Yeah i heard 3000 was the total but seemingly they are trying to increase it, maybe temporary stand behind the goal. Would be great to get that in for the game if it is a sell out! Seems to be loads of interest around the town for it!
First time we've had a home FAI cup semi final since back to back semi's in 1989 & 1990 so hope the weather is good on the day.

If Cork can bring up over 500+ and Bray at best could draw on 2,000+ assuming that the weather is good, I suppose a crowd on the day of 2,500+ with TV coverage is a good turnout.

It will be interesting to see their numbers alright. 1,100 at the quarter final replay in Cork so you're looking for half of them to travel. Sunday should help

We typically travel fairly well on Saturdays and Sundays. We had a decent crowd up there early in the season, I missed the recent game there so not sure what it was like. Bray isn't that far from Cork (relatively speaking) and its an early kick off so no hassle getting home late with work/school the next day.
As far as I know there are 5 fans buses traveling when we'd usually just have the two, so if that is a good gauge of the traveling crowd we should have a decent crowd. Lots will make their own way as well, train/car etc on top of the exiled fans living in Dublin and its surrounds.
The downside for Bray is that we're out in the open and that will put some off, it has tended to rain on recent trips there, many are still talking about the soaking they got last season.

According to Facebook, capacity capped at 2800. 1000 tickets going to Cork - max and 1800 for Bray which seemingly are selling very well! They are saying that there wont be any tickets available on match day and that they are also going to be very strict with segregation. Bray tickets are green and Cork are red - Cork fans with Green tickets will not be allowed in...

Ive been to the Carlisle grounds myself about 20 times and it wouldnt be an exagartion to say it has been freezing plus raining for at least 18 of them!
Still my second favourite away game though! So handy, Train Dublin, Dart Bray, Into the Hibernian and into the ground
The look the same if these pics are accurate

The Saturday afternoon move makes it far more appealing to me, normally I'd rank Bray way down the list.

As of Thursday 24th Cork City's allocation of 700 tickets have been sold and Bray have allocated a further 300 tickets to Cork City on request.
The interest from the Bray fans must have eased off so?
Any Bray heads in the know!

Dundalk heads, I've pinged some emails off to the club, but in case I don't hear anything back soonish, as can be the case, do you have a clue if I'll be able to get tickets for the away end on the night? Live in Limerick so will be traveling up from here, would like to know if I'll be able to get in before I make solid plans!
Please and thanks for all your help etc. I'll bring a few bags of tayto.

I think Bray were always spoofing about selling out their share of the gate. They've been "about to sell out" since the morning after the Killester game.

There is no way the game will sell out before kick off. You should be able to pay on the night. I expect the club will confirm this.

Cheers, I'll be up by 6 odd in any case, best be early just in case, never been to Oriel yet. Any good drinking spot, for probably the only Longford man in town pre match?
White Horse wins the tayto!

The best place is Kennedy's opposite the Railway Station, only a few hundred yards from the ground. I'd expect the bars in the ground will be open to Longford fans. They were open to Sligo fans in the last round.
I'd recommend a stand ticket. The away terrace in Oriel is not a place to enjoy a game.

Well someone is telling Porky's :confused:
How is the gate split for FAI Cup Semi-Final Games? :ttth:
Maybe that has something to do with it! :hypnotized:

Not sure on exact split but I heard FAI's percentage is higher for semi final than previous rounds.

Walking around Bray you wouldn't have any notice whatsoever that there's a Cup semi-final on this Sunday. Not a poster, not a flag. And we wonder why our game is so poorly supported, the place was decked out in Bray Emmets colours a few weeks back for their U21 all-Ireland game.

Local GAA finals in Louth and Longford are on Sunday. Both clubs wanted to switch to Friday to allow fans to watch both.

Maybe they said that to try get as many of their own tickets sold before the day of the game thinking people would rush to get them. I don't see any reason to lie about it though.
Is it Sunday yet? Nope only Thursday:-(
Aside from my excitement about the game, and I hope I'm wrong but I think Bray will beat us. Not as convinced as Trevor croly is I must say

Yeah its a big mistake from the club trying to depending on Facebook and Twitter for publicity!!! They really should have signs up everywhere in the town, flags up everywhere and try get a buzz around the place! I was hoping for a sell out but think we will struggle to even hit the 2k mark!!!!

Hard to know. The Supporters Club/Section O are currently close to filling a second bus, not sure what size the second one is. There should be plenty driving. I'd find it hard to put a figure on our total crowd though. Could be anywhere between 150 and 300

We've two buses anyway, and some will drive, plenty of heads live in Dublin and likely going, we'll have a few hundred you'd hope.

I would see no reason why you can't have more of the same tonight. Also try and sneak into the upstairs bar in the stand if going there, much better spot. Also if time check out the new framed photos all over the place, they didn't good job on this. Retro matches etc.
Speaking of retro.

Any updates from the Cork end on ticket sales. Bray as a club have totally fooked up. Nothing bar radio advertising the last week. You wouldnt know there was a Semi Final if you werent involved in the club or supported them. Its an absolute disaster. Theyve a youth club involved with them. They should have been asked to do something as a project. What is cork like? Are there flags/Banners up? Advertising?

Think we've sold over 600. I'd say we'll have in and around 700/750 there.
Not really much advertising for the game in Cork but social media by the club and its partners has been decent. Reckon ye'll sell out the home end?
What is the capacity of the Carlisle grounds anyway? Looking forward to a pint by the seaside.

From what I heard capacity for Sunday is set at 2,900. Expecting 2000 attendance. Most clubs rely on social media nowadays as its cheaper that printing posters and then having to get people to go around with them.

I'd be surprised if there was 2000 at the game on Sunday, think it'll be closer to 1500/1600 myself but hope im wrong
