Yep - it has a charm about it and always nice to visit, C+C - another great spot, always think lovely atmosphere in these type of big pubs outside the city centre, on a Friday night.Quote:

Surely the new stand isn't unsalvageable though and a quick fix can get it up and going again? How much damage could have been done to it?
Should just demolish the other end imo at the very least it'd make room for food trucks and such and at most they could put a temporary stand there.
I noticed that half of the broken seating has been removed from the terracing behind that goal. Has it been established that this structure is unsafe for standing? It looks very solid.Quote:

That was two seasons ago that it was only season ticket holders with bar access included. It cost an extra £40.Quote:

Dreadful night for it and all the confusion really effected the clubs ability to promote the game. All week there was people on social media asking if the game was going ahead.
Looking forward to a big crowd in Drogheda next week for a proper game of football
[QUOTE=Martinho II;2032260]No, it's a new bar built at the back of the Mark Farren stand with a great view of the pitch.Quote:

That all said, it's a crying shame that Bohs and Shels are turning people away in grounds that would have hosted double or triple their current capacities a 10-15 years ago. Great to see a sell-out and a vocal, engaged Shels fanbase on Friday.
Good crowd in Tallaght on Friday too....we could be looking at a sellout on Friday coming. Dundalk end will certainly sell out, if 1,000+ seats are left empty again like last time Rovers will surely be tight for tickets in the home end.
Weekends figures:
Shamrock Rovers v Cork City: 5,106
Derry v Harps: (3,600 estimated)
Shelbourne v Dundalk: 3,010
Waterford v Bohs: 2,419
Sligo v Pats: 2,145
Wexford v UCD: 206
Cabinteely v Bray: (600 estimated)
Cobh v Drogheda: 550
Longford v Development Team: 450
WEEKEND TOTAL: 18,086
Average: 2,009
Average Prem: 3,256
Average First: 452
To Date:
TOTAL: 33,827
Total Average: 2,416
Premier Average: 3,202
First Average: 452
Not as many as expected NavanBohs. At a guess perhaps 20 I stand corrected but I did speak to a Shamrock Rovers fan at half time looking for a match programme as I do some volunteer work with the club. They werent vocal thats for sure.Quote:

Cold night.
Oriels a kip etc :p
Since Rovers B/II or whatever it is called is effectively an U19/17 team it’s only players parents who attend even home games
2,859 in Dalymount.Quote:

Main stand already sold out, limited tickets left for the south stand. Should be a complete sell out for Rovers Dundalk on Firday.
I'm hearing there were 600-700 Rovers fans in Waterford last night, it was definitely a big crowd but can someone more familiar with the RSC say if that seems right?
Atmosphere should be electric as we will sell as many tickets as we are given aswell. After Season Ticket holder sales end today, club only expect to have 1/200 on general sale in morning.Quote:

Shels vs us looking certain enough to sell out. Because (I think?) they allow some home fans in the Riverside Stand now too because the whatever it's called stand is out of use we're getting less of an allocation than we otherwise would have of around 750. Should well sell out before Friday.
We had 1/2 the Riverside Stand Friday and received 800 tickets.Quote:

That'll only drive the demand for higher capacity grounds, especially will put pressure on DCC to get something done with Dalymount and Tolka, and might put a push on SDCC to get Tallaght completed.
...and the next minster for housing to allow a shopping centre/stadium hybrid ;)
Definitely 2,343 confirmed last night for Dlk v Cork. As TT said, that's 900 down from the first home game, Monday's are a hard sell though. Lots of DFC fans like me working in Dublin, others living there, always think anything over 2k is not bad for a Monday.
Friday night, anything under 3k is poor.
To regularly break 3k I always think a good travelling support is needed, of which there is an irony with the standard of the away section.
Weather this week and a poor performance last week will see a drop off for us imo. I know just myself of 7/8 people who aren’t going to bother on Friday. Would be pleasantly surprised if we broke 3k again.Quote:
