I think that was by about 7pm on Wednesday. There must be a lot more gone now.Quote:

How many tickets sold so far anyone know?
25,000 according to Dan McDonnell's newslatter this morning, so it's trending behind last year's final (which eventually reached 38k)
Super, will look great on TV
Of course there is the casual sports fans who will decide nearer the day, weather wary fans, tourists and the like, another 5-10,000 could be added!Quote:

I reckon anything above the 30,000 mark will be considered a success by the FAI.
Id say a good few Rovers fans havent bought yet, up to yesterday we had 3 matches to play before the Cup.final.
I only bought my ticket a couple of days ago.
Still will be way short of last year though
I'm heading the the final as a neutral (though have decided to buy in the Cork end).
Looking on Ticketmaster, there is limited Cork availability now but quite a lot for Rovers. I would therefore question where Ticketmaster/the FAI have drawn the line between the 2 teams in terms of tickets. I wonder have they given Rovers a few blocks too many, and Cork too few?
I think they release more blocks as orders increase and each club ask for more tickets due to demand.Quote:

35,000 tickets sold for the Cup final. 38,723 attended last year's final.
Great to see the cup final crowds so high every season, brilliant.
Still doing all the seat kills to keep the LOI peasants in check. I’m pretty sure it is another code that is more famous for pitch invasions.
Plenty of empty areas regardless.
Jesus that was a nasty challenge from Nevin. Honahan is lucky he hasn’t come away with a broken leg there, if his leg was planted it 100% would’ve been the case
No straight red for Burke in Tallaght but no referee hesitation when it is a clear red for an offence against Shamrock Rovers.
Rightband proper
As pointed out in the comms HN has only played 38 mins since August. Think someone else should have played instead!Quote:

Red card was the key moment. Only a Shamrock Rovers player would have avoided a red card for that! 😉 Great result for Bohs! Congratulations to Shamrock Rovers! Great hosts in the semi final.
Many thanks to shamrock rangers for helping Bohemian FC achieve European football next year. We will enjoy or day in the sun. Muchas gracias
Yeah think Rovers would of won it anyway but it just made Cork chances a lot slimmer with Nevin getting sent off just before half timeQuote:

Thought Cork were like Derry last year. Decided to beat themselves.
The red card threw the final.
But why take off Bolger and you center half after conceding??
Embarrassing descions.
Honestly thought Rovers were there to be beaten. Offered very little until the sending off.
Cork left it on the table
Not sure what game u were watching. It was over from thw startQuote:

Agree that the red card was key for the outcome, and as mentioned it probably would have been a yellow plus a strong word for a Shamrock Rovers player. A good atmosphere at and around, the aviva and a great crowd up from Cork. A bit of a negative was how late a section of the crowd took their seat before the start.
Doesn't matter who we draw or where they are from. We are in Europe and that's down to Shamrock rangers. It doesn't matter who we play or whether we win , we are there thanks to you. Muchas gracias amigosQuote:

I will never understand how someone employed in football would make the subs Cork did at the time they did after the 1st goal.
Why are you referring to them (twice) as Shamrock Rangers? Is it a dig that only you know the meaning of?Quote:

Well that explains the weird name you keep insisting on calling them then...Quote:

Overall, an underwhelming final but fair play to Rovers a double is a special achievement
Neck on the line here. The most recent large crowd records have all included Bohs, and yet they want to build a 6k capacity stadium! at Dalymount???Quote:

McGintys saves when it was nil all were huge. Two of them were excellent saves. One deflected in front of him and the header that he got up and stopped the rebound as well even though that was offside. Great goalie.
Shamrock Rangers? What are you like 12 years old?Quote:
