League Cup Final in Wexford...

[oldyouth]

They seem a bit pricey, especially if you want to bring the family. Still, it's going to be a great night

"Tickets will first go on sale at Ferrycarrig on Saturday 13th of September at 1.30pm. Prices, set up by the FAI, are as follows:
Covered Stand Seating €25
Open Seating €25
Standing €15
Children €5"

I presume the "open seating" will be opposite the present covered stand, behind the dugouts and the standing will be behind either goal.

Just hope i can get some to nip on on saturday for them.

tickets are bit pricey but also no rate for OAP and students which seems a bit strange IMO. also thought then where going to be in the shops as well will be hard for everyone who wants them to get to ferrycarrig on saturday.

[Magicme]

Have booked myself and the kids into a hotel down there for the nite so all set now!

What time is kick off for the game anyways?

[The Optimist]

Kick off is down for 19:30

[Magicme]

great. Means we can enjoy a good day out in Wexford before hand!

[pineapple stu]

oldyouth still moaning about paying a fwe quid to help out his club, I see. Some things never change!

Best of luck in the game though. But having seen youz against our A Team, I can't see anything other than a comfortable Derry win. But that's what I thought against Cork too. And were Limerick the last team to beat Derry in the League Cup?

Not giving out about helping the club (not that we need it anyway). I am surprised by the price of the tickets with no concessions for OAPs etc. If the number of FAI officials who attend the game is the same as our opening fixture in the league, I can see where it is all going and why it was set so high.

I don't understand your comment about when we played against your A team but it does remind me to ask if the penalty your keeper took in an earlier round of the competition has landed yet??????

[pineapple stu]

The team we put out against you was our A Team. Fairly straightforward.

Yep, we found the ball, thanks. It was in the bushes behind the goal. Fortunately, people had paid into the game, so the club would have had money to replace it if all else failed.

I was one of those who paid in to that game, not only for myself but also for my wife, son, parents, sister in law, 2 nieces and my nephew. You see, I don't mind paying my way and I look forward to visiting again next year to help you out further

[pineapple stu]

You see, I don't mind paying my way
Must have imagined you whining to high heaven that we didn't let you in for free so.

[dublin_owl]

Oi Stewie, get yerself down the N11 to Ferrycarraig for the final and give us yer support. ;)

All together now -

"Stu's soft, and he loves The Youths,
Stu's soft, and he loves The Youths... "

Yes, your imagination is working fine, I was actually giving out that UCD did not let small kids in for free and then debated the point if it would generate more paying adults, like myself, if you did so.

[pineapple stu]

Even though, as has been pointed out to you numerous times, we didn't set the ticket prices and Wexford would (quite rightly) complained if they'd gotten a reduced gate because of it.

Nope, we wouldn't have complained. If we wanted to take money from 7yr olds, we would charge it ourselves for home league games. It's better that they keep the few bob and buy a football or boots, so they can play the game that they come to watch every few weeks

Anyway, I'm going to save the mods putting this to the rubbish bin by ending the debate (for now)

[Youths4Ever]

new updates on tickets went up on official site last night

"Tickets will first go on sale at Ferrycarrig on Saturday 13th of September at 1.30pm. Prices, set up by the FAI, are as follows:
Covered Stand Seating €25
Open Seating €20
Standing €15
Children €5*

Time of sale is subject to change please check back regularly for further details.
*If a child wishes to be seated then the full ticket prices apply. "

as far as know opening seating is behind each goal

[Splurge]

Jesus, wouldnt like that, ill go for the covered then! Whats the capactiy and what are we expecting?

[Youths4Ever]

capcaity not 100% confirmed yet but reckon about 3200 mark take out 200 for FAI and other officials. so 3000 tickets to be spilt between us and Derry.

Full house expected anything else would be a distaster IMO

[oldyouth]

I think it's about time our overpaid supporters club committee do what we pay them for and get some definite answers!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll get my coat.............................................. ......

Taken from http://www.wexfordyouthsfc.ie/

"The sale of tickets for the League Cup Final between the Wexford Youths and Derry City will not take place this Saturday as advertised. Tickets will not be printed until next week and will now go on sale the following Saturday, the 20th of September at 10am. This is not a Wexford Youths fixture but an FAI fixture and consequently we have no control over the situation.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused."

What a day for football (soccer!!!!) in the county. The Wexford People aka Hurling Weekly has 6 pages devoted to the League Cup Final. I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime. I'm saving it for a good read at lunchtime.

It is a good read as well don't forget the back page which makes 7 pages of soccer in Hurling Weekly

[RonnieB]

Best of luck to ye lads, I hope ye can cause an upset. I shall raise a shoe in yere honour if ye manage to do so!

