For anyone interested, here's the crowd just before half time.. There was 30-50 Bohs fans in the opposite stand.

Many at the Rovers vs. Pat's match tonight?

Pats sold out their allocation. Was plenty of empty seats in same stand on Rovers side and plenty of empty seats over on home side. Thought there would be a lot more at it. The World cup games hit the attendance for a few hundred I'd guess.
Decent crowd in Longford tonight (relative to the norm). Didn't get any figures but looked like about 700-800 to me. Maybe 150-200 Shels dotted around.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
I was thinking the same myself. The stand had a very good crowd in it . Fair play to Shels for sortin out the bad blood as they were quiet tonight singing wise!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
A lot of stewards over their side as well keeping them in their box! But in fairness to Shel's I think they pinpointed the bad eggs after the last time and made sure they didn't get on a supporters bus or make it into the ground if they did get this far.
Their last visit cost Shels as a club a fair bit of money in fines so they weren't going to let it happen again. The FAI were providing stewards as well I believe.

Paid my first visit of the season to Longford. Lovely ground and a decent crowd. Look like going up fairly comfortably and will be delighted to bring 4/500 from Sligo for what was always an enjoyable excursion. Highly amused by the sight of Johnny Mc playing at being a football managerf with arm waving and head clasping and all.
The Shels fans weren't all angels tonight. Heard one or two "nasty" remarks towards Don Cowan from one lad in particular. Longford should p**s that division. Shels were absolute dirt. Id say Galway will finish ahead of them too.

Not LoI but official attendance at Esch v Dundalk was 790. Playing it on Tuesday afternoon didn't help.
Their average crowd was 1,000 last season so 790 is all right for a 1st round Europa Lge 1st leg, played in the afternoon on a weekday, as you said.
And directly clashing with a world cup game too- pretty mental piece of scheduling!

Scheduling was because the ground wasn't available on the Thursday in fairness to them

Trophy Manager - online football managment game - I like it - I think I'm getting obsessed with it though.
Good game to be at too. Ah they still haven't got back to us about the appeal, so i don't know if they have just let it go, or they are just taking their time. And its the Athlone Four. Was originally 6

Our thoughts are with those who died before receiving justice. Free the surviving four.
