chances are the capacity will be 6,000, and i could see Sligo being able to fulfil that alone. I dont understand why the FAI dont add an extra 4,000 seats and promote this game heavily and try and push it near the 10 mark rather than settling for 6.
I think it says it all about the FAI, and where there priorities lie. I heard from someone in the FAI that in the past they have over-estimated the attendances in previous cup finals and because of this they are preparing for 6. I think Sligo could bring about 6,000, Fingal about 1,000 and neutrals around 1,200 so i think 8,500 would be sufficient, the fact it is on a Sunday doesnt help and the price of the tickets will also be a factor.
Will be a great occasion however.
if its half and half split, with any surplus going back to us then theres no tickets for neutrals. im sure alot of shams fans would like to go to their home ground and see the first major final there. and you'd get alot of neutrals. its an absolute joke if the FAI dont arrange the extra seating for it. we could quite easily get 6000 alone for it
well i know im not very far off anyway. there was around 20 fans for the league cup 1/4 finalOriginally Posted by The Lep
I'm sure they are working hard on this but the FAI need to get the tickets out TODAY, then we can gauge the interest and see if extra seats are a good idea.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
what? are you raving!? i thought it would be a great idea if Longford got in the final the year they opened croke park, and they did, but bringing ten to fifteen thousand to a place that holds eighty k would be a big mistake. silence and awkwardness would be the main part of the atmosphere.They should hold it in Croker, give a free ticket to everyone who goes to the French game (or bundle it into the cost) and sell the spare French allocation to the two competing teams.
I bet we still wouldn't even get 15,000 at it
Sporting F*ck All!
word in sligo today is that we're only getting 2500 tickets. unbelievable
the FAI can f**k off if this is true

We're getting only 2500 tickets.
I've seen more in the Showgrounds for league games this season ffs.
It's a ground that holds 6000... 2500 isn't a bad allocation. Sell those and you'll undoubtedly get more.

Wouldn't be so sure
Too us thats its pretty much a joke. If only the FAI realised that our fans alone would sell out Tallaght and we had a massive semi final crowd, was that not proof enough ?. The FAI go on about attracting new fans, but now they may be ruining a visit to a Cup Final for many regular fans AND potential new supporters from Sligo.

Fingal will sell 2500 as well sure. Or have to give them away free. I always get those two confused.
Firstly, it should be a proportionate split based on attendances (which the FAI have obviously, because it's part of licencing for them to be submitted).
However, I know if I were looking for tickets as a neutral, or as dublin based sligwegian it surely wouldn't be that hard to get!?!
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
any rovers fans who dont have a ticket when the rovers allocation sells out just go and buy them off sporting! there'll be plenty left over from them
I wouldn't count on it. I'm sure both Fingal fans will have their tickets snapped up in no time.

It will be very quiet on here on the 23rd
Yes, we shall be very very drunk.It will be very quiet on here on the 23rd
Theres a decent chance the after match celebrations if we win will be adapted to the Big Screen, this film will be a sequel to The Hangover, only this time its not in Las Vegas, and as opposed to having a run in with Mike Tyson, the lads will have a run in with Tallaght's own, Robbie Keane.
Coleman for Ireland
Don't know wht they couldn't just have had it in the RDS again.....
Bigger capacity, closer to town....it's not as if they don't have to rent out
Tallaght.

Sorry do you mind. This is a thread about the FAI cup final. I fail to see what it has to do with you. Bye bye now.
