If Rovers got the gig and they get some money, fair play to them. That they have to play the role of the Washington Generals to Liverpools Globetrotters is just something every club has to put up with to make a few bob. Equivalent to , but not as bad as, Shels and then Bohs, playing TV`s " The Dream Team. You take the money, go along with the hype, but just feel a bit dirty afterwards
I don't think you understand the concept of flat rateQuote:

Rovers won't get a percentage of ticket sales. There won't be anything like 1000 at the game, so covering costs isn't an issue. Throw Rovers E20k (or whatever keeps them happy, and best of luck to them with it obviously) and keep the rest of the money for Liverpool/the FAI.
Why should Rovers get more the more people pay in? This isn't Rovers' game.
You're still not getting it. Rovers will probably get paid even before the game takes place. I't will make no difference to them if there's 100 there or 50,000. The gamble with how many people show up is on the FAI's shoulders.Quote:

so the fai will shell out more money to both clubs then what there going to take in , no wonder the country is fcukedQuote:

A percentage fee for Rovers would be more expensive than a flat fee, and that defeats the point of this game.
look to be honest ive lost interest here , i couldnt care if no body turns up , either way i wont be given my money to rovers or the fai to see 2 depleted teams play a game of ball that no player on show has any interest in playing !!! i.d rather pay money to the 2 fai junior cup finalists who play a few weeks later at the same venue !!!!Quote:

Even though it's probably an appearance fee, the bottom line is that it's a nice little earner for Rovers, they'll probably get more from this than they would winning the setanta cup.
The FAI just needed someone to play, they clearly don't give a damn beyond that.
Although the likes of Pats might feel aggrieved that they were overlooked for the game as champions.
wait and see what figures come out , already said earlier that the world cup players wouldn't travel and got shot down only to be proved right by a statement which was released by liverpool and when these figures come out after the 14th I,m sure ill be right again !!!!!!Quote:

Realistically, this will sell out for no other reason than it's in the Aviva and the possibility they'll play some stars. That alone will attract a lot of people who wouldn't bother going to see Manchster United XI in Tallaght or Liverpool XI at UCD. It's a shame it's not being advertised as Shamrock Rovers XI as I'd be surprised if it was even as strong as Rovers' Setanta team.
chin up charlie , no harm in bowing down to a cork man !! on a serious note id rather see a full venue on the 25th of may for the junior final and the money given to these clubs than to liverpool who dont exactly need it !!!Quote:

The details aren't ever going to be officially released so calm down on the "I'll be proved right" BS
All we know is that Rovers will make a good few quid out of the game and that there'll be at least 30,000 people there (I think it'll sell out).
charlie ,yes keeping the money in this country and improving our game is vital !! dodge to be honest with out the big guns travelling I cant see this selling out but you never know , if they come as league champions it could be a different story but either way a great coup for rovers if it draws a big crowd !!!
Brilliant!Quote:

Who organised this anyway? If it wasn't Rovers themselves then why Rovers rather than for example Pats as the Champions? For the record I'm not at all bothered which LOI team is involved (unless they want Longford!). Just curious.
Warrior maybe???Quote:
