Nah, we be able to charge a lot more than 14.99.

If we put them on the web-site for that price, they'd all be snapped up by Cork fans.

I'm surprised it doesn't say "We Are The Champions"

Is it just another wind-up then? I couldn't find anything on the website.

Only because Pats got a draw in Oriel this year!

Easy to get onboard now that they're 2-0 up.

Even Shels fans have given up. I've moved my opprobrium to Athlone now.

Easy on there. In 2003, we won 2 - 0 at home versus Da Drogs in play-off final, first leg.

In the second leg at United Park, we lost 3 - 0 and stayed in First Division. And we had 2 goals disallowed.

The memory is still vivid and raw....!

I know it's Maxi, but I'm still cringing for him. :bulgy:

I've nout against either team, so no real preference really. I fancy Cork to see it through though; as they've done before on the final day of the season in 2005 against a Stephen Kenny side. The weather will be poor and Kenny is a habitual bottler, unfortunately. I just hope the weather doesn't ruin the spectacle.

Jim McLaughlin at the head of it according to Gavin from the Demo!

Yes, he was there. Presumably, picking up tickets for family or friends. Jim is guaranteed a seat in Oriel Park, and I'd imagine quite a few LOI grounds.

I'd say all of them, without question.

We might squeeze him into Section O

All sold out in half an hour, unsurprisingly, with hundreds more in the queue. Sure we love the oul football. As mentioned elsewhere our attendance for our last league game of the season two years ago was in the region of 250.

We can but hope and dream.

The weather forecast for Friday in Dundalk isn't so bad actually. 12 degrees celsius with some rain and a light wind. What happened to all the talk of Ireland and Britain getting the blustery tail-end of Gonzalo this week? Was that just to be yesterday then?

Hopefully those 250 are there to enjoy Friday

This is partically correct, it was the last scheduled league game of 2012, however a week later 1,500 attended for the home leg of the play off v Waterford.

And a thousand travelled to Waterford for the 2nd leg when it seemed that we were going down.

I like the way there was a bit of extra space left over the word League just in case the word nearly had to be inserted later.

Still overcast and wet here, the wind has calmed down a lot since yesterday though. But sure who cares :) wind, rain or shine it'll be a fantastic night.

It's forecast to be showery with a light breeze.

Perfect conditions to allow both teams to play the ball on the deck.

How many do you think would go to this if there was no limit on the ground capacity? 10,000? 15,000? More? It's really like a cup final.

A bit of rain won't affect Cork too much as their players can walk on water.

We'd easily bring 2,000. More perhaps if there were tickets available.

I'd say it'd hit maybe 9,000 if both sets of fans had more allocation tbh but that's just opinion.

Cork would easily have 2000 or even more up for this.

This made me laugh.. we have played a lot of hoof ball but it's proved to be effective with o Sullivan winning a ridiculous amount of headers

Just watched a report from Dundalk on the RTE news. Unbelievably they interviewed our infamous "supporter". How does he manage to get all this attention. I give up.

hes probably happier with the attention than he would be if Dundalk won the thing

I'd say there's a lot of people just dying for it to backfire on him and we win it

Never underestimate schadenfreude as a motivational tool.

in the other great summer league (in Iceland) the team that was second all season long, played the leaders (who had led all season) in the final game and won in the 92nd minute of the game, the first time they headed the league table, in injury time of the final game.That proves beyond doubt that Cork would have been much better off if circumstances had them in 2nd place, ready to pounce and steal the title in the last game.

Oh, that's not like you, geysir. Surely you mean "the only great summer league"?

Amazing atmosphere down here before this game. Never seen this level of support from businesses and the general public for City. The green friday campaign has taken off. The city Hall was turbed green last night, UCC emailed all staff and students asking them to wear green on Friday and are having a photoshoot at the quad. Loads of businesses have said their employees will wear green and the echo and the radio stations are pushing it. Really is unprecedented for us. Loving it.

Good to see the league promoting the game.

Funny enough I have seen Dundalk play twice in the wind and heavy rain (the Setanta cup final and Bray away last week). Didn't get good results in either. Bad weather would have to favour Cark.

Hope the weather doesn't play a part.

Anyway I think that Dundalk will shade it, home advantage and all. Plus they have most of the stats going in their favour. So I thought I would shamelessly plug my blog! I've had feedback that its too mathsy, so be warned.
