Premier
Bohs v Sligo Rovers 4/500
Derry v Drogheda 100
Waterford v Shels 4/500
Shamrock Rovers v Dundalk 5/600
Galway v St. Pats 3/400

First
Athlone v Wexford 20/30
Treaty v Cobh 50
Bray v UCD 10/20
Cork v Kerry 4/500

Longford v Finn Harps 100

Anyone with further info or were at a game might care to add. :embarrassed:

[nigel-harps1954]

It was already posted a couple of times Harps support was around 150 or thereabouts, possibly more with no clue just how many went into the main stand instead of the away area.

[Shearer]

About 25 tops from Cobh in Limerick.

[SPXcyan]

There are 456 seats in the away section at the RSC, it was packed in there, with a solid 200 standing on the "terraces", handily 650 Shels fans there.

[D24Saint]

We got 450 tickets for Galway.

[joey B]

How many tickets do Bohs,Rovers and Shels get for Richmond Park?

[2 Year Contract]

How many tickets do Bohs,Rovers and Shels get for Richmond Park?

1150, as is on offer to any team that can bring that but only rovers and Bohs sell out regularly

[EatYerGreens]

Didn't Derry say they're limiting away fans to 75 this season?

[2 Year Contract]

As EYG suggested, Derry only gave Drogheda 75 tickets.

Sligo sold out their 450 in Dalymount too.

[thebronze14]

About 30/40 Cork fans

[trevy]

I heard there were up to 300 Blues fans in Drogheda last night. 4 of our first 6 games are away so our away fans will be doing a lot of travelling early in the season.

[listowelceltic]

About 10 Bray fans in Tralee last night

[Olander]

Maybe 100-120 Galway United fans in the away section at Oriel Park last night, give or take.

[Shearer]

About 100 Treaty fans in UCD.

[El-Pietro]

20ish Athlone fans at Turners Cross for the Cobh game. I didn't think yo count them when I moved towards their goal fot the second half

[nr637]

Premier Division (Series 2)
Drogheda v Waterford 2/300

Pats have been given 200 away tickets for Derry on Friday, mainly terrace tickets with some stand ones too. Poor form that it’s only 4 days before the game that this has been sorted

[ger121]

About 100 Treaty fans in UCD.

I was down beside them and it looked like 100 to me.

[placid casual]

1,100 tickets given to Rovers at tolka pk, and all sold out supposedly. There wasn't 1,100 away fans there though,more like 950 as it was next door to baltic on the night.

Does that mean the Pats fans are split up between the 2 sides of the ground?

I don’t know but I’d imagine so, I’d say the seats are the same area of the stand that Drogheda got 75 for, with the rest probably being terrace tickets for one of the sides of the Mark Farren stand on the opposite side. That’s all total guess work on my part though, we’ll see on Friday either way, or possibly when they go on sale tonight

[joey B]

Bohs fans banned from Drogheda away after the incident on Friday night,innocent Bohs fans and Drogheda seem to be punished the most there….

Like giving Drogheda a fine of ten grand or somewhere in that ballpark. What would Bohs bringing on a Monday night 500 ?

It would be whatever the away capacity for Drogheda is. It's not a long trip to make from most Bohs catchment areas. I assume Drogheda will be able to allocate that as a home section now and sell the tickets to their fans so you would hope they won't see much if any drop in Matchday revenue. The only thing that gives me pause with that is that it's a Monday night and those games can be hit and miss with attendance for a lot of clubs.

Pats have just emailed saying it’s 220 uncovered terrace tickets, no seats


All tickets on sale are Terrace Tickets so expect to stand for the duration of the game in an uncovered area.

Other Away Clubs in the Brandywell this Season will only receive 75 tickets in a covered seated, we have secured 220 uncovered Terrace Tickets for the game.

Sounds like it’ll be a choice of one or the other for away clubs in the Brandywell this season while works are going on

The ban on away supporters is hugely financially detrimental to the home club .. imo the away club should be obliged to compensate the home club …. Fairest way way to do that is to take average of away support for two matches last season and that would be the compensation/fine ( with nothing paid to the FAI) so assume Bohs took crowd of 450 then make it a ‘blended’ rate of €14 per ticket ie a total of €6,300.

