up for the cup game on Saturday.
I could say the same about that cow shed ye call a stand/terrace above in Utd Park.
Eh, the away terrace in oriel is the worst in the league by a good stretch.
Is it true that some cork fans have reported coughlan to the fai for messing with the attendance figures?

That'd be an excellent away crowd if there was.

Thats oh so very true, Iv never seen the away section of Oriel empty so quick like the way they did a few weeks back. Funny too how Rovers outnumbered them in their own ground last week!
can you craptown fans not keep out of posts about Drogheda utd and get a life ffs .And keep your ill informed b@ll**** to yourself . Rovers brought a great crowd to utd pk but didnt by any stretch outnumber the home support .Your still feeling the effects of all those years rotting in the graveyard while your neighbours were winning trophies .Get over it will you :rolleyes:

It's what they're always called on the Drogheda forums. That or Sh*tsville.
who paid cash at the stiles and were given no tickets so the 3600 official attendance does not include the 400 hoops who didn't get a ticket to scan.
I got a ticket..I still have it..and all 6 in front of me latecomers got one..and another bought a ticket at the opposite end
Although, I wouldn't have said there was 4,000 there anyway

Id say there was close on 2200 to 2400 at oriel tonight! About 20 odd Bray fans, mostly "aul" ones!
Dundalk V Bray
I think this is over stated, I heard a figure of 1,730 as close to an official count.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the advantage to Cork City for fiddling their attendance figures? Am I right in thinking that tickets are not liable for VAT in the south, unlike in the north?

The suggestion on the Cork forum is that TNB is maybe pocketing the cash himself. I think similar is alleged to have happened on the last game of Rovers' old regime.

You`ll really have to be more specific than that, Rovers have had more regimes than a 19th Century Latin American Republic.

Indeed. But it's just another possibility which brendy_éire obviously hadn't though of.

Well it's the Rovers fans claiming they didn't get tickets. Our system involves scanning each ticket to give the attendance, so if they didn't all get tickets then it would seem like the attendance given was wrong, for whatever reason.
People can only then speculate on what the reason for not giving out tickets might be.

Really Candystripe ?
That'd be an excellent away crowd if there was.
We always get a great crowd up there for an F.A.I. cup game Steve, so that may even be an under estimate.
We sold 2,000 for the cup semi 3 years ago up there in October time, so after our demolition of them on Tues we should get at least 500.

Eh...nah.
Anyway 1730 was given on our forum for Dundalk V Bray. (Sorry if it's already posted)

Not when you include the two per seat and the step standing strategy which is an integral part of the glittering stellar business model?

I'll hazard a guess of about 600 in Terryland, with 60 from Longford, although according to extratime the attendance in full was 509

terrible crowd at the game last night, max 300 with about 50 up from tralee, and the game was as bad as the crowd, awhful!!

Irish Times must be well off then! They said 500 with half from Tralee.
Not the official crowd, but 3,300 has been mentioned from a good club source for Dundalk v Bohs last night. Not as big away support as we thought would be there.

How many did you think would be prepared, for the third time this season, to have to travel to Dalymount mid-week to buy a ticket, then travel to D`dalk , be penned into a corner of the ground where one sideline can`t be seen and then be kept back for 20 minutes after each game?
We sold 400 tickets at Dalymount for the game, a good few Bohs fans bought home tickets for the stand and were able to escape the "cordon".
I would think that you will get smaller and smaller away crowds if you don`t sort out better accommodation and away tickets on sale on the night
Yep - our away section is a disgrace, I`ve said that many many times before.
I really hope this is improved for next season.
Fair point

Didn't they just copy Bohs' stand safety model?

There was a lot of Derry fans, over 500 easy.
BTW, we weren't really allocated enough seats. I had stand in the aisle as there was no-where else to go.

Plenty of room behind the goal for ye too, you didn't have to sit.

Think it was more than that though.
Behind the goal isn't really ideal, it's uncovered.
Do ye's normally use that whole stand? It was just rather cramped. Not a massive issue really mind, no safety issue.

Why mention the 130 kids? what has that got to do with anything, they are still in attendance.
100 Athlone fans ?:D Ye, of course there was.
You had about 10 lads singing and id say another 20 or so adults around the stand :D
Dont you just love this league :D

Well I think whats being implied is that there won't be 130 of those kids at your next home game, so that attendance is very worrying, especially as you've hit form again recently, since we beat you.

Mentioned the kids as some clubs dont include free entries in their attendances
Bus of 22 about 30 sitting round them and the rest not sitting in the away section. There were away fans sitting in the section where the kids were

Shocking attendance up in Ballybofey last night. Would say no more than 300 with ~100 Shels fans.
