That’s like saying how many attend club soccer games in Louth , Muirheavnor , Bellurgan , Carlingfird Celtic etc which is probably similar to Dundalk gaa clubs .
Louth playing would be a fairer comparison v Kildare , Meath etc to Dundalk - Drogheda attendances . Louth outside of mid Louth and the Peninsula/ border area is a soccer stronghold close to Dublin to be fair but in Limerick hurling and rugby would be top draws by a country mile . There was 82,000 at Limerick v Cork hurling semi final this year .
It's conveniently the same comparison the other way around though. Regularly see GAA fans laud it over LOI supporters saying they see more at club GAA games, when it's entirely incorrect.
The GAA club season is more closer to the LOI season than inter-county in terms of games played, regularity, and competition style.

Looking on V2, maybe 500 Bohs fans in Tallaght, possibly the smallest Bohs away attendance at this local Dublin derby for awhile. Monday night kick-off doesn't help, but I reckon its more frustration with the team and Reynolds!
6,119 in Tallaght tonight. Would have been another 2-3k on top of that if it were a Friday night you'd expect.

1,618 in Drogheda
Where did you get that number from?
The camera showed large empty patches in the stand opposite the main camera view and even more behind the goal to the right. The stand behind the other goal seemed fairly full. Bohs support at one end of the stand under the camera the rest of it totally empty. Doesn't make for good viewing for a Dublín derby no matter what day of the week it was. Didn't look like the 6117 officially quoted
Counted that approximate number from the LOITV coverage looking at the fans in the covered terrace on the Windmill Roadside, which is usually allocated to away fans at United Park.
I thought that was a fair estimate unless you or anyone else who was at the game can give any further information!
A crowd of 6k+ in Tallaght would only take up 60% of the ground. The main stand and south stand have a combined capacity of in and around 5k (slightly more I think). That Attendance figure wouldn't have been far off what I'd guess, although I didn't put any thought in it last night.
Pats sold out the initial allocation of 1100 for Tallaght on Friday with more due to be released today. Shels are apparently going to half the usual allocation to 500 for Mondays game there, as they did when they played Bohs at home recently also
