Capacity levels at the venue will be reviewed and it’s hoped the numbers of supporters permitted into the ground will be increased in the coming weeks and potentially for the next home fixture against league leaders Sligo Rovers.
Those lucky fans who got their hands on an e-ticket for the Friday's game were treated to a hugely entertaining game as Derry fought back after Ali Coote's 84th minute strike to clinch a dramatic point thanks to substitute Marc Walsh's 94th minute equaliser.
