United Park capacity?

[OneRedArmy]

Simple Maths here, but if we take our allocation of 400 people the home fans only get 1100 tickets? That's a disgrace. It's a fixture I always go to, but I'll give it a miss. I'd be taking a genuine supporters ticket. It looks like it is not the clubs decision but a protest of some sort should be made on Friday from the Drogs fans.Those two lines are contradictory. Don't you consider yourself a genuine supporter?!

The only option is to screw someone, either the away fans or the home fans. I'd say 250 tickets for Derry is probably enough, we won't bring the 500 odd we did at the end of last season.

Its hard to believe that this is completely unconnected with the bigger picture about the new stadium and the land re-zoning.

No way there are 1800 Hard-Core drogs fans. A few times last year you had attendances in the hundreds.

name me one game when we had fans in the hundreds :confused:

[Student Mullet]

name me one game when we had fans in the hundreds :confused:I remember a game about 5 or so years ago where your fans didn't number in the hundreds. You had about 20.

For my sins I have been a genuine supporter over the years. But seriously, I hear what your saying. Put it this way, I wouldn't like it if the shoe were in the other foot at the Brandywell. I know what it's like not being able to get a ticket for a big game ie Cork two seasons back and I appreciated the fact that it was a limited allocation. But a home game? I'd be well ****ed off. I'd rather not go than deprive a Drogheda fan - that's just my preference at the moment.

Anyhow, what's to say they won't reduce the away allocation when Derry fans get down there? I'll not take my chances about getting turned away in Drogheda. I don't like being shafted and I am thick fecker if someone tries to, so it's better for myself and the club if I stayed at home;)

depends who were playing.aparently the latest word is away fans get 75 tickets and we get the rest

What happens if use get us in the cup??? we could bring 1,500 easy. Use will have to switch it to the home of football

This is a run of the mill league game between two also-rans and it's on TV. The only reason there might be a crowd is if you tell people they can't get in.

Clubs should insist on their full entitlement of away tickets. 75 is a joke

Will he get many bites?:p

75 = 5% of 1,500
That's the minimum any club is obliged to provide.

[mickdlk]

yeah ye did.i only said 75 to wind up a few people for a laugh i needed cheering up yesterday:p and as for dundalk in the cup?why would we move the game all the way to wembley:confused:

HA HA :)

[CollegeTillIDie]

think there was 1,800 at the ucd game .All drogs as no away fans .
Not true, there was a small contingent of UCD fans. If you include everyone who travelled to the game in support of UCD it was around 20.
But it's the same old story with Friday night football sometimes, if you live in Dublin , you can get off work early and make it to United Park, other times it's not possible. I couldn't make it this time.

I'm sure Bohs would gladly oblige. They could do with the money. :D

Peadar Predicts: Bohs to win the league (If they take their chances of course)

Also Cork to be cricket world cup champions. :rolleyes:

If Drogs stadium plans drag on into next season, will the fai offer another premier licence based on this being built or was this seasons licence a temporary one for 2007 season only ?

ps i`ve been to utd park over 10 times, there is no way its unsafe beyond 1,500, maybe 2,500 even 3,000, but 1,500 is a joke.

Both terracing areas are quite steep but not exactly 1950's style.
