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:
