401 Longford V waterford - 50 plus from Waterford
Derry-Bray: Sold out at 1,574.
The NW derby on Good Friday will be tricky. Harps may only get ~80 tickets. Although it's inevitable some will buy home tickets from the Donegal outlets. Would be a great game for the likes of Eir Sport to show as there will be a lot of people wanting to see the game that can't make it.

I was thinking more about home fans, but its a pity there won't be more Harps fans at this game. You'd love to see 3/4000 at games where possible and its a real pity that we have a situation like this and people are locked out of a game. Crazy in LOI terms but circumstances dictate.
Yeah- Derry could probably easily sell double the capacity themselves before you even take us into it. So it would be great if it were on the box.

Maybe if Ireland's national sports weren't the only ones in the world run by an organisation which actively discriminates against and blocks certain other sports, then you'd have a few thousand more at Derry games held in the town's Celtic Park - not in a small 'stadium' in a small town 30mins away.
Not really, people know the craic at this stage. If you don't get your ticket in advance, you likely won't get in.
We'd definitely have more at games if the capacity was higher though.
Maybe if we had approached said organisation officially and with a proper business case, instead of casually asking a club in the city to make the case for us, we would have a few thousand more.
Or maybe even if we had asked to use that 3,100 capacity football ground barely 6km from the Brandywell, wouldn't that have been an idea now.
But, alas, no. Buncrana every other week and Sligo for European matches it is.
I still don't understand why the games aren't being played at Institute!
Is it possible that Derry would have more fans from the Inishowen peninsula than they would from the Waterside of the city? If so, it might back up the argument that by playing in Buncrana for a season they're re-inforcing ties with that section of their supporter base, and probably capturing new fans from Inishowen too...
