Because you're playing at a venue not too far away so should out-number Derry fans handy enough.

LMAO

It would be great to be fair if the Big club could even get within a thousand or two of our support for the final. Then hopefully we could fill the place between us and would be a great advertisment for the league.

Still don't forsee anyone having a problem getting a ticket for this.Our board was told "as many tickets as you's want"!

If the weather is okay I can see the local LOI fans turning up as it does look like being a good tie.

The last time Bohs played in a cup final in Dublin 4 (1992) the crowd was over 17,000.

Therefore, it would be safe to say that a sizeable portion of that crowd would have been from Cork.

Newspapers at the time reported that Bohs had between 5-6,000 at the game , Cork had about 9-10,000 with the rest made up of neutrals and Rovers fans cheering for Cork on what I remember as a blustery May day. Dont think either Bohs or Derry will attract that many at the tail end of November.

Instead of trying to engage them in some form of constructive argument which appears futile, the decision was taken to reply to the numerous posts from them by simply stating "minnows". It seems to wind you lot up as much as a section of your support loves to wind us up. Again, any "political" references come from posters who are tired of the rubbish spouted on the message board. Then there are those who have registered on your site recently, im sure they have the same reasons for doing this, not that i would agree with it. I have better things to do than register on opposition supporters message boards.

thebohs.com moderators could just ban those involved in this rubbish (like many other forums do) but they like to take a liberal approach to moderating which is their call. If opposition posters come on with genuine questions, as a few corkies and others do, they will be treated with respect.

marty88 and his buddies deserve the responses they are currently getting on the Bohs board, its that simple.

SkStu, i have no desire at all to prolong this tit for tat post, but i can't let you away with coming on here and blaming all the abuse on your forum on Derry City supporters. I have looked long and hard at your forum, and i can't find any posts from 'Marty' who you keep on about. I have seen a few posts from 'Brandywellpride' and 'football club'. They asked a simple question on cup final tickets and got nothing but abuse in return. Have a look and see how many posters came out with 'minnows', rather than answer what was being a genuine question. if you take a good look on your own forum, you will see that any posts relating to the final start off with an attack on Derry City supporters. Here have a look. Then you can apologise.

Thanks for backing me up. 'Marty'. has had one post on the Bohs forum since the semi final. He has 4 for the month of October. His last post was to praise Heary, and the one before that was to congratulate Bohs on winning the league, and the other two were not derogatory in any way. This all just shows that SKStu is well to the front when it comes to being a WUM.

Ps SKStu you have made as many posts on here in the last couple of days as 'Marty' has on the Bohs forum for the last Month. The difference being your posts were derogatory.

There was about 10/12,000 City fans there that day, got absolutely soaked.
Awful day, Awful game , awful performace, I do recall that the Bohs support was made up of a lot of kids that day, such was the high pitch squealing that went on when Tilson scored.

Agenda, i have only been replying to an other's apparent agenda. I haven't the time or the inclination to go through all of 'Marty's' posts, but i have gone back through the 1st page right up to August. and Marty hasn't been abusive in any of his posts. However he has been on the receiving end of a multitude of crude and abusive comments. Just have a wee read yourself.

derogatory?! Come of it Derry, are you that sensitive?? i can get derogatory if you want you starry mutha!er...

Marty and the bohs mb have a torrid history and id suggest YOU read that and then apologise to ME. Not that i care either way whether you do or not.

And in fairness, I think anyone reading the thread will see that it is the Derry fans and the constant jibes, attempted "point scoring" and petty remarks that are the real WUMs in all this. Im simply trying to not let you m*nno#s have it all your own way. And whether i succeed in that or not doesnt bother me cos i am having a bit of craic doing it.

LoI supporters fans comparing gates or support base is as useless an exercise as can be. All support bases in this league are pathetic. Its a redundant argument. Our support was less pitiful than yours !

I couldnt care less if I was the only one supporting my side at a cup final - especially if we won. Looking back at cup matches I dont really remember if we out numbered the opposition or not, what I remmber is that back pass, that missed tackle, that referee's decision or that cracking goal.

If you are lucky enough to have scored more goals than the other team at full time I can guarentee you that how many you had there versus how many they had, doesnt come into it. You just savour the moment.
And conversely I cant cling to the crumb that we outnumbered the opposition 2 to 1 in a situation where we have just lost a cup final. It really doesnt matter. It doesnt numb the pain.

Spot on.
The more Derry fans and assorted Bohs-hating rabble are there to see the Champions of Ireland win the double, the better.
That's what it's all about, not this incessant and pathetic bleating about crowd differentials that would be eye-wateringly funny if it wasn't such a sad indicator of the state of the game.

Probably the latter from all the games they played by them against us anyway.

Update on ticket prices.

From Derry city chairman.

The FAI have asked us to encourage the 'singing' sections from each club to go behind the nets - prices behind the nets will be 15 Euro for Adults and 5 Euro for a child and its open seating with no specific seat numbers etc...

The 2 stands will be 25 Euro for adults and 10 Euro for kids with specific seat numbers[/quote]

Another genius stroke by the FAI - encourage the most vocal, atmosphere-creating fans to go into the parts of the stadium with no roof (so sound dissipates upwards) and where if the weather is bad (high chance) the atmosphere will be literally dampened.

Honestly - do the FAI make decisions like this to be deliberately stupid, or is it just a subconscious skill by now....?

Agreed, I still think the singing sections from both sets of fans should ignore them and go into the Anglesea stand.

Ridiculous advice from the FAI. Hopefully both sets of fans will ignore completely.

I don't think they thought about the weather when making that suggestion. More likely they just wanted it to look good on telly.

Incomprehensible post, are you referring to the UCD game? About 200 Bohs fans there from what I could guesstimate and less than a hundred not applauding when Bohs scored, dreadful crowd , dreadful night. Are you referring to the Derry game ? Looked about 2,800 -3,000 to me with about max 50 Derry fans there and usual compliment of faux Lambeg Drums and Pat the Rat banners. Are you talking about a season average? Circa 2,000 which is pathetically 3rd highest in the league,.....What relevance does your post , as far as I can understand it,have for a cup final thread???

I don't know how many was at that game but the stand was about 2/3 full. So how many does it hold? Of these there had to be close to 1000 kids. There were very few in the rest of the ground.

Derry have asked for an initial allocation of 7,000 tickets.

Also - the referee for the Final has been appointed - it's Anthony Buttimer

Don't think Buttimer will make much difference as they're all crap.

I think we should sell out those 7,000 quick enough.If the Derry public were told thats all we were getting they would sell out within a week though :D

Do anyone know how many Bohs have asked for yet?

not yet confirmed - should know in next day or two.
I'm actually glad it's Buttimer - he's not that bad and certainly an entertaining man-manager

LMFAO ! Bohs pick-up a bit of silverware once every five years if they're lucky, and they suddenly think they're Real Madrid...! :o

Don't worry - it'll be back to your usual trophyless ways again next season fella.... :cool:

And a Bohs' fan trying to criticise City over support ? For everything else in life there's Mastercard...
