Who would have thought that shamrock rovers need to beat/draw bray to win the league,,
looking at our fixture the following week i would think that devlin would not be risking any of our 6/7 first teamers that might come back after injuries, realisticly i can see rovers getting the title and for the second year in a row the title will be presented in the carlise maybe some day it will presented to us.. lets hope the bray supporters come out as rovers will be bringing a huge crowd..
Its nice to have our final League game of the season played before a massive crowd once again I believe there will be a 3000 crowd limit.Its live on R.T.E.2 T.V. at 7.45.
fridays match will be ticket only.. will season ticket holders need to collect a ''match ticket'' so officials can keep an eye on numbers...

Your season ticket is your match ticket. It's valid just like every other league game.
alri wasn't sure if it was the same for this match
Absolutely brilliant that the Carlisle is going to be packed this Friday and we need the money.
However, the big game for me is the Galway one and would definitely rest some players as any injuries picked up Friday would be a travesty. Galway had their best players out the last few weeks albeit due to suspension and injury but they will not be taking a chance.
This game is now SOLD OUT
:( Ah poo.
Didn't think the home section would have sold out.
Guess I won't be there to see Rovers fans demolish the Carlisle so.
Rang the club on Saturday and called down yesterday morning and picked one up. It was a shoe in to sell out quickly. The amount of Rovers fans wanting to be at this so no shock at all it's sold out.
Spot on. I'd say if we could fit 10,000 in safely we would sell out. The demand for tickets has been nothing short of remarkable.Quote:

What do you think you could fit in at the Carlisle with no restrictions as a matter of interest?Quote:

Prob around 4,000 or 5,000.
The main stand holds just under 1,000. I think the other stand can hold up to 2,000 but I'm open to correction on that. I reckon you could squeeze in another 1,000 to 2,000 behind the goals.
Home stand holds 1000, away stand holds 1800 + 400 standing, standing area at the bowling alley end would be 2000 and then if they opened up the north end of the ground and put a temp. stand another 1000 on top of that. All at a rough guess of course)Quote:

it will be a home game for rovers, i didn't know it was all ticket, will be watching it on the TV
They only have a set number of tickets, Bray as the home team have already sold out their own tickets for the game.Quote:

Throw in the Rovers fans who bought tickets direct from Bray and you could easily imo add another 800 if not more to their own allocation.Quote:

Nice pay day for the touts if they manage to get their hands on tickets.....
I know some Rovers fans were out the other day buying 10 per person but i do understand it's hard to control.Quote:

rovers home game (att. by Bray season ticket holders) against the bray reserves. Great!
http://www.shamrockrovers.ie/news/35...ckets-sold-out
You completely forgot you had tickets online?Quote:
added to the tickets sold to Rovers fans by Bray Wanderers and via ticketmaster.
As far as i know, the club took this game off sale from ticketmaster so no tickets were sold through them (well unless people bought them weeks ago)Quote:

I wonder was temporary seating ever considered for this match like Rovers had for the Real Madrid game. They could be put behind the goal that is empty.
Don't think this was ever an option from what i know.Quote:

I'm not sure if this has been looked into but maybe Bray/Rovers/FAI should have got together about it seeing as this is the biggest game of the season, League title will be won our lost on Friday night, the game is on the box, they really should have went all out in making it look as good as possible, but as i've said im not sure if this option has been looked into already and dis-guarded due to safety concerns.
the club only took it off ticketmaster on saturday afternoon by then there was probably 600-700 gone.Quote:

There are doubts about Jake Kelly(hamstring), Dane Massey (shoulder), Chris Shields(knee), and Gary Shaw (hamstring), Pat Devlin will not make a decision on their fitness until Friday evening.
Speaking during the week, Director of Football at Bray Pat Devlin said that last Friday's game was a difficult one for Bray.He said, "It felt like we were in limbo and we didn't do well in the first half but I was glad with the improvement in the second. Then the score came in from Drogheda and we knew where we were, but on the night the better team won and they needed it more". Speaking about Friday night Devlin said "All we can do is put out strongest team available to us and do well for the Club and the League"
Great to get Danny's suspension out of the way with Tuesday in mind, not a chance I'd risk Jake or Chris again with Tuesday in mind.
It would be a terrible shame if anybody got injured before Tuesday.
That's true :DQuote:

I'm quite worried that these guys are still carrying knocks. In particular Jake i know he got a run last week but we need the lads at full fitness for the playoff, seem to have been injured for the last few weeks with out full recovery:confused:
He needs to be rested to recover, he gets a knock tonight and we are fu**d for tuesday.Quote:

Fingers crossed it clears up a bit although it was bucketing down when i was leaving early this morning for work.Quote:

Yeah was in Bray this morning and it was bucketing down and the thought of previous games being called off due to the rain crossed my mind. I know it's a big if but how late would they leave it?? I suppose with it being the last game of the season they'd leave it as late as possible and Rovers not having far to travel as well.Quote:

I don't think a bit of rain will stop them if they've paid for their tickets.
I was thinking more of the extras that might turn up without a ticket and stand outside etc...Quote:
