Yeah, draw made but kick off time not confirmed. Hopefully away fans are taken into account in planning K.O. time.

Yeah, draw made but kick off time not confirmed. Hopefully away fans are taken into account in planning K.O. time.
When the draw was made for the Semi-finals it's said that the Final would be on Setanta (Eir) on September 17th. I assume we are waiting on Eir for a kick off time. 6:30 won't clash with any big game in the English premier league and would allow Pats fans to travel down and be home at a respectable time. It's the time our fans have got used to also so would help with the attendance. Probably be set for 2pm.
Everton vs Middlesbrough on at half 5, should be ok for a 6/6:30 kick offQuote:

Think it was 5.30 when we were down in Dundalk too. I guess it gives them time to wrap up before their English football highlights, which are on around eight I think.
Don't know why you would think that. A trophy is a trophy. Chance for Pats to continue a run of a trophy every year for the last three seasons. I think we'll be up for it. Limerick should have a great support, which will obviously be in their favour. Should be a god game anyway. Both managers favour expressive passing football. (God, that sounded worryingly like Fran Gavin!)Quote:

Limerick v St pats September 17th tickets went on sale to the public Monday iv been told it's already close to a sell out stand sold out very limited terrace left
By your information I presume they have agreed on a capacity for this game so?Quote:

From what I heard they managed to get capacity up to the 5,000 mark. They will be keeping turnstiles/main entrance for stand only. Then the two big gates will feed the terrace from either side of the stand. Pats fans then will come in as normal through the away entrance for that stand and I assume the terrace around there.
The stand tickets didn't go on general sale, Season Ticket Holders, Official Supporters Club, Blue Army Loyalty and the FAI have taken them.
Terrace tickets were on sale at the Oman and Waterford games.
General sale on now and as far as I know under 12's are sold out and terrace going very fast.
A lot of fans are going to be really peed off about not getting stand tickets but to a certain extent it is out of the clubs hands. I've a feeling this final may cause a lot of bad will towards the club as much as good will.
Have the stand tickets been distributed yet? No one seems to know when they'll be given to the relevant groups yet.
No, they are still making sure everyone is allocated their tickets before they distribute them. Probably available in the next few days. A lot of season ticket holders were being contacted yesterday about tickets.Quote:

The clubs biggest problem is going to be people turning up on the night. You could nearly guarantee people will leave it till last minute, float up and be absolutely outraged that they can't get in.Quote:

This is Limerick no matter what happened some people were going to have a moan. Its not really even a club event so they don't have much control over it. I suppose its easy for me to say being part of one of the groups getting stand tickets but I don't see what else they could have done with em tbf.Quote:

Yeah, my Dad's a case in point, he'll go into the terrace without much grumbling, but he's shocked at how hard it is to get stand tickets.
How many tickets did Pats get for it?
Not sure. The away stand holds 350 afaik. So I'd guess 600-700 between stand and terrace. I assume if more were requested by a certain date they could be sent up.Quote:

Not for a league cup game. Brought about 300 to Galway. I'd imagine this will be similar. 170 booked on a train anywayQuote:

How many tickets allocated to St Pats?Quote:

Not sure but a pats fan reckons they will have around 300-400 travelling. Stand alone holds 360 so between that and terrace they should have had more than enough tickets. Unless a bigger crowd is travelling than expected. It's a final so I assume they were actually entitled to 50% of the tickets if they wanted?Quote:

Shaping up be a good occasion , the is a few hundred going on the train & I'm sure more will be making their own way down.
No, that's not how the LC final works (not that it's ever an issue)Quote:

So there will be over 5,000+ at this game on Saturday allegedly, but in the FAI & Limerick FC's mind-sets there will be officially 4,200 tickets sold and in attendance............!
It's all about the money!
