The ticket scenario was a joke, I was queing for about half an hour aswell but to be fair we are no better in that regaurd.
As for the view well there is not much Derry can do about that, they can hardly lump us in the middle of the stand and if we were put in the jungle side then people would be complaining about being left open to the elements.

About 700 at the Harps game last night imo. I'll post official figure when I get it.
My guess is about 550. Not a hope it was 300 gael353. We had less than what was there last night all of last season when each game was averaging out at about 480. There was definitely less than 700, no less than 500. Those schoolkids aren't counted, unless they pay at the start.
Official attendace for Harps v Limerick 504.
aproxx 280 guestimate
Great to see a big increase at the Salthill game.
The Shams fans will have the entire Jinks' Ave. stand to themselves next week. Could not believe what i was seeing in Derry last night. We arrived an hour before kick off to find the ground closed and then watched for ten minutes as a guy tried to open the steel door in a turnstile. Were then told to go somewhere else to buy a ticket where we had to queue for twenty minutes. Did the news that the season was starting only get to Derry yesterday afternoon? Left a terrible impression of the way the club is going to be run.
Worrying about away fans match-day view is the least of our worries at the min. H&S have decided to take it upon themselves to reduce the seated stand to 1700, closing off 700 seats. Thats major loss of revenue for us. No reason has been given for this either. Also the wall at the other side of the ground has been declared unsafe and could fall over any time.
The Council are a complete and utter disgrace, but not unexpected from those running the council here
H&S up North is just a crazy situation They have seats closed in a lot of IFA grounds for no logical reasons .
Its ridiculous. The stand at the Brandywell is not that old, I just fail to see where H&S have declared part of it unfit?
Missed the first 15 to 20 minutes of the game in the brandywell.
Eventually they opened the big yellow gates on the opposite side to the main stand.
A couple of guys on the gate snapping the money out of our hands.
Around 200 Rovers ended up on that side of the ground
Couldnt get into the away section.
It was annoying to miss kick off but it was an enjoyable night out all the same.
