    What kind of attendance are Shams expecting for the European first leg home tie tonight against Hibernians (Malta)!

    I presume a crowd around the 4,000 would be a reasonable turnout.

    They should be selling out a game like this really, or damn as near it. Being on TV will probably dent the crowd a bit, but it didn't stop the Bohs game selling out.

    West & South stands in Tallaght sold out for tonight. Fingers crossed a few more walk ups on the night will see a 6k+ crowd.

    should be a 6 k plus crowd, no season tickets tonight, you would be thinking with the new stand coming on stream in 12 plus months roughly the league might see a 10 k league attendance for a Dublin Derby. How long ago was that last achieved??. I also read somewhere recently that the best league attendance at Milltown in the last of the 4 in a row leagues was 2.8k v Waterford. So lets enjoy these crowds of 5,6 and 7 k that we seem to be now attracting.

    6000 would be a big crowd for a European game , i am always disappointed with turnouts for these games as people with Season tickets don't seem to want to shell out particularly when on TV.
    Its understandable i suppose as we have lots of families who go as a cheap night out on a Friday normally but 2 adults + 2 kids + pestered into buying chips snacks etc it €60 /€70 compared to watching on TV.
    IF we can get 6k for the malteese and IF we manage to get through (although with no Mandroiu/Byrne/Burke/Gannon/Farrugia i am worried) we have a shout at filling the place for the second round when group stages would be the reward.

    Genuinely surprised at that, way more than the attendances last year for European games

    Pre-pandemic Rovers European crowds were SK Brann 5,135 & Apollon Limassol 5,524 but we weren't champions averaging well over 5k in the League back then.

    You should get through really, though you'd be wanting to win by a few tonight, as it'll be tough in the heat next week.

    Was at the Armenia away match last month, 32 degrees at KO. The lads were knackered in the final quarter, whilst the Armenians seemed better equipped to deal with it.
    Going back a few years, we had the beating of Dinamo Minsk away, with one goal to put us through. Again, serious heat. If it had been in Ireland, we'd have won.
    It'll be a similar story in Malta.

    Good news. RTÉ should be utilising the news channel for this sort of purpose more often.

    Dundalk sold out Tallaght for the round against BATE when Oriel couldnt be used (i'll just conveniently skim over that the 3rd stand wasnt built then). I'd have expected tonights game to be a sellout or damn close especially with this years surge in league attendances. I would find it a bit odd that season ticket holders wouldnt go to such an important match for their club, supporters that tend to be the most staunch. I agree though, when it is more than the cost of just 1 person then yeah it could push things too high for people and is understandable (few weeks ago burger king and cinema, popcorn+drinks for myself and 2 kids was almost €100 and I was fook that!). Hopefully walk-up and neutrals push things to 7k or more. It a positive that a big game not selling out has raised some eyebrows.

    Good luck to Rover tonight(and to the other sdes over the week). Its always struck me as an unusual if pleasant eccentricity with most LoI fans that old enmities get dialed back for European ties. Results do reflect on the league as a whole even if its hard not to be jealous or fear the financial clout of clubs after. For all the solidarity there may be for LoI in Europe I wont lose any sleep if Hibs are in the next round

    I think this year a % European prizemoney should be redistributed to other league clubs, once off with the whole runaway inflation and costs and stuff!!

    It's better than nothing Nigel but these games should really all be on RTE 2.

    It's these type of games that gets the average football supporter interested and get much more marketing when on a main national station.

    Interestingly, Ludogorets are currently being held scoreless at home to the Montegrin champions, who haven't had much European success since independence.

    Livescore saying they've had 84% possession in the first half, and seven shots to none, so looks like it's only a matter of time till the breakthrough comes

    Hibernians are garbage. Rovers need to stay professional here and really bury the tie tonight.
