Attendances 2021

[Candystripe]

I imagine that there wasnt many away fans at it with the lack of interest with our season being crap. Any other year I would ave went but none of my pals will go so why should I?

Spoke briefly to a few as they passed Maileys bar just before the game. They seemed happy 🍺 but yes, compared to the normal decent crowd you's bring it looked less than 20 fans there.

Rovers match this Friday against Derry is sold (4,000) out

[oriel]

Dundalk don't seem to be announcing attendance, probably due to restrictions still in place, but some crowd there last night and queues outside which was great to see. Front of stand closed off as thats close to the dugouts, and SD in place in the stand, but the shed was packed, and decent crowd town end terrace of the stand and behind goal, to be fair decent support down from Bohs too.

Hard to put an estimate, but I would think 2,500 ?

[placid casual]

Rovers match this Friday against Derry is sold (4,000) out
Great to sell out the game, but no tickets available for Derry fans is the wrong move, in my opinion.
100-150 tickets for them in the square end of East stand could and should have been accommodated.

[sbgawa]

I agree we should have sold 150 to Derry.
Its hard though to explain to Rovers fans who want to get in that we are letting Derry fans in instead.
Pats did the same last week for the Rovers match.

22nd of October cant come soon enough when we can go back to full capacity

[Finlay Harp]

Just in time for Harps fans to get into Tallaght.

[Kingswood Rover]

Did not look like 4 k last nite and the atmosphere possibly a little flat but the football and passing from both teams was really good gas to hear people shouting to boot that ball forward cave man style them days is over folks. Ferrugia looked good when he came on. Yes we are not as a good as the last year but everyone on the team bar Lopez and he has really upped his game is so comfortable on the ball, next season should see this team really click.

[ger121]

How did Longford only give Bohs 250 tickets when the rest of the ground was virtually empty? Do they not like money? I thought that was only a Bohs thing.

[nigel-harps1954]

Didn't hear any figure from Finn Park on Friday, but reckon it was about 1,700 or thereabouts, with about 80 Dundalk fans. Decent crowd given the horrible rain.

same could be said of our last match before lockdown. Dundalk had 1k and some Rovers fans didn’t get tickets.

once it’s 50% or more, away fans imo should get 10%.

didn’t like the silence when Derry scored. It’s just not proper!

we’ve had away fans in earlier matches. Was that a condition of the ‘trial’?

[Martinho II]

From wot I heard at game unofficially there was a serious mixup by club from a close Bohs friend at the game. We have noone to blame but ourselves imo.

[D24Saint]

2100 at Finn Park....

That’s a smashing crowd. Id imagine that’s well up there for recent years ?

[joey B]

Sorry I think someone asked what the capacity was at the minute and it’s 2100 at Harps,we got over 1700 for the cup game the other week which I think is the biggest we’ve had this season..

[2 Year Contract]

Anyone know what the attendance in Drogheda was? The home stand under the camera opposite us was absolutely packed bar the 50 or so seats closed off for an extra RTE camera up on scaffolding. Pats were given 200 tickets and I couldn’t see the little seated stand on our side although I think it’s just for subs and journalists. Overall looked way more than 50% capacity anyways

Top clash between Dundalk/Shams attracts 1800+, while Cork City still emerging from their amazing fall from grace had over 1500+ at the 'Cross last nite against the bottom club in the first division.
Sleeping Giant or wha!

Sleeping giant? More like still sulking giant!! 1500 is a serious fall from the old average of the budgeted for 20k at every game...

[El-Pietro]

Attendance was 1,809 at the Cross. End of season game with nothing to play for against bottom of the table Wexford. Happy enough with that.

Nice attendance for a dead rubber game.
Covid attendance %'s etc and the capacity of your/our stadium may have been a factor in our attendance being only 1800(and was sold-out)

In fairness, there was a good atmosphere at the game and Dundalk fans sang continuously despite what has clearly been a poor season.

Possibly also to do with Dundalk being a small enough club with small enough support anyway no?

[Nesta99]

All LoI clubs are small enough with a small enough support anyway no?

1800 on the button was the reported or 'allowed' attendance, seemed to be social distancing in the seating in the stand, but the shed was jammers, and fair amount of home fans in away end, and in other areas over the ground. I would estimate close on 3k.

I did see the game but only fastforwarded parts of it. Was there a ban on away fan travel?

Not a ban as such, tickets did not go on sale online to allow home fans make up the 1,800 'limit', this meant there was the unusual sight of home fans on both open seating areas each side of the stand. The only other occasion home fans go into away end is early euro round games.

I did actually see 2 Rovers fans walk out, but they were with DFC fans, so obv a connection, I`m sure a few made it into the stand also, and nothing wrong with that if they did.

It's good for Dundalk fans to get to experience the 'joys' of the away end at Oriel :D

As mentioned many times before, its not that much better the other side of the stand, as can't see the far corner either.

But the joys were at least real this time as the home fans had full access to the lilywhite lounge via the away end, and it only fully re-opened that night !

[Nesta99]

You assume that we dont. I loved being back standing in our old spot!

[SPXcyan]

1718 official attendance at the RSC, as always, there seems to be more, but anyway, it's good to see.

[nigel-harps1954]

Certainly felt like a lot more than that in RSC. Was a very healthy attendance. Good to see.

[pineapple stu]

Maybe 600 at UCD v Cork. Possibly a bit more; stand could have been half full all told (ie 750)

Lot of students there so must have been a promo on campus. Shame the second half was so bad after all that then

[osarusan]

Somebody connected with Treaty was on the pitch last night at halftime thanking the fans and everybody else for the season, and he mentioned there were nearly 2000 at the game. No actual numbers resleased, but it was busier than it has been for quite some time.

