This has to be the greatest bandwagon ever! Sleeping over night for tickets! FFS!
We've a small home crowd an know the faces, so thank those dundalk fans for me for their 15 euro despite the fact that they won't get in! :-)

Those Dundalk fans must be very exciting about playing their fierce local rivals if they're camping out overnight for tickets.
20,000 - ever so slight exaggeration there!
I went up to Oriel this morning and turned back when I saw the length of the queue.
I have "home" tickets and am going to the game with 10 lads who are in a similar position. We'll go in in ones and twos. There will be plenty of other Dundalk fans there.
I don't know how true the queuing overnight is but if it is isn't it nice to see something like this for the game here. We're always giving out about poor attendances so it's a change to see a bit of demand for tickets.
As for your point on the stewards recognising all the home crowds, I doubt they'll stop anyone who isn't wearing colours into the home side. I've sat in with home crowds at plenty of grounds without any bother and I imagine this will be the same.
Ok but if you stand there with a 15e ticket with home written on it and don't get in, don't say ye werent warned! :-)
If this actually happens it would be utterly completely ridiculous.
Been to plenty of fiercer derby's on the Continent and there is always away fans in the stadium outside the away end. As long as no fans are making or looking for trouble who are drogheda to reject them.
I would expect a response from anyone who was told no even though they paid 15 euro.
The amount of rubbish you come out with is staggering. First saying that more than 600 Dundalk fans wanting to go to a cup semi-final against their nearest neighbours is a bandwagon!!!
And then saying that Dundalk fans who have home tickets won't get in is ridiculous, how can the stewards know where they're from and who they support?
You said you have a small home crowd and know the faces, so I assume that there will be about ~400 Drogheda fans at the game? Not possible that people from Drogheda who haven't been to a game all season will attend (is that a bandwagon as well?)?
In fairness to you, you are entertaining!
True. Drogheda fans are beautiful people.

Should be a cracker anyway,hopefully common sense prevails and most who travel get in.A cup final would be a great way to end a fantastic season
People will be asked to come to the game barefoot and if you have 6 toes on each foot, you're free to go into the home end. Otherwise, you'll be refused entry.
Jaysus H, the wit levels truely are pathetic on this site these days. Though in saying that, the picture is very funny!
I'm very relaxed sure didn't I even pay you a compliment ;-)
You're right about the regulations in theory but in reality there will be Drog fans there that aren't regulars, impossible to tell the difference between them and Dundalk fans.
Anyway this could all have been avoided if ya's had just built that new stadium a few years back!
We got more tickets today, 150 Ive been told. On Sale in Oriel in last half an hour until 6pm
Would like to see a Dundalk/Sligo final.
Missing Peersie and Dave McMillan. Don't see us doing it against Shams the way our midfield is/isn't playing.
I know it's unlikely, but if anyone comes across a stream that works in the UK I will be forever grateful!
Just not another Drogs vs Sham Rovers final is all I ask
Doesn't work in the UK either, but thanks.
Fun times in Drogheda! Dundalk down to 9 men.
Dundalk absolutely imploding. 2 reds in a few minutes and penalty to come..
Scored.. Drogheda in a great position now.
That's 4 reds against Drogheda in their last three cup games.
I can understand the refs decision but in real time both tackles looked like yellow to me. Very interesting second half to come
On first look the first was harsh but by the replay it was a red, studs up and flying in.
The second never a red.
Dundalk FM must be pretty funny right now. Can't get the stream working unfortunately.
First was a Yellow, second was not a peno or a red.
Brilliant performance from Dundalk. Buttimer takes another big cup game and ruins it!
Quite an unbelievable game. Ist red was just messy, had to go. 2nd wasn't even a penalty.
Ref ruined the game, simple as that.
If that's the standard or reward for a side getting to the FAI cup final, with less than 1,000 home fans bothering to turn up, I give up.
I didn't think either decision was that bad to be honest. First was a stupid, dangerous tackle and the second denied a shooting chance in the box.
