eircom League First Division side Bray Wanderers have launched an attractive ticket initiative this week, awarding free match tickets for Friday night’s meeting with Sligo Rovers at the Carlisle Grounds to visitors to the Irish international squad training session at the Wicklow side’s venue on Tuesday morning.

Brian Kerr’s Irish squad, with established stars and rising starlets such Robbie Keane, Damien Duff and Liam Miller all in attendance, will train at the Carlisle Grounds on Tuesday from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

The session is open to the general public, and Bray will try to bring in potential new supporters by offering free tickets for Friday’s meeting with Don O’Riordan’s Sligo.

Bray began their season with a disappointing home defeat at the hands of UCD, but responded brilliantly by thrashing Cobh Ramblers on a 4-1 scoreline at St Colman’s Park on Saturday night. Sligo also have one win and one defeat from two games, losing to Dundalk on opening weekend before a convincing victory over Galway United on Saturday night.

Apparently a few thousand have turned up to watch the irish team train, we invited down all the local schools etc.... hopefully that means that we will have a bumper crowd on friday night

Just wondering if anyone made it to watch them and who were you impressed or dissapointed with? I was told Alan Lee isn't the best. Whats Harte like with little pressure on him? Who was taking most set pieces, etc, etc?

Cheers.

I'm going to be in Dublin this Thursday and Friday ... are there going to be any of these 'open' training sessions does anyone know?

It would be nice to at least see them train given that I'm going to miss the match itself against Israel the day after on Saturday!!