Some seats in the MF stand will be available too.

Talk about adding a can of petrol to a fire, if Drogheda put tickets on general sale for the usual away stand do you really think that Bohs fans won't be trying to buy them all anyway?

[Martinho II]

I dont know about you but what purpose is a ban for the bohs away fans do for the game in Drogheda? Its unlikely a flare would be lit in that game.

[Knocklyonhoop]

Really don’t get away fans ban. Potentially hurting the home team in thenpocket

[Martinho II]

Its the same way with what happened today with Everton. Fine the club is the only effective way.

[oriel]

Really don’t get away fans ban. Potentially hurting the home team in thenpocket

If Bohs took 800 to Drogs (small ground), this is a revenue loss of around 12k for the home club if all paid €15, and none of this their fault.

Ridiculous stuff by FAI, should been a large fine to Bohs and or reduced capacity as their next home game.

[nigel-harps1954]

Playing a home game behind closed doors is the only outcome that would have sufficed here. No point hitting Drogheda in the pocket for this.

[JC_GUFC]

I suppose the only thing is that the last time this punishment was handed down it was Drogheda who were the guilty party, so swings and roundabouts if they lose out on gate receipts.

It's not ideal but with the way crowds are in the league at the moment you don't really want any game being played behind closed doors. Away fans would generally be the most loyal fans and most likely to know who the culprits are. There will be a lot of Bohs fans ****ed off that they can't go to the game in Drogheda now, so in some ways it's a way of getting the issue sorted out in-house.

[Another Bohemia]

Talk about adding a can of petrol to a fire, if Drogheda put tickets on general sale for the usual away stand do you really think that Bohs fans won't be trying to buy them all anyway?

So if Drogheda have tickets on general sale for the home end of the game what's currently stopping a determined Bohs fan for buying a ticket to said end? If the home end is already sold out to Drogheda ST holders or fans Drogheda likely have a backlog of people looking for tickets already and they should be allowed to use the away end for their home fans for this match. If that's the case the likelihood of a Bohs fan getting one is slim.

Basically what you described could happen regardless of the away end being put on general sale or closed off. I know if it was the other way around Bibs would be easily able to sell the 400 odd tickets in the mono stand to Bohs fans.

Where did I say that determined Bohs wouldn't be able buy any tickets in Drogheda home end?

Your idea wouldn't last two seconds with the Gardai. If you open the Drogheda away end for general Drogheda admission then you drastically increase the amount of Bohs fans dominating attendance in the same away section anyway 1) defeating the entire Bohs 'punishment' and then 2) adding additional security risk mixing by Drogheda with general ticket fans with Bohs fans in the away end with vastly bigger numbers than Bohs fans buying tickets in a limited availability in the Drogheda home section

[Shearer]

150-200 Treaty fans spread around Mounthawk.

[Knocklyonhoop]

rovers got a closed doors home game after the couple of clowns in Waterford. Successfully appealed

since then, first Drogs at Rovers and now Bohs at Drogs the team who isn’t subject to sanction is being punished? Nonsense. Rovers Drogs and Bohs all,should have had restricted capacity for Home fans

[Olander]

Sizeable Waterford away support in Terryland Park tonight, 200+ strong at least. Long journey and they played away to Drogheda last week as well, fair play to them.

[nr637]

Due to the ban, Bohs legally had no away support at Drogheda, a bit like UCD's away support of about 10! :confused:

[SPXcyan]

Pats sent back 80 tickets to the club so I'd of said 300+ Pats fans at the RSC on Monday.

[trevy]

70 Waterford fans in Derry last night.

[Shearer]

There may have been 15 Bray fans.

[nigel-harps1954]

Don't think there were any Cobh fans in Finn Park

[kksaints]

Around 200 Dundalk fans in Richmond Park last night.

[nr637]

Don't think there were any Cobh fans in Finn Park
Never say never, there is always 1 or 2 fans that will travel! ??

[thebronze14]

Didn't hear any cheering when they scored apart from the bench. Lad beside me wasn't paying attention and hasn't realised there was a goal due to the eerie silence
