Percentage of tickets away fans are entitled to?

**Rovers Maniac** · 18/02/2009, 10:05 PM

Just out of curiosity? Is it 5%?

**DmanDmythDledge** · 18/02/2009, 10:07 PM

I thought it was 10% but open to correction.

It's never really been an issue for us, has it?

Definitely. Limited capacity of 3,000 until mid-season when they hope to increase it to 6,000.

I hope we're given sufficient tickets for the first game there.

I remember Derry getting only a small percentage for a match in Cork one year, i think it was the league decider.

It was an issue for Bohs title-deciding game against Drogs last year too, wasn't it?

**Trainee** · 18/02/2009, 10:49 PM

i think its 10% for cup games and a little less for league games 7-8%(not 100% sure)

**Trainee** · 18/02/2009, 11:21 PM

What's the plan re doubling the size - is that through terracing ?

I'm very keen to visit the Tallaght stadium myself at some point. Looks good in the photos.

It'll be a "temporary" stand opposit the main stand. There are no immediate plans for behind either goals

Latest on the Rovers forum is that SDCC have gone for the original plan permanent option instead, hence the prolonged period without any alternative seating.

God knows at this stage though, no official word from anyone. With over half the seats already sold to season ticket holders it's going to be pretty tight ticket wise for all the big games. Presumably a good percentage of seats will be lost to segregation for the Dublin derbies too.

I wonder how true that is with SDCC as all councils have had their budgets slashed

It was an issue a few times in the last few seasons because of our reduced capacity .Turned out allright in the end though because teams never sold out there allocation even after all the moaning and bitching .

**Dodge** · 19/02/2009, 9:47 AM

and Drogheda didn't sell out theirs either...

RUBBISH!

Arguments over ticketing arrangements have been an unfortunate aspect of the build-up to the highly-anticipated United Park clash, with Bohs eventually getting hold of the 400 tickets for the away section yesterday morning after a row with the hosts over payment became the latest instalment of their disharmonious relationship.

Those tickets were snapped up by Bohs fans within a few hours, with plenty more still planning to make the journey to Louth.

As a consequence, in the context of disappointing attendances around the country in recent weeks, the FAI were ironically left in a position where they had to send out a press release encouraging supporters not to go to a League of Ireland match.

It is hard to see that being adhered to by Gypsies followers who are unhappy at not securing a vantage point.

While there are safety limits due to the small size of Drogheda's stadium, you would hope that security arrangements can be put in place to facilitate extra Bohs supporters rather than leaving them outside if the home followers do not come out in maximum force.

The incident emphasises the massive problem of facilities in the league when it comes to staging matches of any great magnitude.

Either way, it promises to be an interesting occasion, with Bohs needing three points to wrap up the title at the home of the defending champions.

its cheaper in the long run building a permanent stand rather than renting a tempary stand for a season

**Dodge** · 19/02/2009, 12:33 PM

well the "temporary" was in there for a reason... They wouldn't have been renting
