it would be good to see the two games on the telly. i reckon that the fai are praying for a shamrock rovers v derry final, around 18000 + at final in lansdowne?Final at Tolka.
Lansdowne is unavailable due to rugby autumn internationals iirc.

The last time there was a Rovers v Derry final Rovers didn't sell out their section of Tolka. I wanted a ticket for the Derry side and a tout wouldn't swap claiming he wouldn't be able to sell the Rovers ticket!

ok. my apoligies, i reckon then the fai are praying for sligo v pats final , 6495 in attendance?.
Last time Rovers were in a cup final in 1994 took nearly ten thousand to Landsdowne heavily out numbering the Derry supporters. To be fair I think there was some sort of boycott of that final by the Derry supporters.

Exactly in our last final, i think there were more Pats fans than people who live in Inchicore.
Any of the 4 in the final would be a cracking athmosphere.

Er, getting back to the topic. I reckon the semis could be better than the final. Two televised derby games. Sligo V Derry has a history of crackers and Pat's V Rovers (of the Shamrock variety) will have zest as it is an all Dub affair.
I hope to see the two Rovers' in the final!!!!

RTE showed a segment on the 6-One News about how the teams got to the final; footage of Shamrock Rovers v Bohs, saying Bohs were knocked out by their current tenants. They Also showed footage of Pats v Dundalk saying it was from their semi final match.
To think this was scripted by a professional sports journalist, then pre-recorded by a professional sports journalist with at least a sound crew in place and none of them managed to stop 2 mistakes in a one minute piece going out on the national news is very very sad.

They also showed Sligo scored against Pat's - unless they know something the rest of us don't that was not even in the cup!

And yeah the footage they showed of us was from a league game with Pat's, RTE ffs:rolleyes:

"Heavily outnumbering" the Derry fans my arse !
Think I can even dust-off the old VHS recording of it to confirm it as well.

Final at Tolka.
Lansdowne is unavailable due to rugby autumn internationals iirc.
Ireland are playing rugby against South Africa on Nov 11, Australia on Nov 19 and Pacific Islands on Nov 26 so I don't see a clash with an FAI Cup final date of December 3.

Derry did have a crap crowd that day a few in the east stand and the south terrace there was defo some boycott from the Derry fans due to the price of tickets.

Agree. Thundering disgrace. You can be sure if it was "cross-channel soccer2 they would get it right.
Very happy with a home draw. Hopefully Rovers v Derry final and revenge for 2002. WE WANT OUR TROPHY BACK!

Derry had the East stand that day and there was dam all in it. Derry had most of their support on the terrace, three or four thousand.
Rovere filled the West stand and a few thousand on the terrace as well.

If the Cup Final is in Lansdowne, will this be the last game of football to be played in the old stadium. Should make it even more special.

10/10/2006, 2:13 PM
Yes it will be. Weren't we the first club the play there back in the seventies? It would be appropriate for us to bring down the curtain on the venue.....even NY Hoop might go:eek:

Well if they didnt have the final in December and actually marketed the game no reason why 20,000 wouldnt be at it no matter who gets to the final. They lucked out last year.

i was only 8 back then but i remember think "such cheap c*nts" when i seen derry's stand so empty&all of em on da terrace. does any have an official attendance for that game? i'd be pretty confident in sayin we brought 10,000+ and we outnumbered derry

13,800.
Remember myself and a mate standing in the ****ing rain as neutral observers. Only live around the corner from Lansdowene so decided to head along as I always did in those days. Aweful match, haven't been to a non-Rovers Cup Final since.

Very happy with a home draw.
Doesn't really matter where it is, tbh. Rovers-Pats games are so dull and tight, that goals are always in short supply, no matter where it's played.
3 words for Hayser: Remember May 2nd.
This team with apparantly better players, have lost at home to Waterford of all teams, this season. Nobody else has managed that feat yet.
We have far too many better players than rovers.
So had Bohs

Yeah, like the 5-3 Pats win the last time we played youse in Tolka, two years ago.
Anyway, it makes no odds whether we lose to Rovers in the semi or Sligo / Derry in the Final, we're not gonna win it either way. So we may's well let somebody else have a "big day out."

Well, we're almost guaranteed to give away one clanger per game, so youse are going to get at least one.
It's the draw we all wanted, BTW, so it would be nice if some of you turn up!

Of course it matters where it is.
What doesnt matter is the result of previous games.
