Dundalk is more than 10mins away and they brought a decent support :)

You can't compare a trip from Dundalk to Fingal with Sligo to Fingal. Teams around the Dublin area(which is now everyone bar us and Galway) should bring way more to the games in Dublin area than they do.
Or us? Come back in 2 weeks time, if they've come to watch you play again then fair enough.
I wasnt comparing anything just saying that Dundalk is more than 10 mins from Dublin in an answer to a post and that they brought a decent support thats all. Im not questioning the support Sligo had on friday night
Or us? of course you as well cos you were playing us wernt you. A few St Pats fans have been in with our support a few times the last i know about was the shelbourne game at tolka. Point being that all are welcome and they count towards our attendance figures Fingal fans or not.
Athlone Town vs Mervue United Official attendance 402
approx 380 in ferrycarrig park for Wexford v Shelbourne
Approx 2,800 at Dlk v Drogs, lower than expected away supoport (200), and the change from Fri a big factor overall.
Same with us; there's turnstiles for freebies/season ticket holders and for paying fans, and a counter for both sets of turnstiles in the ticket office. I think this stuff about "season ticket holders aren't included" is nonsense alright (with the exception of Waterford, whose system is just nonsense).
2545 at Dundalk Vs Drogs yesterday.
That is now an official attendance for Dlk v Drogs (2,545)
Are there many Cork fans expected to travel up to Athlone next Saturday night?
afaik about 200, 2 buses and those that go by car
I think Sunday is just not a suitable day anymore, people have too many things on. Friday would have been much better, people are used to this now. Lowest turn out from Drogs for years, they only had 200 or so, we were expecting a lot more than that.
Any figures from tonight's games ?
5,500 according to the Indo at the Rovers match.
About 1,000 in Belfield, as many neutrals as UCD fans. 45 Euro for adult and three 11 year olds!!!! Definition of child in UCD is apparently under 10, must be a cannon law interpretation?.
Needless to say wont be bringing the kids again. Interestingly, Bohs got slagged off for ticket prices v Fingal in this Forum because it was err 20 Euro for adult plus 2( ?) kids.
Aye thought Rovers performance was shocking, I was just suggesting the wind didn't help matters ill its early days.
Shels had more fans in Tallaght for a friendly than Pats had for the 2nd league game in Tallaght last season. I expect the same will happen for the next Rovers Pats game in Tallaght...Saying you have sold every ticket for every game in Tallaght is bull****. Pats away support last season was abysmal I'm sure other clubs fans will confirm that....
Considering I had to get a friend to pick me up tickets from Tallaght, as did others for both games because we didn't get one for the away end (sold out) i'd tend to point out how wrong you are there , this year we got 500 sold out very fast and recieved an extra 200 which also sold out.
How on earth do you work out who's a neutral and who's a UCD fan?
803 was the official attendance. I think the half-time teams and their accompaniment came in the main gate and so wouldn't have been counted on the clicker, but 803's official, so I'll be going with that.
Best is to e-mail the club on the adult/child price issue.
Haha this is brilliant, Due to the segregation against Bohs we actually brought the biggest crowd to Tallaght last season and there probably wont be a bigger away crowd this season than what we brought last night, i didnt realise selling all ur allocated tickets and then asking for more was an 'abysmal' support
We absolutely sold out every ticket as I know quite a few who didn't get one for either game. Our away support last year was abysmal for other games. No question
However this thread is about this year, and again if you think last night's efforts will bring people bac, then good luck to you.
I'll happily welcome you back to mediocre crowds
Pats fans were a credit to their club and the league last night ,sang for entire game and mixed well with hoops in the boozer before hand,they will sell their entire allocation for Tallaght everytime,how many they will bring to other grounds is another story .

Good idea of the away support there (and the complete lack of home support at the end)
This pic at this link shows the other site of the ground towards the end too
