Sensible in fairness, capacity might be on the small side. But it’s still nice to see a full capacity ground. The perk of premier division though, you’ll get huge crowds for LOI when Rovers and Cork come to town regardless how well we’re doing. Wasn’t there myself as I have a young family and work and live in a different county, but tonight is a result I’ve dreamt about for years. Thought it was as the end of the road when Rovers B battered us years ago
Anyone hear the actual figure given out in Drogheda last night. It was read out, just couldn't hear properly.
2586 sligo v dundalk
big n' noisy travelling support over from dundalk
I heard 350-400 from Dundalk, but that's still a decent attendance at just over 2.5k from Sligo.
#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).
Yeah we'd be expecting higher demand for the Cork game with away fans not having far to travel and hopefully the first dry day of the season. We're hoping to get structures in place to allow a certain amount of standing room like we used to. It's complicated by the running track and whatever FAI rules. Obviously the club wants to get as many in as possible and not turn anyone away, but we'll see what they're allowed. Cork will start with 150 tickets, but if standing is allowed then they'll be given a lot more.
Great crowd from us in Sligo but the scumbags that are banned from Oriel were there.
Not causing trouble but ruining the atmosphere
Think it was 541 at CCS last night with zero away support for a local derby. Our attendances seem to be up would’ve only been getting around 300-400 core home fans in recent years but we seem to be getting 500 in now, it’s only a small increase but goes to show what a bit of work around the town can do and a manager who wants to play decent football, even if I do think our ****ty defense will cost us massively this season starting next week against Galway
roddy collins you're a flanker you're a flanker!
The drummer from the Coors is barred from Oriel (real tinfoil hat sh*t) he must have been in the Showgs last night judging by the arrhythmiac racket coming from the away section.
