600ish would have been my stab in the dark for Longford Town v SD Galway.
There wasn't even half that there. 300 ish max. 50-60 from Galway.Quote:

Must say, that is a great picture, the ground looks very nice.
7K announced as the official attendance at the Game in Tallaght which may well be the biggest Rovers crowd as such in the Talla era considering the other 7 k ers had 1k away fans.
1774 at the RSC on Friday night.
Have Longford tried to get fans from the immigrant communities to go to games with the high numbers of non Irish in the town?
Longford invited a number of Ukrainian refugees to a game recently, they rightfully didn't make a big song and dance about it. In recent years they've done the same with the local Direct Provision centre in town.Quote:

Local sports organisations did much the same here in Tralee, so hopefully widespread across the country. I'd say just visiting local primary and secondary schools would be one of the most effective ways to reach out to that community, when children are likely to have better English than their parents, and the families would consume less local media.
A proper schools programme is something I'd really love to see but obviously with our entire team being based outside of Longford it does complicate things.Quote:

Only allowed 2700 as has to be all seated apparently. I thought dundalk played in oriel in early rounds in Europe with standing?? Or am I miss remembering?
In that scenario it would have to be played elsewhere yeah. Richmond is only allowed to be used in 1st and 2nd round qualifying matches. In the past Tallaght has been rented from the SDCC for games against Legia Warsaw, Hannover 96 and Karpaty Lviv. In the years before that, the RDS was used for games against Steaua Bucharest and Hertha Berlin. So yeah you’d probably be looking at Tallaght but I wouldn’t be confident of progression against Mura either way to be honestQuote:

This could be Eoin Doyles chance to shine,and remind everyone what he's capable of.
I wouldn't be holding my breath on that one, he can't even score against the likes of Bohs or Shels he's not going to start tearing it up in Europe all of a sudden.Quote:

That is an unreal attendance for any league game in this country, never mind the 1st Division. They do come out in numbers in Corkville.Quote:

Must have been 3000 at least in Richmond tonight. It could be a tad more.
Drogs Twitter has 2158 for v Dundalk last week.
And are reporting an average support of 1474.
Exactly 7,385 apparently:Quote:

Pretty much impossible to expand on that I presume? Very tight location on all four sides.
Good to see Cork football back on its feet. They are tough gits but vital to have a strong cork side in the premier.
Incredible first division attendance, great to see buzz back around Cork.Quote:

I didn't see either game but I suspect Caulfields agricultural tactics play some part?! *fishing rod cast*
If Galway and Cork both go up this year it'll be a big boost for the PL.
Galway football also having a moment too it seems.Quote:

Actually Galway won 1-0 down here earlier in the season and then we won 1-0 up in Galway.Quote:

About 400-500 of that were Derry supporters too. Would have hated to see what the crowd was like if it weren't a derby game.
Wow ! You'd have thought an early kick-off on a sunny day would have helped the crowd (even if it is holiday season).Quote:

About double that I think …..Quote:

Puke football only makes it worse again.
Estimated 1,500 at Showgrounds last night, I think I read on a Facebook page!
Fans not very happy with the home performance, going by the comments! :mad:

No surprise people aren’t happy. Been awful most of the season and there’s been no change since Russell stepped up unfortunately.
