Would there seriously be that amount of support/interest for a championship side in Dublin against a side who made at least 9 changes to their recent league game?
I was at it. 5.5k is probably a stretch. The Jodi wasn't quite full but the Des Kelly nearly was. Around 4k I'd say anyway.Quote:

I thought the same, but it just shows the pull of the PL - that a recently relegated team (albeit one of the traditionally well supported clubs) has such a pull.Quote:

Outside of the 'big' teams and maybe Leeds I'd say Newcastle would be next in line in Ireland in terms of following of English teams.Quote:

We once got 6,079 against a Man Utd development squad. More because of the name reallyQuote:

Delighted with us having 1,272 last night when you consider Shels brought around 8 people. It's probably the worst travelling support I have seen from Shels.
Not a hint of a pitch invasion I assume?
Seen on Twitter that a couple of coach loads of Shels fans were refused entry to the MF.Quote:

Probably a minibus load of glitter pen waving, 5 1 pitch invading, pavement dancing, hard men.
Going level with Limerick is a big deal guys. I'm surprised they didn't invade the pitch at kick-off.
There were only six of them in the ground! Not enough to even make a Q, let alone invade anything.
461 at the City Calling Stadium, about 80 Galway United fans give or take.
About 80 Galway fans alright but no more 461 than the man in the moon. Not that it makes a difference.Quote:
