Well lads tickets out tomorrow. I think City will bring 12,000 to this. What about Dundalk. Should be a good game. On league form Dundalk will start as massive favourites for this one, but on a good day City are a match for anyone.

I'm hopeful we can reach 10,000 fans. That would be 30% of the town.
Cup finals are very hard to predict. This will be a new experience for a lot of the players.
Is Dundalks population not 38k. Sorry just nit picking I know.Quote:

In saying that I know of a lot of folk who wouldn't darken Oriel's door but want to go to this. Also the misses is going, wanted to take my 2 year old but don't think she will settle for it.
You would expect a great crowd from the PROC also. It has the making of being a cracker.
also heard that Cork have been given the larger side of the ground

Both sets of supporters in the East Stand initially. I'd imagine Dundalk will stretch around the North Stand and Cork around to the South Stand. Strange though seeing as previous finals had one set of supporters in the North Stand and one in the South Stand.
Maybe though, this is just for general sale purposes on ticketmaster.
http://media.ticketmaster.co.uk/tm/e...uk2/13151s.gif
Anyone know when general sale tickets are available? Nothing online yet.
I'm not buying tickets to sit in a corner or behind a goal.
So, buy in Block 103? Still a designated area for Dundalk fans.Quote:

Tickets sold through the clubs rather than Ticketmaster could potentially lead to some profit for the clubs depending on totals sold.
The mother was good enough to get mine for me as I was in work. Block 115 also, can't wait
Big crowds out in the club shop today... Any truth the FAI never sent down kids tickets.
Singing sections 114 and 115. Should be a belter of an atmosphere up there by both sets of fans.
Just found out my ticket has Block 114 on it, not 115 I'd previously thought. As per your post strikeforce, its still the singing section so that's grand.Quote:

I'm sure Corks will be the same

It's just a force of habit. When people stand in an all seater area venue it appears to be sparsely populated. About 1.5 person to 1 seat.
Hiding flares, drink, roll up cigarettes they all seem to smoke, warmth, a safety in numbers type thing maybe? It all looks a little to 'cosy' to me at the back of the shed in Oriel or huddled together at away games.
I'm a season ticket holder in 116, I'll be a neutral for the final so anyone know where my ticket will be moved?
Dont see an issue with anyone drinking at a game (Athlone stewards last year even gave some of them plastic glasses) and Bray away this year, took glass bottles off them but allowed them to drink cans.Quote:

I stand at the back of the Shed and at the back at away games, as its a far better view! Dont get what you mean about "cosy" back there.
Against ground regulations?!
Lawds !! STOP
So is cursing....You would have nobody left in the ground if all regulations were adhered tooQuote:

I expect to see hundreds getting kicked out of Oriel Friday, as you will be pointing out every ground regualtion broke by anyone to the stewards.Quote:

I can guarantee you if the stewards start taking cans off the lads in the Shed, You will reduce the attendence of the Shed by at least 10%! The money men in Oriel know this and thats why they dont do anything/care
We've had ours in 107 since Landsdowne got done up, for the cup final expect the usual FAI clusterf*ck of complete disorganisation. ST holders get bumped up to premium level for the cup final but you have to collect the premium tickets at the ground before the game, usually one poor fecker at a hole the wall/ hatch listening to ST holders give out that the FAI can't organise a **** up in a brewery and they'd be right. Your ST won't scan for the game. On the bright side it got that ridiculous last year trying to get the premium tickets that some FAI suit just walked out and started handing as many out to anyone and everyone as they asked for just to get us all to feck off away from them. Ended up with 12 premium tickets for our 7 ST's so sorted a few other lads out with the extra.Quote:

Really :(
Cans it is :p
Give over will ye! I mentioned concealment of drink, flares, drugs (and sarcastically warmth) as examples of why a phalanx of supporters can occur. It is particularly noticible in seated areas that are sold out but have obvious empty seats. Are you saying that items that there's an attempt to confiscate dont get passed around to foil stewards or Gardai, or that pitch invaders/missile throwers etc havent been hidden?? You would have a birds eye view! Drink isnt a problem either though the world over contentious fixtures are played early afternoon as drink filled folk behave impeccably at all times. You prattle on about cursing, children playing and endorse ignoring ground regulations as some of them are impractical...yup a well considered opinion typical of that given by the likes of those who approached Cork City fans last season golf balls in pocket forgotten after a morning round of small ball.
As for people being kicked out or Oriel...you really are having a laugh - you could point out a multiple child killer in Oriel Park or an attempted arsonist and the stewards would shrug and ignore it, possibly out of fear. Anyway no more from me on this.
We dont allow drinking in the ground down in the cross, and I've often seen lads being tossed out when caught. To say that if stewards tried to throw out people caught with cans that there would be a 10% decrease in fans populating the shed....... lunatics ruling the asylum springs to mind.
Still no kids tickets down Leeside... Disgraceful action by the FAI again.:question::question::question:
[QUOTE=dundalkfc10;1843299]To be fair though, at the game on Thursday there one of the lads was straight from work and brought a full bottle of whiskey in with him in his bag that we were skulling throughout the game!Quote:

FYI, you can swap your ST upgraded ticket for 'normal' ticket. I did it directly with Derry City, but others swapped them with the FAI on the day.
It's still a disgrace.
Any idea what kickoff time is?
3.30 - not enough text apparently, lets try submitting it now.
That's not the case. Drink is sold throughout the stadium up until 15 minutes before kick off (and during half time)Quote:

I'd say Dundalk could win this handy enough if I'm honest. Our preparation is shocking, we are playing ****e football at the moment. I have never seen a City team get boo'd off the pitch by so many fans as tonight. We were woeful.
Next week will tell it's own storyQuote:
