How many City fans at Tolka?
Can I ask why Cork City fans continuously use the term 'City' - you do realise there is another single club city in LOI with that name, seems quite odd to almost want to franchise the term.Quote:

Can any Bray Wanderers fans comment on the away numbers for Dundalk at the Carlisle on Friday, some are saying 500+, but that sounds a lot, then again a lot of Dundalk fans live in Dublin area.

I know when longford packed that end for play offs in 2013 we would have had 300-400 there so 500 might be slightly over estimated but still a serious support none the less.Quote:

I think it's pretty reasonable for a Cork City fan to use the term for the club they generally use. You seem to have picked up from context that they were talking about Cork City.Quote:

That's pretty incredible to be fair for a first division away crowd. Potentially the novelty of getting to grounds a lot won't have been to in a long time will play a part in bigger travelling supports for Dundalk this year seeing as it looks like it'll be a brief stay in the first division. Either way the Dundalk fans are a credit to their club
Probably has more to do with being given a rattle out of complacency. It's an unwanted novelty. Helps when yer winning, and a team looks fit and organised. I'd like to think a young squad will be cut extra slack during the inevitable ups and downs.
Roughly a quarter of your home support travelling away is phenomenal, regardless of the division. We (GUFC) just don't have that tradition in the club around away games. A couple of away games in Europe next year might improve that!
Can you get a train direct from Dundalk to Bray? Certainly one of the handiest away trips for anyone living in DublinQuote:

The Shedside army lads have already booked their flights to the second Kerry away game in July, a good few of us looking at it too, but its hitting family holiday scene, avg age of the new wave of the regular fans is mid 20's - less commitments but they seem to be all over these away trips thats for sure.Quote:

A lot of this surge in away support is def the novelty factor.
Similar for Rovers in our Discover Ireland season. Upwards of 1,000 away fans for big games (Cobh) and regularly took 6,7 or 800 away when our average home attendances were not much more. A combination of the fans takeover and the novelty of the First Division turned a grim time for the club into one of the most enjoyable seasons for fans.Quote:
