Based on your second half performance I'd have to agree with your initial statement, but for the love of God, "We've got more fans than youoo" "We were louder than youoo". You're team should have won the game. Outplayed Bohs and all you can come up with is this tripe? Give me strength...

As for your 2-1 theory are you telling me there was 4500 at the game? I seriously doubt it. Looked about 1500+ Bohs in the Riverside. The new stand holds 700 I think and the main stand was not even full. Even then it looked like that's where the neutrals were sitting. I'd have a rethink about your figure of over 3000 Rovers fans. At a push it looked a 50/50 crowd. Maybe someone neutral who was there can settle the argument. Looking forward to Tuesday night and Wednesday morning you can get back to concentrating on the League

50/50 me boll*cks,can some hoops fans get on here and back me up and of course all you could hear was bohs fans,the camara and mic are right above whoever's in the riverside so they always sound the loudest on television

I'm chuffed with the fact that we outplayed yous but there has been talk on this site and elsewhere about our home gates and are hoops fans bothered anymore,justifiably so,but tonight showed everybody clearly that the hoops fans are still around and in great voice and numbers and for a club that prides itself on it's supporters,that is very important.

That's spot on about the camera.

ger121 I think there was more than 700 in the new stand. I saw the crowds going out and there seemed to be more than 700 leaving from that part of the ground.

I'd guess a bit under 4,000 at the match but I'm not usually good at this sort of thing. 1,500 Bohs seems right. I couln't see how far down the Rovers support went in the main stand but only counting a around a quater of it and the new stand I'd say 1,200 Rovers fans.

**ger121** · 25/08/2006, 11:26 PM

As I said it looked 50/50 to me I could be wrong. However, you said that Rovers outnumbered us at least 2-1. Now as you said there was 1500 Bohs fans there, your words not mine. So going by your calculation that you outnumbered us at least 2-1, there was over 3000 Rovers fans there which would mean the crowd had to be at least 4500. Looking at the new stand and main stand on tv no way was there 3000 people in both of them. We'll see what the neutrals have to say about attendance and fans singing as we both will tend to be bias towards our own clubs.

**nshoop** · 25/08/2006, 11:33 PM

My estimate is that there was 1000 in the new stand and 2000 in the main stand,could be more in new and less in main where I was,but I reckon there was 3000 hoops fans there tonight and 1500 bohs.That's not being biased,that's my honest opinion.Can anybody back me up or set me straight with official figures?

**nshoop** · 25/08/2006, 11:38 PM

While I'm here I'd just like to say how funny it was when bohs scored and all the trouble makers ran at the fence,got over it and passed stewards who did f*ck all and then stopped suddenly when they realised there was nothing left between them and rovers supporters.Hilarious,real hardened hooligans,as hard as our own showmen gobsh*tes.It just shows how it has all been blown out of proportion the last few years.

I thought they were just doing that for the craic. It was held in place by boulders so it couldn't be toppled over. But maybe they just didn't see them or are stupid.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 25/08/2006, 11:58 PM

I was talking to my brother who said the main stand looked 2/3 full on TV, with the left half completely full. It would have been slightly more than that IMHO as there were plenty of people standing on the steps, and with the few empty seats taken away as well.

1,500 Bohs fans, 900 in new stand and slightly more than 2/3 of main stand whatever that is is how I see it.

**nshoop** · 26/08/2006, 12:02 AM

They never wanted to get past the fence but just make it look like they did.I don't mind the kids and teens doing it,but there were grown men running and kicking the fence and they looked so stupid it was unbelievable.Anyway,it was a trouble free night,which I would expect at tolka-there's only one road to police and the gards stuck all eight or ten of their vans on the road,blocking it off completely.It was a good plan to be honest but I'm sure they'll f*ck up at dalymount on tuesday as usual.Anyway that's the gossip.

I was in the left of the main stand,great craic as usual,especially when you're outsinging the hoops in the new stand and the bohs in the riverside.There was atleast 1000 in the new stand as it was packed,seats and steps,and there was about 2000,maybe slightly less in the main stand.It evens out to 3000 hoops supporters in the ground

Edit:approx.4000 tonight according to official website so I'll take their word and say we had 2500 or slightly more and boez:1500

Bohs should've had it won by half time, all they had to do was realise how much better they were but they didn't cop it. The occasion seemed to get to Rovers bigtime in the first half, they couldn't get beyond the halfway line. In fairness to them though, they limited Bohs chances. Fair play to Scully, whatever he said at half time worked for them. Second half was a complete turnaround, Rovers played Bohs off the park though I think they could yet regret yer man missing the sitter near the end. Thought Rovers should've had a second peno when their right winger was held back, open to correction as to whether or not he was inside the box but didn't figure the ref would give them a second peno either way.

I would've put the crowd at approx 4500 - say 2500 Bohs in the Riverside (full up as far as the end of the roof nearest the Drumcondra end), 1000 Rovers in the Subbuteo stand and 1000 Rovers / neutrals in the old stand.

Because everyone is sick of watching Shels play Derry this year. How many times will they play this season?? 6 times. Time for someone else to have a look-in for a change.

It was a bad miss, but Bohs have already regretted their missed chances in the first-half. Should be another high-octane classic on Tuesday, but sadly, not on the box.

**fergalr** · 26/08/2006, 1:35 AM

Crowd was 2/3s Rovers. Second half was all Rovers.

Make of it what you will...

Five arrested over soccer violence

Ignore, same link as Ringo above.

**sonofstan** · 26/08/2006, 7:43 AM

The new stand was about 3/4full, the main stand less than 2/3 - can someone who knows the capacity of the various bits of Tolka tell me what that adds up to? I don't think there was anything like 3,000 Rovers fans.

Also - it was 1/2 hour after the final whistle before we were standing on Richmond Rd. - I've seen crowds of 80,000 disperse more quickly

Yeh I saw the hard men

running at the fence trying to get at the Rovers fans giving the usual come on gestures. Low and behold the same lads who were doing this could be seen leaving the ground with 10 minutes left!
