Sligo fans had two sections of the main stand (barrel roof) I would say 90% of seats taken, if anyone who knows Tolka well can put a figure on that estimate. On the bus into town with me I noticed a German father and daughter (who had a new Shelbourne cap on) so a bit of extra revenue there for the club. Do Dublin clubs get much "tourist fans" to their games I wonder. You would notice some at Galway games, but would Dublin with the huge number of flights into the city, could there be a potential target market there?
Pretty much every home game in Inchicore you tend to see a few groups of tourists from the likes of Germany/Holland/England/Scotland, usually a group of lads over for a stag do or just a weekend on the pints in general and the Germans/Dutch are always shocked to find out that you can’t get served a pint to bring with you onto the terraces, but that’s a whole other debate for another day/thread

Had literally that exact same chat with a group of Dutch guys at the Bowl on Friday.the Germans/Dutch are always shocked to find out that you can’t get served a pint to bring with you onto the terraces, but that’s a whole other debate for another day/thread
Won't let you out for a half time pint which like something Hiter or one of them mad fellas wouldn't even do.

Rovers have sold out all their allocations so far this season
Sligo -500
Drogheda -600
Shels -850
Dundalk -500
Bohs -450
Pats -1150
The Maine Stand has an approximate capacity of close to 2,000 with the usual away allocation of 200, so lets estimate the Sligo fans were numbered between 150+ ?
What is away the capacity of each club? I believe where possible it has to be 10% percentage of the ground capacity? But is that actually the case throughout the league?
A good question that, I know the away end of the RSC has been reduced considerably, makes sense since Cork aren't going to fill it this year, I'd say roughly 200 is the current allocation.
Pats is around 1150 with the shed end behind the goal and section A of the main stand. Tallaght was around the same for us and Shels was around 800 last year.
About 30 Treaty fans in Finn Park tonight. Great credit to those who travelled.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Bohs have exactly 450 I believe with an official capacity of close to 4,500
Was surprised to see so many considering how they are doing. Second only to Galway for away support this season at Fp
