I dunno, Pats are not playing well at the moment, and if Pats score early against them, they have a good chance of taking the points. However, it will depend on which Pats team turns up.

After seeing that draw, i think it will be a Sligo - Fingal final.
Great draw for Fingal as for Waterford I reckon Hendo will be disappointed with the draw, although he'd take a draw up there!
I was hoping for a Sligo v Waterford final for a good crowds sake but Sligo v Bray will have to do
Lets just all pray Francise dont get there
Agreed. But they must be favourites now.Quote:

It's a Dublin game for us so no long travel for us, this will keep the players focused. We have kept our best preformances for away games this season - Wins in both Dalymount and Tallaght.

I think it's time the semi finals were played on a neutral venue. Home advantage is too important especially when a team has to travel a long distance it's not fair on their fans.
Jesus, Bray Head, clubs have few enough marquee fixtures to promote as it is without taking one away, throw them a bone here. Sligo vs. Waterford and Fingal vs. Bray in neutral venues would be financially disastrous for the hosts and the competing teams.
How about the one that "the buck stops with everyone", a bit odd I thoughtQuote:

Sligo/Waterford v Bray has to be the preferred option now...
Insert name v Bray is my choice
Didn't they get knocked out in the first round?Quote:

Neutral venues wouldnt work in this lge.
I really don't think Waterford would bring anymore to thew final than Bray would.Quote:

Our fans are crazy like that though. One day you could get 2000, the next day you could have 200.Quote:

unless Waterford win the semi and the opposing club gets a phone call from "someone" at the FAI.................Quote:

I would have thought that Sligo would bring the biggest crowd of the lot - any excuse to get out of the Northwest for an afternoon;)
As regards the best match of the semis and any possible finals, I would suggest that it could be the semi in Sligo.
But then again, I would, wouldn't I.

Bit of a turn around
You might all be surprised at the attendance of the cup final this year, it may well be bigger than anyone expects, I think there is a similar feel to this year`s cup to the 1990 final, the one where almost 30,000 attended Bray v St Francis.
Apart from Cork v Drogs a few yrs ago, overall attendances have been poor in the final, our last one in 2002 had just under 10,000 v bohs in tolka.
