That'll only drive the demand for higher capacity grounds, especially will put pressure on DCC to get something done with Dalymount and Tolka, and might put a push on SDCC to get Tallaght completed.

I honestly don't think full houses at Dalymount and Tolka will put any real pressure on DCC to be honest. The council officers will neither know nor care, and we're still talking small numbers of people here after all.

The Councillors will feel a bit more pressure, but the finances will still be king on all of this - not whether there are 2,500 or 3,000 people at a game.

Was only talking about this as the Dlk v Cork game on Monday, Cork have had the biggest crowds in the period 2014-2018, but they also have the strange one of the biggest drops too, I think 6k + at a few of the Dlk games in these periods (along with other home games) then it dropped by maybe between 2k - 3k. Must have a huge floating support in the city.

Some reports are suggesting Tallaght could see its record attendance tomorrow night for a leageu game. Currently stands at just over 7k, Bohs game last year.

For this to break, Dundalk would need to take 1k (max I would think), and Rovers would need 5,500 with 500 nuetral maybe? Thats a big ask for all groups, but it might happen.

**Kingswood Rover** · 27/02/2020, 12:42 PM

Rovers Got near 5 k last week if you deduct the 200 cork fans from the 5100 gate and on an absolute **** night, Record attendance is a distinct ****abolity

**Asterix** · 27/02/2020, 1:24 PM

Main stand and south stand sold out now, so that's just over 5k already. Have dundalk sold out their allocation?

Not yet, less than a hundred left when I was up earlier. Id imagine they will all be gone by the morning

Is this on the telly ?

**nigel-harps1954** · 27/02/2020, 3:13 PM

Probably only about 7,000 seats though once they add in those ridiculous buffer zones.

**sbgawa** · 27/02/2020, 3:22 PM

The 4th stand which is being built next year will increase capacity to 10000 which is a theoretical 2k increase but will really give an increase of nearly 3000 as the away fans will get the new "north stand" and Dundalk or Bohs could bring 2k fans if the demand was there.
No need for buffers anymore and even the seat kills in front of the south stand could be drastically reduced.

There's been a few pitch incursions in Tallaght since the new stand went up, can understand why they the front few rows blocked off but it's a bit ridiculous putting seats in just to cover them

**Asterix** · 28/02/2020, 3:46 PM

Less than 150 home end tickets left in Tallaght, I think capacity after seats are blocked off is 7500.

**Kingswood Rover** · 28/02/2020, 4:36 PM

To be fair the weather was horrendous. Got absolutely drenched on my walk to the stadium. Fair play to those that came out.

**Candystripe** · 28/02/2020, 11:31 PM

Just over 3,000 at the Brandywell tonight. Sections F G H I J and K were rammed with people two deep standing behind the seats as most of the stand was full. Great 2nd half with a great atmosphere.