[Calcio Jack]

Statement below from Bohs re tickets…. So let me understand this ; “I think what you did was wrong therefore I’m going to do the exact same..”

Is it not the case that now that stadiums are allowed to revert to full capacity they’ll be obliged to give us an allocation ?

We were disappointed not to get any tickets for Oriel the other week but accepted that home fans needs came first as was our case last night .

Of course the real story is they are trying to deflect from the FAI investigation into their failure to manage the match day security etc. when we met in the cup recently.
————————————————————
Bohemian FC was disappointed not to receive any ticket allocation from Shamrock Rovers for last night’s Dublin derby at Tallaght Stadium.
Since restrictions eased to permit 50% capacity at outdoor sporting events, Bohemians have given every club we have hosted – Maynooth University Town, Finn Harps, Derry City and Dundalk – the allocation they have requested up to and including 50% of the Des Kelly Stand.
Similarly, now that 100% capacity returns this week, Waterford, Friday’s opposition in the Extra.ie FAI Cup semi-final, have been allocated the Des Kelly Stand in its entirety.
Before permitted capacity went up to 50%, all clubs’ priorities were, of course, their own fans, in particular members and season ticket holders who remained loyal despite not knowing whether they would be able to attend a game this season.
But Monday was the first Bohemians game – either home or away – that there were no away fans in attendance since the 50% permitted capacity was introduced, despite the Tallaght Stadium being able to hold more spectators than any other ground in the league.
As a result of this decision, Bohemian FC can confirm that we do not intend to give Shamrock Rovers a ticket allocation when the sides meet at Dalymount Park in November.

[Jack B]

Bohs love a big song and dance don't they. Rovers done the same to Pats and Derry off the top of my head and we returned the favour as well.

You've some active imagination lad. You gave us no tickets, we returned the favour. Hopefully you might stop being petty next season and we can get away fans back.

We got no tickets from Duns or Pats etc. As they and lots of clubs simply catered for their fans recently which is sensible and accepted by all bar yourselves as being rational and reasonable … but you complain about that approach and then do the same…. So nothing imagined but simply stating the facts ;

so continue acting in a petty manner if you like as demonstrated by your clubs ill conceived statement and we’ll let the wider audience make their own judgement .

PS- the referring to me as ‘lad’ really exposes your churlish small minded mind set but if it makes you feel good about yourself so be it …. It spoke volumes to me

[DCSIL]

Can’t beat a good Bohs - Rovers Spat.

You gave us no tickets, what did you expect Jack? :)

No point whingeing about us doing likewise. Next time, just let away fans in and put an end to your childish nonsense.

No ones whinging ( well not me anyway) and if you can’t see inconsistency of your clubs position vis a vie us and also how out of kilter it is with the way other clubs have behaved ( ie like us catered for their own fans ) so be it… horse water drink.. so I’ll leave it there and leave you concentrate on some other imaginary slight that has offended you and then you can react and retaliate by doing the same .

It's as simple as this, you gave us no tickets, we returned the favour. End of story.

[DCWA]

Surely there is an obligation to give x% when stadia are at full capacity?

Imo Rovers have been wrong not to give away allocations (they didn’t even sell out last night?) but they have been consistent and had the restricted numbers to fall back on.

It stinks of being petty from the “Big (Screen) Club”

[Nesta99]

True, they are quite sensitive souls tough.

[Longfordian]

I miss the Cork and Dundalk spats myself.

Pats gave us no tickets as did Dundalk as they wanted to cater to their own fans fair enough
We gave you no tickets and you aren't giving us any fair enough, that should have been end of story.
The reason it wasn't end of story is that your club decided to issue a whining statement about it.
You can try to walk back from that if you want but whingeing isnt a good look.

The commissariat running the "big Screen club" these days are more worried about social media than results hence the whinging.
I thought there was a 5% minimum allocation for fans in the participation agreement for the clubs that was set aside during covid but should revert once capacity goes back to 100% but i could be wrong.
With capacity at 100% i have no doubt away fans will be welcome back in Tallaght at all games.

[Northsider]

No point crying about it lads. You decided to play silly games and this was the inevitable outcome.

Last Friday in Dalymount we had a large contingent of Dundalk fans loudly get behind their team and they added to a great atmosphere which has been missing at grounds for too long. Football the way it should be.

Then on Monday the Shams decided to be petty, they couldn't even sell out their home allocation and a sterile atmosphere was produced.

I hope some sanity prevails over in Tallaght next season as their decision to lock out away fans is shocking and can only have negative consequences.

I hope the Shams fans on here lobby their board to see some sense. Its sad seeing them carry on like this.

You really dont read before you post.
Pats didnt allow fans in
Dundalk didnt allow fans in
Rovers didnt allow fans in
Bohs arent allowing fans in......but bohs are the only ones having a Whinge fest about it issuing statements .

Are you hoping for Sanity everywhere next season or just in Tallaght?.
Feel free to lobby your board to allow away fans in now that capacity is back at 100% btw as Bohs will be the only club not allowing away fans in with capacity at 100%.

The only whinge fest is from you boys on here and on social media. I'm perfectly happy with the decision the board made, and delighted with the concise statement released outlining the decision. :)

You acted the maggot not letting away fans in, despite having the biggest stadium with the best facilities. No point raging about it when other teams do likewise.

OMG !
No one is raging except your amateur hour club issuing official club statements whinging,,,,that is the point you keep missing..
Supporters on social media are not official club channels.
Pats , Rovers, Dundalk just getting on with business and looking after their own fans when restrictions were in place and NOT issuing whinging lengthy official communications.
Bohs ........er yes
