Dundalk gave out 500 free season tickets for primary schools kids for the second year running this season. The move appears to be working well as they obviously need to be accompanied by a paying adult, and there seems to be a lot more kids at games this season. Overall ST sales not including these 500, exceeded just over 1,000. This is the highest level ever. Then again there was rarely a better goodwill feel about the club having won the league. After 3 home games crowds are up by around 800 on 2014. Just a pity the facilities are not better, but hopefully they will improve over the next few years.
Kids tickets are very important to any club, even without the free tickets, it's only €5 in for an under 12 in oriel park, that's pretty good value.

#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
I heard about this, think it was in our game v Pats, adults trying to use child ST to get it, was only a few people but disgraceful carry on all the same.

The problem with free kids tickets is that the clubs have to be strict on a accompanying adult otherwise it attracts a schooligan element, their should be a strategy put in place at league level for clubs to attract more family's.
Drogheda v Bohs official was 1,226
