Big crowd from Dundalk
Printable View
That’s like saying how many attend club soccer games in Louth , Muirheavnor , Bellurgan , Carlingfird Celtic etc which is probably similar to Dundalk gaa clubs .
Louth playing would be a fairer comparison v Kildare , Meath etc to Dundalk - Drogheda attendances . Louth outside of mid Louth and the Peninsula/ border area is a soccer stronghold close to Dublin to be fair but in Limerick hurling and rugby would be top draws by a country mile . There was 82,000 at Limerick v Cork hurling semi final this year .
It's conveniently the same comparison the other way around though. Regularly see GAA fans laud it over LOI supporters saying they see more at club GAA games, when it's entirely incorrect.
The GAA club season is more closer to the LOI season than inter-county in terms of games played, regularity, and competition style.
Looking on V2, maybe 500 Bohs fans in Tallaght, possibly the smallest Bohs away attendance at this local Dublin derby for awhile. Monday night kick-off doesn't help, but I reckon its more frustration with the team and Reynolds!
:confused:
6,119 in Tallaght tonight. Would have been another 2-3k on top of that if it were a Friday night you'd expect.
1,618 in Drogheda
Where did you get that number from?
The camera showed large empty patches in the stand opposite the main camera view and even more behind the goal to the right. The stand behind the other goal seemed fairly full. Bohs support at one end of the stand under the camera the rest of it totally empty. Doesn't make for good viewing for a Dublín derby no matter what day of the week it was. Didn't look like the 6117 officially quoted
Counted that approximate number from the LOITV coverage looking at the fans in the covered terrace on the Windmill Roadside, which is usually allocated to away fans at United Park.
I thought that was a fair estimate unless you or anyone else who was at the game can give any further information!
:)
A crowd of 6k+ in Tallaght would only take up 60% of the ground. The main stand and south stand have a combined capacity of in and around 5k (slightly more I think). That Attendance figure wouldn't have been far off what I'd guess, although I didn't put any thought in it last night.
Pats sold out the initial allocation of 1100 for Tallaght on Friday with more due to be released today. Shels are apparently going to half the usual allocation to 500 for Mondays game there, as they did when they played Bohs at home recently also
The East Stand in Tallaght is around 3,000!

id say the figure of 6000 is right enough tbh and im at most games so have a good feal for it, before it was called out id said 6000 ish.
100% there was around 1000 bohs fans there which considering everything is an impressive support.
Longford Town v Wexford (21st Sept) - at best 300.
Cobh Ramblers v Treaty United (23rd Sept) - again at best between 3-400. Cobh's season has being going downwards for awhile now and so are the crowds.
Behind the scenes there is talk of an injection of funds from a consortium, and talk that if it is accepted by the members, a new manager would be part of the new structure?
With only two home games against Kerry and Bray to come from the final four games, the overall average attendance figure of 763 will not be greatly improved if at all!
Cobh v Treaty 557 on FAI Connect, I doubt very much, I reckon there is a lot of season ticket holders following Cobh..........not ! :confused:
6100 were at the Bohs match , PAts bringing probably 400 extra but arent as big a draw as Bohs for some so id be thinking 6000 max.
Our attendances have been poor for the last few months (in relative terms) the lack of Friday games and breaking the habbit of going for some hasnt helped.
Will be interesting, its a huge game for us and a season decider in many ways so hopefully we get a big attendance
First attendance tonight Drog v Derry 1950
680 in Bray
3080 in Dundalk
4125 in Tolka
2357 in Waterford
460 in Kerry
546 in Limerick
6839 in Tallaght
A good few of us couldn't get over the figure of 3,088 called out in Oriel Park, there were queues almost out to the main road, easily 3,500 there.
and many who bought multiple tickets that couldnt go like myself. So 3000 people there or tickets sales. On this occasion when trying to negotiate with creditors or restructure debt undstating ticket sales might have some use. One game, first at home after the THE crisis. Will even understated attendances bigger than 3000 happen for the remainder of home games???
An hour and a half to kickoff and shels still have home tickets on sale for the game tonight. Makes their decision to cut half the away allocation to add home capacity all the more infuriating
I'm watching it here with 2 work colleague's from England who are over for a seminar for the week
They asked me why Pats wouldn't have brought more fans than they have. I explained Shels have limited the number tickets and they said Shels must be loaded turning down 500 people paying in at 15/20 a ticket.
What's the reason for it anyway? Surely the away end being fully open wouldn't affect the home crowd
Really silly stuff from Shels. We cry about lack of coverage in media, but the first thing you pick out when looking at coverage tonight is a half empty stand for a huge game at the top end of the Premier Division.
It's all about optics and this just looks bad.
