If that's all were given, then expect plenty to go on Waterford's website and just but direct from there. Many already have.

why would waterford only give cork 150 tickets when there was at least 450-500 Rovers fans in the away section on Friday, and there didnt appear to be any restrictions on the number of tickets.
is there some bad history between the clubs.. ?
Not particularly, but waterford tend to have big attendances for our games, I'm sure they feel they can sell the tickets to home fans. If they can, then it's reasonable to give the minimum to away fans.
That said, the tickets were on general sale online, many City fans have bought already. Its going to be a bit of a mess.
Waterford event controller posted on our forum stating that general admission tickets won't be accepted by away fans. We'll have to go neutral colors in the home section.
The extra tickets were there to give Rovers, general consensus is they won’t be when we play Cork especially with our form. There’s a big interest in the club locally at the minute. The percentage will be more or less the same as the one we got in TC. Club can’t make available seats that aren’t available. People need to realize for the moment the capacity is 3,100.
Not that many tickets have been sold online by all accounts. The numbers I’ve heard are double digits, and there’s no guarantee they all went to Cork fans either. Canceling the online tickets would probably be the logical thing from a security point of view.
The online sales were put off line yesterday. Considering the banner Rovers got into the ground on Friday, seems like there were no search in place so I can’t imagine there’ll much in place to prevent Cork fans entering, not there would be any way to prevent Cork fans entering the ground colourless.
Considering the weather conditions that was the maximum attendance under covered stands that the RSC can hold. If it was a drier night there may have ben a few more standing around the perimeter!
Any chance that some temporary terracing would be put in place behind each goal areas in the future!
There was talk a while back of extending the Cork Road Stand to bring the ground up to 5,000 seats but that will only be considered if the need arises.
There used to be temporary seating behind one of the goals but that was like late 90s early 2000s. I think a temporary measure will be to have standing areas. If we get crowds in excess of 3,000 on a regular basis and qualify for Europe, ground / capacity improvements will probably be looked at. Waterford Council owns the RSC.
Cork fans don't go to away games anyway. 150 will be plenty :rolleyes:
We have received an allocation of 450 tickets from Waterford. Generous enough that. That will sell out.
Extremely generous!! And at the cost of home fans. That's 15% of capacity.
Maybe 500 in Drogheda tonight. I'm sure some Drogs might be a bit more accurate in their guess. Surprised to see around 50 Harps fans travel on a Monday night after the farcical events there last time.
The late postponement previously would obviously have an effect on some people's decision to travel or not. If they can do one game this week they are more likely to go to Athlone, given many Harps fans were extremely annoyed with what happened on opening night and also of course that it's easier for some to get away on a Friday.
I've got my online ticket refunded and got an away ticket. With our allocation sold out, I can see more going for home end tickets. Been awhile since I seen such a buzz for an away game so early in the season.
1,122 at Limerick vs Waterford.
3263 Dundalk v Bohs
good crowd up from bohs(as usual :good:)
Just shows the fickleness of the Irish sporting public, a decent spell for a club with LOI history gets lapsed fans out of the woodwork, who were martyrs back in the day or so they claim but stopped going because of unspecified heinous acts by the club, same fellahs will find done other reason for not going when things go Pete Tong and I am looking at you too Waterford.
Waterford know more then anyone in the league... So why single us out?
No point throwing it at us. Every single team in the league attendance drops when the club declines. The Irish supporting public are best at one thing and that’s creating a and jumping on a bandwagon, proof of that is in every sport in the country!
Official attendance of 1,029 at Terryland Park, around 30-40 fans from Longford.
2,900 at Tallaght, looked like more but still a decent crowd
669 called at Bray.
Would guess 300 City, maybe more.
Anyone get the Pats/Derry figure?
Ah no, definitely a lot more than 800 to be fair. The main stand holds 1,500 and there was a decent crowd in that, although it was sparse enough at both ends of the stand. I thought there was at least around 800 in the New Stand alone, if not more, with a good sprinkling around the ground and Old Stand.
I had an estimate of around 1,200 or so.
1,029 was a decent crowd in the end, but we did little to entertain them.

the carpark there in EDP is a bit of a mess. so much free space inside to park and yet you have to park on the footpath outside on real narrow roads. how could the carpark be full? and yet there is so much free space in there. I don't get it! In previous years to EDP or to Terryland I would never have seen problems like this.
Otherwise I love the ground it was the first time I was over near the tunnel and they did a great job there at the dressing rooms area. Wonder is this Galway FA that is causing this problem? do other loi clubs have this problem also?
Looked like 3,000 at the Derry v Pats game. About 400 empty seats maximum.
