The timeline was very tight from draw to actual match.Flights at short notice or no direct flights to Luxembourg etc....
No doubt a lot more would have travelled otherwise.

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Not everyone has the money to go to the euro away games and especially at that short notice. Maybe if they get through they will have bigger numbers traveling but 100 or so is a decent away following in europe.
How many went to sligo's away match?
Lep how many of you's will be headin' to sunny Portugal?
About 80 of us. We were in the situation that we would have been in Vienna if we'd beaten Vllaznia. (Still hurts) So everyone was waiting for that. Although it did take a flight to Dubrovnik and a 17 hour round trip through Croatia and Montenegro to get there for the majority of us.
Its not actually in Portugal as per say, its out in the bleedin atlantic. There are 267 confirmed so far.
Thats the point , a lot would want to go but couldnt due to various reasons. Im sure that a lot of Dundalk fans didnt just say " Feck it, i cant be arsed going " .
If only they had some way of knowing 8 months beforehand that they would be facing a trip to somewhere in Europe
Here on a technicality.
Sorry to let you down..

Termonbarry Athletic TID!
I think away attendances in Europe are naturally going to be down in 2009 and 2010. There's a bit of a recession going on. I know plenty of people (me included) who would not have missed a Euro game for the world 3, 4,5 years ago but just couldn't justify the outlay at the minute. Still, 150-200 is admittedly not a great travelling crowd for one of the better supported teams in the league.
Without wanting to get petty about it Dundalk took more to Luxembourg than Drogs brought 20 minutes up the M1 on Monday night.
Lep are there really nearly 300 going to follow Sporting?! That's half an average home crowd!

UCD v Bohs 737
Doesnt sound right.
Well thats not true!
Dead right on the "recessionary times" in relation to the crowds though
Its not actually in Portugal as per say, its out in the bleedin atlantic
I heard that the only trip available was for a week, flights alone at 650 Euro and accommodation for five nights on top of that. The one Fingal fan I know of here in North County Dublin thought that there were a couple of dozen going alomg with players officials , Keelings/ Gannon sponsors etc. 267 would be about four times what you brought to Dalymount last Friday, so some acheivement if you can get that number to the middle of the South Atlantic.
BTW , Bohs have sold out their allocation of 400 for the away leg v TNS.
Sunday to sunday was the cheapest and the only direct flights. The other option was through gatwick or lisbon on the tuesday till friday or saturday with coming back on saturday the cheapest option. All in with taxes etc its just short of €800.
No suprise there
About 1,100 at Saints Vs UCD game last night
Here on a technicality.
South Atlantic ? Its Madeira we are going to not the Falklands
Athlone Town vs Finn Harps Official attendance 214
381 at Limerick v Salthill.
Which was a fecking triumph of a crowd given the weather
