That's some going, Jonathan Gabay was right, the League of Ireland is cool.

We've reached a whole other level of 'not that bleak'!

Any rovers or Bohs fans know what the away allocation Bohs received for Friday?

1000 tickets ,I’ve just come across it on Twitter…

[sbgawa]

With the seat kills needed to keep muppets of both varieties off the pitch and away from each other id be surprised if the attendance is over 7250.
Still a great crowd

[Nesta99]

How many years is it since Delaney's house of cards fell? Mad how even if little has actually changed when a parasite is done away with things can thrive. It must rankle a tiny bit to see that there was actually LoI potential to be developed and even more could have been siphoned off.

Down to less than 100👍

[Northsider]

The site crashed this afternoon when Bohs fans were trying to get tickets, problem hasn't been fixed. Last I heard there are 650 away tickets left and they will go on sale at midday tomorrow, another scramble awaits.

Was working today and couldn't make the original sale, so will give it a shot tomorrow.

You'd miss the days when you could just get a proper ticket off the club out of their allocation.

Exact same happened Pats site with Rovers away allocation last week. Both clubs use Future Ticketing which may or not be a coincidence.

[ciaraa]

We could have done with a few less of the Scumdalk brigade some of whom didn't condescend to go to the game making arseholes of themselves after.

they truly are degenerates

I believe every club in the premier division bar UCD use Future Ticketing.

Agree re muppets, but idea why they don’t allow the first few rows in the stands? Fenced off. Seen it at some other venues. Why put in seat if they can’t be used?!

[Stav]

Apparently tey are kept for people who cannot get to the top seats or are afraid to sit in high seats. May not be the case in Tallaght but is in Croke Park and Lansdowne Road.

I agree 100% there must be a better way of doing it. each seat covered is €20 down the drain this Friday night.

[D24Saint]

I find it a great system normally. They email you the tickets straight away and they accept Apple Pay.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Drogheda having issues with away tickets for us on Friday also. Future ticketing doesn’t seem to be able to handle any sort of demand in general.

[EatYerGreens]

Here's an idea :

1) Make the first few rows of stands family seats. If you're not there with kids, you get bucked out.
2) Use a portion of the extra ticket income created by selling those otherwise 'dead' seats to hire more stewards.

Too simplistic?

[bohsmug]

Clubs would probably face a bit of backlash if the 'use your babies as human shields' tactic failed

[EatYerGreens]

That's what the extra stewards would be for.

Surely if people were so determined to get on the pitch through a load of kids and additional stewards, then fewer stewards and some cloth over seats wouldn't deter them either ?

[Nesta99]

Identify and ban is the only real deterrent. Stewards seem to just escort them back over the wall or fence to their area rather than heading to the gate. So yeah more and better stewarding for starters. Tbh we all generally know who are the likely culprits, what area of the ground they frequent so where security should be targeted, It's not the occasional attention seeker that runs across the pitch or the streaker we're talking about, its the same shower each time that think they are above the regulations 'cause they think they are essential to clubs. Without realising it they are as arrogant as club directors that sit in their ivory towers making decisions that these fans protest against.

I think the law is the only real way of sorting this out properly tbh. You can identify and ban the knobheads, but then they'll just find a way to sneak back in again after a while. Every steward on every gate can't be expected to recognise everyone who's banned - especially if they come in wearing masks, well wrapped up etc. Plus if you ban the it's really only for home games, leaving them to still cause problems away.

In my view the law should be changed to make encroaching onto the pitch illegal. It's the law in England, and so it;s extremely rare to see anyone on the pitch at games there as a resulr. There is no reason why anyone needs to be on the pitch - especially grown men acting like giddy children who feel it's their right to spill onto it when their club scores. The problem we have in Ireland, however is that the GAA has a long-established tradition of fans being on the pitch at key events - so it's hard to see how you'd get a ban legislated for without expressly stating that it's only for football.

Conversely - Bucking people out of the ground as soon as they go on the pitch would be a good start. Especially if it's a cracking game, you'll feel like a dick being stuck outside when everyone else is inside enjoying it. At an Irish League game I went to in Belfast a few years back, the minute someone tried to step onto the pitch after a goal the stewards grabbed them and marched them straight out of the stadium. No dicking around. All we do is put them back in the stands so they can come back onto the pitch yet again. Buck them out FFS.

Bohs vs Pats was sold out, so whatever Dalymount holds these days

I've been looking for an official figure for Pats vs Sligo but it looks like there was never one released. It was around 4,100 though.

[joey B]

Problems for Shels fans buying tickets at Bohs today,future ticketing might need to invest in their website!

[DCWA]

Shels v Derry - (Both a 2,500 and 3,000 estimate on ET)
Would be very surprised if Shels v us was 3000. About 200-250 Derry a decent crowd in the old away end and fullish home stand would go with 2500 myself.

[EatYerGreens]

I see the League Cup Final in the north this weekend between Cliftonville and Coleraine has sold over 10,000 tickets so far. It's on a Sunday (extremely unusual for NI) and tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for kids.

I don't think we've ever had a League Cup Final with 10,000 at it ? Not helped by the fact we have no club stadia of that size.

Is our League Cup ever going to come back again btw ?

As per my previous quote. These games historically have been on Saturday at the same time as junior, amateur and intermediate games which meant if you played you couldn't go to the game. Maybe the ifa will now see sense going forward.

[SPXcyan]

1,876 at the RSC tonight.

[El-Pietro]

4,240 at the Cross for the first unrestricted Cork Derby in the league since 2008

[nigel-harps1954]

Around about 1,500 at Finn park.

[D24Saint]

Around about 1,500 at Finn park.

At least I’d say. It looked a decent attendance.

What do you mean unrestricted EP. There was segregation in the St Anne's which I thought was unnecessary though maybe it's permanent

[sadloserkid]

Not to speak for El-Pietro but I presumed he specified unrestricted to exclude games from last season's Covid-era First Division games.

[nigel-harps1954]

I was a little disappointed. Attendance will only continue to dip while we slowly figure out how to win a game.

3,600 at DFC v Derry per Dundalk Democrat

[sbgawa]

7448 at rovers, great crowd will be interesting when the 4th stand goes in can we fill 10000 seats

[gufct]

Smallest crowd I’ve seen in Bray for a long time Maybe 400 things seem to be not right at the Carlisle .

[El-Pietro]

Thats exactly righr

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

945 for the first womens game in the Showgrounds. Amazing turnout.

[ToberonaTornado]

100% on this one.

[placid casual]

Good crowds across the league so far, which is great to see.
Really miss having Cork in the Premier just going by the crowd numbers they're getting in the 1st. Hopefully they come up this season.
Rovers haven't sold out their allocation of 500 tickets for Oriel, my guess being a Monday night in the worst ground in Ireland is not that enticing - I'll be there though, but then I've got rocks in my head 😛

[ToberonaTornado]

Awful travelling support cant come down the m1 and the handiest ground in LOI to get to - why wouldnt you? Looking forward to a good match and welcoming some old bad friends back.

[Asterix]

The adult tickets are sold out just kids ones left

Love trips down Cork, them & Galway badly missed followed by Limerick I always enjoyed my trips down there.

3rd worst sir !!!

We got an allocation of 550 - only a few (around20) kids and students tickets left - great support for a Monday night

[redarmyfaction]

Worrying, that one kind of goes against the trend esp as D2 L1 is not the worst start, figures could fall away for all quick enough outside metro areas, not everyone has the huge potential than Dublin has

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Not sure if you’re missing any of these

It was bad but not that bad - I'd have guessed 750/800. Not helped by a shocking away support given our start to the season.
