Attendances 2024 (Size of away support )

**thebronze14** · 26/04/2024, 8:16 PM

About 25 cork fans in FP

**Shearer** · 26/04/2024, 8:56 PM

7 UCD fans in Limerick

**trevy** · 27/04/2024, 5:48 AM

40 or so Derry fans in Waterford.

Bohs looked to have 400 in the away terrace and a good few in the stand, I'd be thinking 450-500, def had more than Pats visit earlier in April.

Attendance given was 2,700, so add on the usual scanning 'challenges' loads again last night telling me their tickets didn't scan, so call the actual crowd maybe 2,850, thats about 2,400 home fans, suppose not bad for bottom of league and no wins (at the time).

Sounded like a decent Galway crowd in Tallaght

The terracing was not overly packed and was less so nearer to the Riverside. Also the allocated away seating section of the Richmond road Main Stand was more or less empty. That would have been approximately 200 seated. If Shamrocks sold the full allocation then a fair few didn't turn up. By the by Shels quoted 4628.
But saying all that, if over 700 travelled on Monday nights it is still a great away support!

We don't get seats in our allocation, the 1100 are behind the goal. Rovers crowd for both games in tolka look fairly similar from the highlights.

Would say close to 300 in the away section in Tallaght .

Excuse my obvious ignorance here , but would the opportunity of playing in tallaght not have increased the Galway interested parties,or is 300 the standard figure for away Galway support.?

Outside of the bigger games I think 300 away fans is a great number for Galway ,they don’t historically have a large away following afaik….

I know Rovers fans like to bail over the wall and horse aound on the pitch but Galway fans tend to watch and let their team do the playing!

The opportunity of playing in Tallaght? Ffs, you're Shamrock Rovers not Real Madrid

That, and whilst it's a modern ground and all, do people actually like it, or do they prefer the older grounds, run down as they are?
Also worth noting that Tallaght can be time-consuming to get to on public transport.

It is everyone I know's least favourite ground in Dublin but many of the reasons that we dislike it will be viewed as poistives for others, particularly those driving kids to and from the games.

Away at Drogheda is a favourite, not as a local derby, more the atmosphere thats generated in a small enclosed terrace.

No doubt PC was angling for a response to the way he put his comment, not even he is that arrogant!

Poor crowd from sligo on Friday.

They're levelling the area behind the goal in the next few weeks. Would love if club considered giving that area to away supporters from clubs that don't bring many like sligo and derry as it'd free up a few hundred more for home supporters in away shed

**placid casual** · 28/04/2024, 11:00 PM

I must have phased it wrong,but my point was around the fact that it's a few years since Galway were playing in the Premier division so thought there may be a bigger crowd than 300, but if 300 is the normal limit of their awayday support then fair play.
Glad to hear it's the least favourite venue for a lot of clubs,after all they normally see their team beaten there

Pardon the pun but there was in me hoop
300 of us there, there was about 170 of us in the TV gantry stand, and no way was there another 130 dotted around the place. That’s a decent showing for us as we traditionally struggle to bring big numbers to away games.