[ForzaForth]

Wexford Echo has 12 pages this week including a lovely article from Magicme. It includes a picture of the 17 who formed the squad for our first match in Monaghan in March 2007. 11 of them have gone (if you include Locky).

[passinginterest]

I try to keep track of the appearance and goal stats for the Youths and we've used a massive number of players in our short existence. I think I had 47 on my spreadsheet the other day and we've had one more debut since then. It's crazy, also our most capped players now have over 60 league games behind them.

Obviously some lads didn't make the grade and some were helping out in an hour of need. However, it just reinforces my long held belief that you cannot hold an amateur side together long enough to compete at a high level. I wish it was different but I don't think so

I'd definitely agree, the only plus side is that there is a fairly solid core that have been there from the start, with Conor, Patsy and Anto all having played around 60 games in the league.

Mick is probably a little too quick to throw the young lads in, he seems to have a short memory and as soon as he sees a new bunch of successful young lads he ditches the older fellas. I suppose that's ingrained from having to build underage teams from scratch every season.

Not too many really high quality lads have been lost, Ducker is probably the most high profile I suppose and if there was more of a financial incentive maybe a few fellas that have dedicated themselves to the GAA might have been tempted along.

A win on Saturday would be a truly remarkable result and could only bode well for the long term success of the club, and should help garner much more support from the local community, and more importantly the local authority. Wexford County council should be following the lead of South Dublin CC in helping to develop Ferrycarrig Park as a community facility, which Wallace has always maintained is his primary goal anyway.

I can't see that happening. Mick is providing this for the community anyway and his relationship with Wexford Co. Co. is best left unsaid. He doesn't appear to me as a committee sort of chap.

Paul Murphy out of the final with a cruciate ligament injury in training....

Good pullout in Echo alright don't forget Magicme pic ;)

Murphy is out for sure be interesting to see if we play with 5 across the middle with one upfront or two up front

Aw shucks lads!:o

Could any of these possibly be posted online?

The Echo only posts up selected bits on the web and none of the stuff about the final is up. The People is similar and usually about a week behind before it gets online. I went trying to find a copy on my lunch today, discovered Easons on Dawson St no longer exists and they hadn't got either in Reads on Nassau St :mad:

No worries.

You'll prob get it downstairs Easons on O'Connell St. by the way.

Ya just too far to walk on my bloody lunch time! I'll try pick them up tomorrow after work, before heading to Tolka for Rovers and Bohs.

I'd love to be going to Ferrycarrig on Saturday, the optimism and excitement are really building up nicely, I set the digibox to record it earlier, hopefully I'll get to watch it live too.

[oldyouth]

Not wanting to be personal Mr. Passing but what keeps you from retuning to the Model County more often? As a native of Dirty Dublin, I have to accept it must be important to you

I'll PM you rather than post my ramblings here! :D

[passinginterest]

It seems you have private messages disabled so I'll go off topic!

Not driving at the moment doesn't help. Living up here for nearly seven years, five years since I used to go home every weekend, buying a house up here in the last six months, playing football up here, working up here means I've pretty much settled here full time. To be honest I've felt at home here from the day I moved up for college. Don't think I could ever cope with living in the middle on nowhere again (and home in Wexford really is middle of nowhere). My house now is just out of view in those ariel shots of Tallaght Stadium, the girlfriend is Dublin through and through and I doubt I could move her out even if I wanted to!

I was actually down there last weekend, and try to get down about once a month or at least every two months. I had a prior commitment this Saturday unfortunately and couldn't back out. Wexford will always be what made me and close to my heart, the Youths are particularly close considering I know a few of the lads and I'm a fan of Irish football and have been a supporter of Wallace and his philosophy for a long time.

[oldyouth]

Cheers Passing. I did the opposite. Born & bred as a Dub and moved down at 23yrs of age. I'll never want to return as this is where the heart is now.

My son is following the same route as you, up in college and feeling out of sorts when he comes home. All part of the process.

On a totally different topic, you are a very bad man, you know what you've done..........
poor Paul. (made me laugh though)

Anyone know what the story is with parking? The was a rumour that only full cars would be let in or that only cars with a permit would get in?
Well be full but have no permit.

Wexford Supporters

A free shuttle bus will run from Wexford Race Course. Please use the entrance close to Boggan’s Garage for parking. Car Park will be supervised at all times. First bus will leave race course at 5.30pm.

Buses will be available to return to car park from 5 minutes before the end of the game.

Derry Supporters

Parking will be available near the ground. On the approach to the pitch via the N11 through Enniscorthy and Oylgate there will be electronic signs to highlight the direction to follow.
