If you want to pay for half the population of Wexford town, that's your business, I'd have expected the adults at least to pay for themselves. €10 less on the price wouldn't seem to make much diference to me, you probably spent more than that on petrol to bring them to the game, though no doubt that's "Dublin"'s fault too.Quote:

My point is that €5 for U10s is wrong, they should be free with a paying adult. Ever wonder why the crowds might be low at Belfield?? Also, with the very nature of kids, you would think the club would have a shop or something to buy them crisps, or drinks etc.Quote:

Very much doubt having kids in for free would be a panacea to our crowds.Quote:

I'm not going to drag this argument on and on but the tickets were pre-printed as 'Premier League Match' with the price stated on them. I must assume that it is the standard charge at Belfield.Quote:

200 kids at €5 a pop or 300 kids for nothing
I'd know which makes more financial sense...
They can't get 200 adults (apologies, I mean students) for their home games let alone kids.Quote:

There's only a 50:50 chance our reserves will face you in the 'A Championship'.;)Quote:

Depends if you're talking short term vs medium-to-long term financial sense though.Quote:

Without getting all Wacko Jacko, kids are the future...
Leave them to it DCFC Steve. They are quoting 200 kids at €5 a go when they only drew 200 in total with over 50 of us as away support. I think the maths students were having a lie down that day. Lord knows what information they put down on the grant application form
The 200 kids was probably a probability figure that they found on a spreadsheet. Divorced, of course, from the actual reality of their situation...Quote:

I have no real interest of the happenings at the Bowl
Cork v Wexford
Galway v Derry
Had really been hoping for a home draw. It'll be next to impossible in Cork. Just have to hope they think it's a fore gone conclusion and don't turn up on the night.
Cork v Wexford
Galway v Derry
Obviously two clear favorites in these games but with a once off game you never know
Shame Wexford din't get Cork at home.
We're supposed to play 4 games in 8 days that week.Quote:

If so, Given the amount of travelling and the importance of the other games I'd be expecting a lot of our reserves to line out for this .
I certainly wouldnt be writing off your chances completely.
Woo Hoo! That'll be a piece of p1ss! Seriously though, it didn't really matter who we got. I suppose you never know in a once off cup match but I'm just delighted we got this far.
Indeed. Galway Utd V. Wexford Youths in the Final.Quote:

This is a game that i'd put all on the shoulders of the A squad, they have to step up now sort this out, play and get themselves to a final. This is what they are being called upon for so hopefully they can show they can do the business.
Its gonna be epic !!
You're almost a week late on this one A FaceQuote:

I expect Matthews to field strong side even though we have a lot of games as our squad is very thin. Suspension will allow a few players have a break.

Just warning you in case you expect more free entertainment.
Why was this thread merged? I have to wade through pages of posts about previous rounds to get to the current stuff about the semi-final draw. Mods, please don't turn the eL forum into the Irish International one with 150-page long threads.
