There will definitely be away fans in attendance tonight. If they wear neutral colours and don’t cause any bother then no harm in it. I go the home end away occasionally for a better view of the game.Quote:

Edit: Late arrivals, filling out a little bit. Could maybe reach 1,500+
I was always wondering Tallaght Saints is this hidden terminology for Shamrock Rovers especially for tonight!?
Despite all the conspiracy theories Rovers did receive an allocation in the main stand. They must be the well got Rovers fans , must be around 100-150
Not a ticketed allocation, the 50 or that were there in the cordoned off area were for club directors/officials etc that every club gets/got, even in the behind closed doors games earlier in the yearQuote:

2,200 tickets available at the Brandywell but 214 unsold. 1,000 of the tickets went on sale 48hrs before the game with very little publicity.
Sponsors "apparently" (and rightly so got) *** tickets.
Estimated attendance 2,460.
Jeez it's good to be back on this thread.
170 tickets weren't sold.Quote:

I imagine that there wasnt many away fans at it with the lack of interest with our season being crap. Any other year I would ave went but none of my pals will go so why should I?Quote:

Dundalk don't seem to be announcing attendance, probably due to restrictions still in place, but some crowd there last night and queues outside which was great to see. Front of stand closed off as thats close to the dugouts, and SD in place in the stand, but the shed was packed, and decent crowd town end terrace of the stand and behind goal, to be fair decent support down from Bohs too.
Hard to put an estimate, but I would think 2,500 ?
Great to sell out the game, but no tickets available for Derry fans is the wrong move, in my opinion.Quote:

I agree we should have sold 150 to Derry.
Its hard though to explain to Rovers fans who want to get in that we are letting Derry fans in instead.
Pats did the same last week for the Rovers match.
22nd of October cant come soon enough when we can go back to full capacity
Just in time for Harps fans to get into Tallaght.
Did not look like 4 k last nite and the atmosphere possibly a little flat but the football and passing from both teams was really good gas to hear people shouting to boot that ball forward cave man style them days is over folks. Ferrugia looked good when he came on. Yes we are not as a good as the last year but everyone on the team bar Lopez and he has really upped his game is so comfortable on the ball, next season should see this team really click.Quote:

Didn't hear any figure from Finn Park on Friday, but reckon it was about 1,700 or thereabouts, with about 80 Dundalk fans. Decent crowd given the horrible rain.
same could be said of our last match before lockdown. Dundalk had 1k and some Rovers fans didn’t get tickets.Quote:

didn’t like the silence when Derry scored. It’s just not proper!
we’ve had away fans in earlier matches. Was that a condition of the ‘trial’?
From wot I heard at game unofficially there was a serious mixup by club from a close Bohs friend at the game. We have noone to blame but ourselves imo.Quote:

Top clash between Dundalk/Shams attracts 1800+, while Cork City still emerging from their amazing fall from grace had over 1500+ at the 'Cross last nite against the bottom club in the first division.
Sleeping Giant or wha!
Sleeping giant? More like still sulking giant!! 1500 is a serious fall from the old average of the budgeted for 20k at every game...Quote:

Nice attendance for a dead rubber game.Quote:

In fairness, there was a good atmosphere at the game and Dundalk fans sang continuously despite what has clearly been a poor season.Quote:

1800 on the button was the reported or 'allowed' attendance, seemed to be social distancing in the seating in the stand, but the shed was jammers, and fair amount of home fans in away end, and in other areas over the ground. I would estimate close on 3k.Quote:

It's good for Dundalk fans to get to experience the 'joys' of the away end at Oriel :DQuote:

You assume that we dont. I loved being back standing in our old spot!Quote:
