Heard myself the capacity is 4200. Which isn't enough.

The clubs biggest problem is going to be people turning up on the night. You could nearly guarantee people will leave it till last minute, float up and be absolutely outraged that they can't get in.

Is the east stand the one behind the goal or a terrace ?

This is Limerick no matter what happened some people were going to have a moan. Its not really even a club event so they don't have much control over it. I suppose its easy for me to say being part of one of the groups getting stand tickets but I don't see what else they could have done with em tbf.

Ya I agree Bluewhitearmy. There have been plenty of opportunities to sign up to OSC (€10) and Blue Army Loyalty (€5) throughout the season and that would have had them sorted. I can understand if you are there most weeks and miss out on the stand and you are a bit annoyed but there isn't anything the club can do about it.

Yeah, my Dad's a case in point, he'll go into the terrace without much grumbling, but he's shocked at how hard it is to get stand tickets.

**MattB11** · 07/09/2016, 8:06 PM

How many tickets did Pats get for it?

Not sure. The away stand holds 350 afaik. So I'd guess 600-700 between stand and terrace. I assume if more were requested by a certain date they could be sent up.

Will Pats bring 600-700?

Not for a league cup game. Brought about 300 to Galway. I'd imagine this will be similar. 170 booked on a train anyway

Perfect for the away stand so.

**gael353** · 08/09/2016, 8:22 PM

Pats i believe are getting 650

8 pubs 4 chippers 2 bookies between the station and the ground

Atmosphere beginning to build nicely around Shannonside for Saturday night now. 4,300 tickets all but gone which is great to see so early in the week. Heard Pats are roaring for more tickets too which should add to the occasion.

How many tickets allocated to St Pats?

Perhaps a tad uncouth for them to be roaring.........

Not sure but a pats fan reckons they will have around 300-400 travelling. Stand alone holds 360 so between that and terrace they should have had more than enough tickets. Unless a bigger crowd is travelling than expected. It's a final so I assume they were actually entitled to 50% of the tickets if they wanted?

**nr637** · 12/09/2016, 1:44 PM

And..........the game is on TV..........eir, I presume1

Anyone

**D24Saint** · 12/09/2016, 2:01 PM

Shaping up be a good occasion , the is a few hundred going on the train & I'm sure more will be making their own way down.

No, that's not how the LC final works (not that it's ever an issue)

They had sold 300+ tickets by half time in the Cobh game which is more than I had expected

yep!it has being on there for the last decade or so!

**bluewhitearmy** · 13/09/2016, 3:37 PM

Pats were sent an initial 350 and told to come back if they needed more they were sent another 300 during the week.

**nr637** · 15/09/2016, 9:41 AM

So there will be over 5,000+ at this game on Saturday allegedly, but in the FAI & Limerick FC's mind-sets there will be officially 4,200 tickets sold and in attendance............!

It's all about the money!

Just ask John D
