Good luck to you though.
At least it pushes a Setanta Cup spot down the table.
With the new seats, Brandywell probably is now reduced to 6,000 - 7,000 for non-Euro games.Quote:

Brandywell will be full as it has been for every League Cup Final we previously hosted - and the resylt of the UEFA Cup game will be irrelevant. Shels are a big draw in Derry because we love to hate them so much - that alone will bring the crowds out.
The fact the top two teams in the country have qualified for the final would indicate that the cream has risen to the top.Quote:

As for our fans chosing, fortunately its easier for a fan to participate in two matches a week than a player.
There's always that of course.Quote:

£25 into the PSG game and the cost of the trip to Paris is enough without sandwiching this fixture in between and then a trip to Tolka on the 22nd.

But a good performance and even a result against PSG and we'll have 2000 - 3000 Bandwagoners looking for tickets on the Monday night.
Personally - Paris is looking like a cheap trip for a lot of us - I'm paying about £110 including 2 nights hotel, so what's another £10 - sure the Credit Union in Derry apparently still has a few quid to loan out:D
Is it true that they've gone 24 Hours these days? :DQuote:

Pats, UCD and Longford can all tell you about poor crowds at LC Finals.

As has been conclusively proven this season, your shower were unable to beat us in Richmond Park. So shut your treble hole!
So you are still Saints, though you're sporting a natty new Kildare avatar this season. Were they all out of Burberry....? ;) Or do you ride a horse bare back around the streets of Dublin ? :pQuote:

You may well get to grace my signature yet..... :D
I like horses.
But I don't like accumulators or trebles if you will. Shels for me - all hinges on what Fenlon and Bohs are at.
How can it be conclusive when we still have to play you on the 10th of November - and as far as I remember we got a draw, away from home when we weren't getting results in Dublin - remember you were the home teamQuote:

yeah cos i was waiting for you to say it.
we drew the first half 1-1, I notice you conveniently omitted that fact!
Well Oman scored in the 23 and 31 minute and Foley scored in the 40th to make it 2-1 going into half-time - so you actually lost the match overall and in both halvesQuote:

Yeah. 15k approximately in 2003
So you're backing Shels to win the FAI Cup? :o After all - you're claiming that we won't win any silverware this year...Quote:

So how can you say that City won't win any silverware, and then that's it's "Shels for me". It obviously can't be Shels for you to win the Cup, which therefore opens the possibility that we might win the cup, especially as you're not backing anyone else against us.Quote:

How did you work this out?Quote:

Shels lay on free buses for Derry trip:
http://www.shelbournefc.ie/news.php?id=472
Wonder if our Dublin Supporters Club can use them?
Is "free" a synonym for "We won't pay"?
You're entitled to half the tickets and 40% of the gate.Quote:

Moral dilemma for Shels. Do they:
a) demand their rightful allocation of tickets (3,000 or so), sell 100 and reduce the capacity of the ground, and reduce their share of the gate accordingly; OR
b) request only the tickets they need and be outnumbered by a factor of 50 by Derry fans.
Ollie must be tearing his hair out.........
PS the last time Shels ran free buses to Derry was the week after the Deportivo game when 50-70 fans showed up.
I'm a three time POTM award nominee.Quote:
