Jebus what childishness from the Duns fans. As childish as the "craptown" taunts I'd say

The suggestion on the Cork forum is that TNB is maybe pocketing the cash himself. I think similar is alleged to have happened on the last game of Rovers' old regime.

Wow - disgruntled fans make unsubstantiated allegations against an unpopular figure!

You`ll really have to be more specific than that, Rovers have had more regimes than a 19th Century Latin American Republic.

25 Bray fans in Oriel, Not the 15 reported previously

Indeed. But it's just another possibility which brendy_�ire obviously hadn't though of.

Well it's the Rovers fans claiming they didn't get tickets. Our system involves scanning each ticket to give the attendance, so if they didn't all get tickets then it would seem like the attendance given was wrong, for whatever reason.

People can only then speculate on what the reason for not giving out tickets might be.

That'd be an excellent away crowd if there was.

We always get a great crowd up there for an F.A.I. cup game Steve, so that may even be an under estimate.

We sold 2,000 for the cup semi 3 years ago up there in October time, so after our demolition of them on Tues we should get at least 500.

Eh...nah.

Anyway 1730 was given on our forum for Dundalk V Bray. (Sorry if it's already posted)

Might have to start rounding down those Rovers figures

Not when you include the two per seat and the step standing strategy which is an integral part of the glittering stellar business model?

**gufc2000** · 14/08/2009, 9:16 PM

I'll hazard a guess of about 600 in Terryland, with 60 from Longford, although according to extratime the attendance in full was 509

**Green&whitearmy** · 15/08/2009, 10:50 AM

terrible crowd at the game last night, max 300 with about 50 up from tralee, and the game was as bad as the crowd, awhful!!

Irish Times must be well off then! They said 500 with half from Tralee.

**oriel** · 15/08/2009, 5:55 PM

Not the official crowd, but 3,300 has been mentioned from a good club source for Dundalk v Bohs last night. Not as big away support as we thought would be there.

I would have said 300-400 tbh.

How many did you think would be prepared, for the third time this season, to have to travel to Dalymount mid-week to buy a ticket, then travel to D`dalk , be penned into a corner of the ground where one sideline can`t be seen and then be kept back for 20 minutes after each game?

We sold 400 tickets at Dalymount for the game, a good few Bohs fans bought home tickets for the stand and were able to escape the "cordon".

I would think that you will get smaller and smaller away crowds if you don`t sort out better accommodation and away tickets on sale on the night
