Yeah I thought there were more too. I couldn't hear if it was 2215 or 3215 and couldn't tell which it was either.Quote:

I know the internet isn't a place for aditting when you're wrong but there were 31 on the bus that arrived a few minutes before half time after a nightmare trip up and 24 on the one that arrived ten or fifteen minutes into the game. I'd estimate another 40 drove (I can name 30 of them offhand if that helped you!)Quote:

These were vocal and came late to game. Its very easy to count when numbers are small. Besides Derry who brought 400 to Showgrounds, the away support has been poor probably reflected by the other teams
geographical position.
Ah here haha I'll leave you to it. I just think it's hilarious fellas trying to downplay fans numbers. I've literally given you the exact numbers on the two buses (55 combined...not huge by any stretch) but you're saying no, there were only 40 ffs. And like I say, that's without adding those that made their own way up.
To be fair, it's a long haul from Cork on a Monday night.Quote:

I hope you counted how many went on buses and how many went in cars.Quote:

As you'd expect really. Grand short trip, bank holiday and rovers generally have a decent away support.Quote:

Indeed, considering we couldn't get a 1/10 of that two seasons ago.Quote:

Wasn’t there myself as I have a young family and work and live in a different county, but tonight is a result I’ve dreamt about for years. Thought it was as the end of the road when Rovers B battered us years agoQuote:

2586 sligo v dundalk
big n' noisy travelling support over from dundalk :cool:
Big crowd from Dundalk, looked around the 350 mark.Quote:

Yeah we'd be expecting higher demand for the Cork game with away fans not having far to travel and hopefully the first dry day of the season. We're hoping to get structures in place to allow a certain amount of standing room like we used to. It's complicated by the running track and whatever FAI rules. Obviously the club wants to get as many in as possible and not turn anyone away, but we'll see what they're allowed. Cork will start with 150 tickets, but if standing is allowed then they'll be given a lot more.Quote:

Not causing trouble but ruining the atmosphere
That's where clubs need to co-operate on match day. A security team from the away club should travel to all games to assist the home team security.Quote:

Considerably less than that at the end of the game.Quote:

The drummer from the Coors is barred from Oriel (real tinfoil hat sh*t) he must have been in the Showgs last night judging by the arrhythmiac racket coming from the away section.
Thankfully most of the FD teams seem to be in the same boat. Our 2 full backs are horrific defensively though, really fear a top team like Galway giving us a good hiding if we don’t click on the nightQuote:
