The away fans number is a poor guess anyway considering two buses went to the game from Waterford not counting the fans that’s drove. The number was probably 100ishQuote:

Really good crowd in Dalymount, I was a few minutes late and went into the Jodi, walked down to the Pats fans at the end of the stand and it was full the whole way down, good Pats crowd in the Des Kelly as well.
Not sure how long that'll last for Bohs if they keep putting in performances like they did on Friday though
Bohs first half performance was fine. Moved the ball well, created some half-chances and generally were the better team. Second half was shocking though. Thought Garvan was a passenger throughout. Very disappointed.
He mentioned the hostility from 'the (Dlk) fans, the bench and their team'Quote:

City fans - perhaps others, I don't know - have been the targets of missile-throwing on several occasions now: this is the main reason our fans won't travel.
But feel free to ignore that and lament the small Cork crowd.
No one in Dundalk laments the tiny away support. Perhaps, if there were more Cork fans there, your team wouldn't find the ground so "hostile".Quote:

These are the reasons City fans are travelling in fewer and fewer numbers to Oriel. Yet another incident last Friday, a dangerous one.
But, yeah, big up "hostility". Caulfield made some throw-away comments afterwards, referencing hostility. Anyone who pays any attention to what JC says in press conferences needs to go and buy some salt as a matter of urgency.
Your club should attend to public safety first and foremost.
This is all aside from it being unsuitable in the basics in this day and age. But let's not muddy the waters with that.
The issue - for City fans at least - is safety.
I agree with you that the safety of supporters visiting is paramount.Quote:

That aside, it is well acknowledged that the facilities for visiting supporters are inadequate - hopefully there will be some basic improvements in the short term. But please don't expect any tears to be shed over Cork fans deciding not to come and support their team. If that leaves Caulfield and his team feeling greater isolation and hostility, so be it.
I also agree with your point about Caulfield regularly making ridiculous comments that should not be taken too seriously - they are far less important, but much more entertaining.
I can only imagine how his captain is cringing the more he hears of his manager painting him and his team mates as some sort of snowflakes who get spooked by loud noises from supporters.
Not near that maybe 50, I sit directly across. There was about 15 early on and about maybe another 30 turned up about 20 minutes into match.Quote:

About 200 people saw the greatest game in the history of football in Finn Park tonight.
Ok come on detailsQuote:

Both buses were late, one came at half time as wellQuote:

That's a fantastic crowd for Waterford. Looking forward to our game there in a few weeks time.
Didn't think there was that many, not a bad crowd for us on a Monday, Dundalk is one of our biggest crowds of the season these days, shame it was on a Monday, decent enough Dundalk crowd.Quote:

Reduced capacity for the game. Hopefully the Bray game we'll be allowed full capacity. Don't see any reason why not.
What will the full capacity eventually be? Will there be any standing at all outside of the stands or literally just all seating?
From the guidance issued before Dundalk game, and re-issued for last nightQuote:

Course that's only tickets. While the suggested capacity of 3700, seems to have standing for 270. But you may want to find a more recent sourceQuote:
Terrace tickets are not available for this fixture, or any future fixtures in the Brandywell.

1,341 at Limerick FC vs Cork City.
Thought it would be a higher than that.Quote:

2-300 from Cork tonight I'd say.
Big crowd in tallaght, I'd say ~4,500
2215 for Dundalk v Waterford(seemed like a lot more)
Also Dundalk gave an update statement concerning the few ******es who lowered the clubs name in an incident against Cork.
http://www.dundalkfc.com/dundalk-fc-statement/
4200 the number given by rovers.
725 for United v Cabinteely
How many does the main stand in Limerick hold? It looked like a lot more to me but I'm not used to markets field.Quote:

Main stand in Market's Field holds 1350. Thought there was more than the 1341 official number myself.
Not a big fan of Blue Army in the past but credit to them for a great pryo show and atmosphere on Friday night last.
Hats off to the Limerick stewards btw. Nice lads and one in particular made sure to welcome each away supporter. It's a nice touch. You feel more like a customer than a convict.Quote:

Pity they're unlikely to be looking for credit to pay the fines for their pyro show!Quote:
