About 80 Waterford fans in the Brandywell last night.
Decent crowd, and they made a bit of noise, in what must have been a miserable game for them. Fair play.

About 20-25 Longford fans in Finn Park.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
20 tickets sold to Galway fans before the game, obviously a few more arrived on the night but not much more than 30-40 there last night.
Kerry v Dundalk - 960 called out, co-comms guys said around 250 Dundalk, but I wasn't at the game, others who attended will know better.
They were actually quite funny those guys 'I think the Dundalk fans have been here in Tralee all day' (yes we could hear it guys !) a lot I know got the morning flight from Dub.

A few more than that Outspoken, not much more but a few more. Probably somewhere between 60-70. I know a full bus travelled plus the usual contingent who drive and travel from Dublin. Certainly looked more than 40 on LOITV.
We'll say 50 so. I'm astonished that Drogheda's ground is capable of accommodating for queues that go on for miles, this hatch must be quite special.

Bohs sold out their away allocation anyway. Think it's 500 tickets.
Been making this point for a few years now, what Shels and Pats offer away fans is not that far off the awful facility of Oriel Park, both offer uncovered terrace and behind the goal, Pats now into a corner. All 3 do offer stand options, I think 150 are held back at Oriel Pk. One big plus at OP is, most games away fans will get into the 'upstairs' bar.

I've far preferred the overall experience of the stand in Oriel to the away section of the stand in Richmond. Both terraced offering are similarly grim. Tolka is also atrocious and exposed, but has at least a better view of the field (even if the view of the toilets can be limited for a winter game!)
