Only one team in the league has scored more goals than City. FACT
We've scored a lot of goals at home but we have had a much easier run of fixtures at the Cross than away. I'd expect us to try and contain Dundalk and hit them on the break where possible. We've played Limerick, Galway, the weakest Derry team in living memory and Longford at the Cross and Longford were the only team who made things even remotely difficult for us.
We've been away to Sligo, Shamrock Rovers and Pats (as well as Bray and Drogs). Sligo aren't looking like the team everyone expected but we played them day one (in horrific conditions) so hard to read too much into that.
Dundalk at the Cross is our first home test.

Gentlemen, no need to fight. They're both the worst keeper in the league.
Not sure if it was posted but Athlone Town vs Cabinteely 269 official.
Jeepers. I hope that new sponsor is a generous one.

Assume away fans will be fine to buy tickets at the ground, and the near sell out shouldnt effect this, as they will surely be holding back a decent allocation? They'll prob need to hold back an area between away and home support, so that might reduce the tickets Cork can sell also.
Dundalk were not sent any advance tickets to sell. We asked last week.
I'm not sure how many Dundalk fans will travel, Id say over 200, maybe, hard to know, possibly more, but what is the expected crowd for this, will you get over 6k?
Anyway, I`m looking forward to heading down, first visit to the cross.

#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
As of this morning we have sold 5,300 tickets for this game.

That could well sell out an hour or two before kick-off so. Fair play to Cork, they've really set the bar for marketing and advertising in the League.
Easy to do so when the only team there...yada yada..should be no excuses from other clubs, the amount of advertising that club do across the city is monumental compared to some other clubs who barely draw up a match poster.

It's a shame Drogs aren't sponsored by Hunky Dorys any more. The crisps bantz would be off the charts for tonight's game.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Fairly big crowd expected in Finn Park tonight, as long as the weather holds up. Should hit over the 1,000 mark, which will be nice.

6100 tickets sold now.
That's seriously impressive no matter how you look at it, lets hope it's a good match now, I'd prefer an auld score draw personally, wouldn't want Dundalk to race too far ahead.
