Though does that count as 6,108 at Tolka ?😜

Rumours of sections of Tolka being closed are greatly exaggerated

But but there is cover in all of the ground!! Its a significant falloff and more likely 'cause of shipping 9 goals in 2 games prior to tonight than the weather.

The results had an effect as did general news a out the clubs situation but you can't rule out the weather. It was torrential. Youd get destroyed walking in and out of the ground. The wind meant certain sections were getting wind blown in on them.

Harps also wouldn't be much of a draw and don't bring many away fans all the way to Cork which is reasonable given the journey.

Overall I was fairly happy with 2300

That's all well and good having covered stands but people would have to think if it was worth getting drenched to get there. The lower level of the Donie Forde stand had very few in it and people were at the back of the Derrynane Road stand to avoid the rain. Of course recent results would give some a reason not to go, but not the main one I suspect.

Myself, I had a 30 minute walk to get through to the get there, and that wasn't pleasant to say the least.

I was in the second last row of the Derrynane, and even there it wasn't dry as the wind was blowing the rain into the stand.

Well I did say more likely results than definitely. There is no doubt that the weather does negatively impact attendances - no more so than at Oriel. It was a bit of a perfect storm for Cork if ye pardon the pun!

That's totally fair I just wanted to explain how bad the weather was. A friend of mine who is a FORAS member but also a teacher decided against going last minute because she was worried about missing work due to weather related illness

**Kingswood Rover** · 29/02/2020, 6:51 PM

ah here thats it in the dog ate me homework class of excuses, 2300 is corks core support hopefully this result galvanishes the team and they kick on we need a strong southern presence in the league at all times.

All official attendances.

Almost 4k avg to the button ! Amazing if we could get this even say 5 more weeks of the season, but as we all know crowds drop off. Brilliant to see.

Any Rovers (or DFC fans) know the total away support last night, I heard between 1k and 1.2k.

**Asterix** · 29/02/2020, 8:22 PM

It was less than what bohs bring, probably in the 900-1000 region.

Actually bohs will probably be limited to less than a 1000 tickets for the game is april. A bigger segregation zone will be needed for that game and the fans in the home end of the east stand last night pretty much went right up to the gantry.

**oriel** · 29/02/2020, 9:34 PM

Fair enough, although I knew plenty DFC fans who got tickets into the main stand, I would tend to agree 1k would be about right.

I'd say no more than 3,000, as there were lots of empty seats visible both in and from the Mark Farren Stand.

It was a better crowd than I'd expected/feared.
