Attendances 2024 (Size of away support )

[Nesta99]

Pats fans will know the lay of the land better, but seemed to be well over 200 DFC fans squeezed into far corner of main stand on Mon, would be thinking closer to 300.

150 Derry at Oriel Park last Fri is about right, one of their lowest in years, really not sure why, granted not a BH weekend in NI, but still their second shortest away trip.

Sad act that i AM, I did count Derry fans from LoITv coverage and 100 was barely broken.

No one allowed behind the goals and no tickets on sale . €24 very tasty for a loi game €18 to gufc if you book online.

What grounds in the league still allow fans stand behind the goals!

The obvious ones are the Ballybough away end in Tolka and The Shed away end in Richmond Park that really add to the atmosphere on match night and also looks great on TV!

Harps, Sligo, Galway, Treaty, Cork, Cobh, Longford, Wexford, Bray, Dundalk, Drogheda..just outside of Dublin alone.

Prob just away terrace, they had a good few in the stand away section, some were in the Enda McG bar at HT.

[trevy]

Around 50 Sligo Rovers fans at the RSC.

[nigel-harps1954]

Pity the four Harps fans in the away end last night.

I was in the stand, worth paying the extra fiver for as you can get into the bar at HT.

[Shearer]

About 12 Bray fans.

I know a lot of grounds have areas behind their goal ends, but I was looking at terraced away ends, that's why I mentioned Shels & St.Pats. These grounds have that old traditional look and when you have away fans it adds to the attendance in atmosphere and colour.

Some of the grounds mentioned above could easily put some terrace behind the goals areas. Again some of these grounds listed above have either seating, grass banks, no fans allowed or closed off areas.

I think Finn Harps were the the last club to do this at the town end on the Chestnut road around 2016. Derry City are in the process of adding covered terracing behind the goals with the new North terrace near the Brandywell road.

The Town end in Finn Park has had its concrete terrace since the late 90s.

True but it was planned for the start of 1972 season....

The Town end in Finn Park has had its concrete terrace since the late 90s.

So, Finn Harps were the the last club to add terracing at their town end area.

Would worry if another club done it for them, to be fair.

[nr637]

So, Derry City are the only club adding covered terracing with the new North terrace at the Brandywell road end with a capacity of 2,500!

[nigel-harps1954]

They also have a billionaire owner who's got the luxury of being able to do that in a ground they don't own. Not everyone else has that.

Any way we can improve facilities for the league, is an option worth taking!

[nr637]

From LOITV, looked well over 7/800 Shams away fans in Richmond, nearer 200 odd in the RSC for Shels, good support from Derry, at least 150+, Sligo and Drogs had about 20/30 away support.

I was in TC last night and am guessing about 50 odd Cobh fans spread around the Cross with mainly 20-30 sitting in the St. Annes end.

Too be honest great crowds and away support for this Thursday nights round of fixtures. The weather was pretty good except for Galway!

[thebronze14]

About 10 UCD fans. 2 or 3 the far side. 4 or so in the shed and a couple up in the stand
