Just shy of 20 Longford fans in Limerick.
There was definitely two Wexford fans and two flags. There was a few more people over that side but think they were harps fans trying to get a bit of sun
Yeah there were 2 Wexford fans traveled just. Fair play to them too.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
Big Bohs support in the RSC last night of around 500 or so.
Is say 150-200 bray fans in ucd last night
About 25 Kerry FC fans in St. Colman's Park last night with a good display of flags!
Shamrcoks had the full allocation in Weavers Park, while Sligo had well over a 100 fans in Tolka, plenty of Sligo fans living in Dublin maybe!
About 130 Galway fans in richmond

You could easily do a head count on Derry away support if ye bothered to pause the LoITV coverage, one of the lower numbers of Derry support in Oriel in a long while. 150? on the terrace at a push, hard to see if there were any/many in the stand.
Thinking same myself last night, definitely one of lowest Derry away crowds in OP in long time and more unusual its their second 'shortest' trip and their fans usually get into both bars. at the ground.
It was actually one of the lowest away crowds to date this season and I was very surprised by that.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Apparently Derry sold 300 tickets but only about 130 showed. Did a couple of busses not show or something?
Pats are taking the pzzz with sales for away tickets. Abs no concessions left, an adult and two kids SEVENTY TWO euro. How is this not being called out more?
Plus what they have to offer behind the goal is not much better than Oriel Park, albeit that is nothing special what we have to offer, but that is a disgrace charging this, at least its only €15 into away end in OP, concessions would be much lower.
Is Joe Duffy on tomorrow ?
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Andrea Gilligan is the new Joe Duffy! I know a few GUFC fans that didn't bother going to Pat's on Friday because of the cost. Clubs are entitled to charge what they want, of course.
I dont think it shouldnt be called out if its excessive but it wont make a difference if there are home fans that will fill empty seats, its a win win for the club when there is limited capacity. It only kicks back if the club ever starts to struggle for crowds again and home fan start to grumble and even then a club will roll out want a competative team pay for it stuff. So prices creep up league wide when one club sees how others can charge, an exclusive cohort of support happens and one days its EPL light rather than GLITW. A sample of the wider society trend I suppose. We will one day say St Pats ruined it all.....
I think there's an argument to be made that LOI tickets have been too cheap for years. However, it all comes down to facilities. Luckily, the weather looks good for tomorrow but a ****ing night in Richmond and out in the open wouldn't be much fun.
15 quid more than enough into the likes of Oriel, Drogheda and plenty others at the moment.
