#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).
Tolka presents an even tougher situation for bohs now, will be a not insignificant decrease in capacity when (if) they move there temporarily for Dalyer to be redeveloped.
Surely the new stand isn't unsalvageable though and a quick fix can get it up and going again? How much damage could have been done to it?
Should just demolish the other end imo at the very least it'd make room for food trucks and such and at most they could put a temporary stand there.
Didnt know that Ryan McBride stadium has a bar?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

[QUOTE=nigel-harps1954;2032064]Most of the bar ones were probably Mark farren stand seats? Thought there were a good sized amount of seats empty there, but did notice a good few up in the bar area.
That was two seasons ago that it was only season ticket holders with bar access included. It cost an extra £40.
Est of 450 at Bishopsgate last night. No sign of the big Rovers following we were all told would follow this team, shock.
Dreadful night for it and all the confusion really effected the clubs ability to promote the game. All week there was people on social media asking if the game was going ahead.
Looking forward to a big crowd in Drogheda next week for a proper game of football
How many away fans were in Longford on Saturday night?
206 at Wexford v UCD
Would Tolka be a significant decrease in capacity v Dalymount? Over 3,000 there on Friday, plus the Lego stand should hopefully be back in operation before too long, pushing capacity towards 4k, which must be similar to Dalyer.
That all said, it's a crying shame that Bohs and Shels are turning people away in grounds that would have hosted double or triple their current capacities a 10-15 years ago. Great to see a sell-out and a vocal, engaged Shels fanbase on Friday.
Good crowd in Tallaght on Friday too....we could be looking at a sellout on Friday coming. Dundalk end will certainly sell out, if 1,000+ seats are left empty again like last time Rovers will surely be tight for tickets in the home end.
