Cup Final

Says in local paper that Sligo Rovers have nearly sold 10,000 ticket allocation. I bought mine, on Tuesday (raging, should have gone in early) and there were just a few tickets left for the South (110) and West stand (128).

How many can Shams bring?
What's Sligo's best estimate for maximum Sligo crowd 12,500? 13,000?
It looks like the lower tier (20,000) should sell out no problem.
What about filling the 18,500 in the upper tier?

Compared to being blown out of it in Tallaght last cup final and waiting for cold chips and drinks at half-time -- ain't this some S***

Was told there might be some premium level seats opened. I know from the ireland games i was at, the view in lower East stand is quite poor particularly in first 10-15 rows. Quite difficult to see far side of pitch. Going on sales so far should be a great occasion

Those unfortunate enough to have 10 year tickets for the Aviva are entitled to attend the cup final as part of that package. So id imagine the premium level will be open also.

Wonder will the 24,000 crowd for the Drogs / Cork final be topped ? Probably will, given according to various sources there must be 20,000 tickets sold already.

Whatever you do, don't bend over..

We'll try to bring a few up for you - might do no harm to broaden your gene pool a wee bit.

What does that diagram on the previous page mean? What do the colours symbolise? Also, there have be tickets available on the day. The two clubs have sold great amounts but the neutrals on the day could really help the overall attendance. It's going to be a huge crowd.

There is huge scope for neutrals to attend this game, especially given the prices on offer.

However, the way the tickets are being distributed ignores this potential.

Is there are family area set aside for neutrals?

Sections behind the north goal in green are Ultras

Next 3 sections are family sections, all the rest are unreserved sections. Anything with an x has been sold out by Rovers.

Do them good to get new stock, they must be sick of them horses roaming around estates in Dublin. :p

Would love to be going to this. It will be some day for the LOI. Would be great to see RTE doing big advertising for it and a bg build up. If it keeps selling tickets like it already has it deserves it.

if I was to guess I would say that ticketmaster had to delay the general sale due to the lower tier being nearly full Im sure that on Saturday the tickets on sale will be the upper sections not to open it would be madness.

They expect to sell 10,000 in the club shop, close to 7,500 were sold by yesterday but many were holding back to buy until more Childrens tickets became available today. So 10,000 plus those who decide to travel on the day.

Whats the views of the Shams fans on the story that the FAI apparently have slashed the FAI Cup prizemoney?

At times like this it's a pity that Paul the Octopus is no longer with us.

But I'm going to take a wild stab and say they'll be against it.

How much would a taxi cost from Amien st. to Landsdowne Road?? or would a bus be the way to go?

For the West stand, dart or 7 bus from o connell st to ballsbridge and walk.

For the East stand, 3 from o connell st through Ringsend and walk

Jump on the dart or stay on the train.

is it true that shams are going to live up to their pikey name and march behind a horse to lansdowne? genuinely interested?

We can't let them outdo us! There's still over a week to go - surely we can organise a whole flock of sheep.

We should walk the track from Sligo- Connolly, then do the Luas to the O2 and back, then the Dart line to Lansdowne.
