What sort of attendance expected in Tallaght?

Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
How are the kick off times determined, has it been laid out?
It seems strange that it's 17:45 in Tallaght, yet 20:00 in Belfast and also for APOEL in Nicosia (22:00 local time).
Also, Vikingur have got a 14:30 KO, but there must be an explanation for that one.
It's never been the case that an international match in Dublin/Belfast has kicked off in an earlier slot, so what's the difference for clubs?
AFAIK it's tv dictating the more interesting ties get the better tv broadcast times. Tahst what I heard anyway.
A 17:45 kick-off in Tallaght, TNS not exactly an attractive team, live on TV and Shamrock fans still down after missing out on a 5 in a row league title are all possible distractions!
5,000+ would be a good turnout!
7pm tonight in the Bowl too - UCD looking to turn around a 2-1 deficit against 2 Korriku of Kosovo in the Youth League. Maribor or Dinamo Kyiv for the winners in the next round; they drew 1-1 in Poland in the first leg
Every week some of the Europa League and Conference League games kick off at 545, the rest at 8, to facilitate TV. It's been that way for a few years. Clubs have no choice in the matter.
Vikingur is an exception because they don't have floodlights where they're playing (I think the national stadium is being upgraded and is unavailable)
That's one way to cut down on the number of Palestinian flags anyway!
UCD 1-3 2 Korriku tonight; 5-2 on aggregate
Very frustrating - had just got back into the game when we let them walk the ball into an empty net from the edge of the box. Just can't do that in Europe or anywhere unfortunately
Don't think they were a better side than us which makes it more frustrating, but they certainly were more clinical and I think fitter too
We should have won out there but we missed too many chances. They play Dinamo Kyiv next who should have too much for them.
But am experience for our guys anyway
Hopefully Rovers can claim a win tomorrow, Thursday. 7 points after 3 games will put them in a good position. It'll set up the penultimate game on December 12th, regardless of the trip to Vienna.
Will many TNS travel. 100 maybe?
"Now jump up there and stuff that son of a bitch in the basket, chief"
I'd be shocked if they had 100 there. They played Linfield in Europe a couple of years ago and had something like less than 5 people at it. They really are not well supported at all, despite their success/dominance.
Vikingur 2 up at HT vs Borac. Hard to know what to make of the Bosnians. A very good away win against APEOL.
Maybe they don’t like the cold!
They're screwed when they get to tallaght then!
It's freezing cold there in the middle of a heatwave.
Hoping for a dominant performance and win this evening but id gladly take a snakey 1 nil win .
Think it will be tight and you will need more than 1,as you are not renowned for clean sheets at home.
A winter midweek game in Stoke has nothing on a wet and windy November day in Reykjavik. An early start because of a floodlighting quality issue. No bottle Borac just could not get a handle on their game (whatever it may be) nor the conditions. The newly named 'Eurovikes' were mostly in control of the game, just their goalie had to make 2 first class saves. Rovers at home will be favourites beat this lot.
Disappointed to see both Graham Burke & Jack Byrne on the bench for today's game.
With nothing else to play for this season, I expected both to start.
Gary O'Neill also named on the bench.
Jaysus - 1-0 TNS
Lot of time left of course
What did I say about Rovers not good at keeping clean sheets at home and needing 2 to win.
Lot of time left. Can't exactly say it was completely against the run of play as they come in to the game a few minutes before after Rivers dominated the first 10.
I thought it'd be 5 or 6 for Rovers after seeing the first 5 minutes. They should be able to create chances against this lot, hopefully they finish a couple because not getting 3 points here would be a calamity
