Attendances 2023 (Size of away support )

[Munster Saint]

Where does a figure of 380 come from? Are Derry now counting the exact number of seats they are prepared to allow for away fans?
Visiting fans are always allocated seating in blocks A & B in the East Stand towards the North End of the stadium

I'm not sure if there's a 10% rule for opposition supporters, but if there is, those two blocks are probably as close as they could get to it.

[nigel-harps1954]

70 tickets bought by Skerries Town for the game tomorrow so far,probably the biggest away crowd we’ve seen this season so far …

I hope they have decent umbrellas.

sEVERAL HUNDRED wATERFORD FANS DUE TO TRAVEL TO t

[nr637]

Sorry there, some tech issue on my PC.

Pitch Inspection now at 17.30 in TC, Cork to decide if the game goes ahead. A bit late to make a decision considering Waterford FC said away tickets sales are well into the hundreds!

Rumours of the game being postponed and the fixture to go ahead on Sunday with an evening kick-off! :confused:

[thebronze14]

About 100 skerries fans made the trip up

[gufct]

Over 150 gufc fans in the bowl .

[listowelceltic]

Guess of 60 to 70 drogheda fans in tralee.

[Battery Rover]

Think those fans who boycotted never went back. Like the rest of the league there seems to be a lot of young teenagers following them. The LOI is finally becoming cool

Yep fans who are boycotting are still out 8 years later. It's not the same club we all grew up supporting anyways.

~65 Treaty fans in Cobh.

Nothing against the visiting Treaty fans as always all are fondly welcome, but why was the Gardai presence at the ground significantly higher then normal, at least 10 Gardai at one point! :confused:

[listowelceltic]

Maybe 10 bray fans in tralee last night. Being generous at that.

I saw that alright, bit mad. Prone to the odd flare but nothing major.

[trevy]

I'd guess about 25 Athlone fans at RSC.

[Martinho II]

As mentioned on another thread Galway Utd brought 200 down to Bishopsgate!

[2 Year Contract]

1,100 Pats fans in Tolka. When a Bohs fan on here mentioned a good number of weeks back that the allocation has instead from 800 to 1100, I had assumed the fence at the back of the terrace and been moved back but it hasn’t, no visible changes to the away section so I’d imagine shels managed to get another 300 past health and safety somehow. It was absolutely packed in the terrace on Friday but I wouldn’t deem it as dangerous, so it’s good to see capacities rising in the league, even if it’s only by a small amount.

The club bar or chipper van etc is an issue in tolka. The amount of people in the main stand that won’t sit still for five minutes going back and forth is a pain in the neck.

It’s a calculated risk they’re taking in fairness to them. Only UCD have scored less goals at home this season than Damien duffs Shelbourne so heading out for a pint means they’re not likely to miss one ;)

[nr637]

Maybe over 100+ Turkish fans at TC last night for the U21 game dotted around the ground in various groups! Great to see. Plenty of them were students and Turkish people based in Ireland and UK, great colour and noise, well done to them and especially to all the Irish fans that turned out!

I think TC is becoming the choice of venue now for the FAI and the U21 fixtures! :)

Rough guess of about 30 Cobh fans at RSC.

Around 80-90ish Dundalk fans in Inchicore tonight. The away crowd they bring to Richmond seems to be getting smaller and smaller with every visit in recent times

[joey B]

Think I spotted 2 away Harps fans in Cobh this evening!

[Nesta99]

Around 80-90ish Dundalk fans in Inchicore tonight. The away crowd they bring to Richmond seems to be getting smaller and smaller with every visit in recent times

This season now feels like finishing in the bottom half of the league split season - nothing to play for then and the crowd numbers fell off significantly. Ive always felt that Dundalk fans can be fickle and very hard to please. Short memories after that decade in the 1st Division and being not thankful we're mid table premier and building a sqad and a sense of entitlement probably after the SK era. The hardcore fan base is about 1500 imo so not at all surprised by the numbers in Richmond.

Drogheda had around 100 last night

[2 Year Contract]

Pats away allocation (and extended allocation) of over 1000 are all sold out for the cup semi final in cork. Fair play to cork giving more than they’d be required to in order to try help meet the demand

[nigel-harps1954]

Think there were about 15 or 20 Harps fans in last night.

[thebronze14]

Could see a pocket or two in the stream alright

[Mr A]

There was about 20 in or adjacent to (the semi final queue meant being in there was a little weird) the away end and a group of 5 near the away dugout. More than expected TBH.

Those Pats fans will fill about 2 of the 5 sections of seating in the St. Annes Park end, which holds about 2,800. The central section will be kept empty for security reasons leaving another 2 sections of 1,000 seats for home fans.

This arrangement could reduce the TC capacity from approximately 7,000 to less than 6,000 with an attendance for the semi final expected to be hopefully somewhere between 4 and 5,000! The poor form of Cork, an unusual Sunday afternoon kick-off time and TV coverage are factors!

It's presumably three sections of the St Annes End, if there's 1,000 seats given to Pat's, seeing as the bottom three or four rows of seats there are blocked off, and the disability access platform at the back of the stand took a good chunk of seats away from the original capacity.

Cork City took about 10-12 to the away terrace on Friday, was hard to count, maybe a few in the stand, and fair play to each and everyone of them travelling so north on a Monday night and them rooted to play off spot, I don't think I could have mustered such effort if in same boat.

Kudos again to that schoolboy who left his class at 13.30, got to Oriel via 2 trains, a Luas then back to Cork at 4am. Amazing stuff.

Thought I read DFC sold 150 tickets, 70/80 seems v low for a Friday, but coming off a real bad run including hammered 4-0 in cup QF the previous week, it was never going to be anything big.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Im not really sure how these numbers are derived. Derry had close to 500 in the Showgrounds.

They could close off that end totally if the security could be a problem on the day!

Thought I read a Sligo fan's estimate on the night.

That's why the * Always open to updates note is there I guess! :confused:Thanks for your input anyway! :o

Classy stuff by a very small minority of Drogs fans last night, on 3 separate occasions and fire brigade guys on hand, deliberately lobbing flares on to the pitch in attempt to damage it, then throwing objects at lino / 4th official. I will make it clear it was a very small number, but at no stage did the majority step in to stop it.

A PA announcement was made that game would be abandoned (exaggeration granted) but still it was mentioned on direction from the officials, seemed a small minority nasty lot party who travelled up, and we don't usually see that from Rovers / Bohs / Pats, possibly even Shels who all travel in numbers.

Made the win even sweeter, actually it was mostly one way second half to compete 4 out of 4 wins this season.

There's a clip online pf one of their fans standing up on the wall with a mega phone asking for no more objects to be thrown or game would be abandoned and it seemed to be well received. Wasn't there but herself was, DFC need to take a major look at their stewarding arrangements. No way shed heads should have been allowed over to goad away fans at the end. Has been flashpoints behind that goal with Derry fans in the past too. shoddy stuff.

Agreed on that, home fans from Shed should have been let nowhere near the away end last fri at the end of the game, or any game.

But christ that was one nasty element of minority fans Drogs had up at the game, they were at it for most of the match too.

Aye, one of the lads arrived into work and said he'd drove past Oriel and passed several Drogs fans who had their faces covered, never a good sign of someone's intent
