That's the part I enjoy for non Pats finals.Quote:

In fairness to the ground staff, it's usually been fine in the past.Quote:

Yeah the only time I can remember the Aviva pitch not being in good shape for the cup final was 2020 in the Dundalk vs rovers behind closed doors game. Dundalk then played Arsenal on it 5 days later and it was in unbelievably bad nick, the worst I’ve ever seen itQuote:

Playing Arsenal on a billiard table surface would have been fun, maybe thats where Filipo was all week, kicking lumps out of the pitch. Is the Aviva pitch hybrid? It really does hold up well regardless of the rugby. 1st time ever at Landsdowne was at the Ireland V Spain game in 1989, must have been mangled during the 5 Nations as it was a sight to behold, a thing of beauty when needing to lump it against Zubizaretta and co.Quote:

35,000 tickets now sold for Sunday according to the FAI.
Fantastic sales figure considering both sides are located outside of Diblin and one set of fans having to make a considerable journey to the game. I didn't expect 35k.Quote:

Really hope the toolbags down show up eitherQuote:

Two very different paths to the final, Derry had Pats and away to Bohs in semi to name two, and our friends Drogs, has to be the easiest route ever to a final, 1 relegated PD side, 1 non league and 2 FD sides, all games bar one at home !
You'd have to fancy Derry, but anything can happen on the day.
I'm still in a bit of disbelief about how big the crowd has become for the final.Quote:

This year, even with two two non-Dublin clubs, it's going to be double that.
Also, this has all happened in spite of the FAI and the shambles of the organisation.
Long may it continue indeed.
