Bray warned all patrons to attend early. Obviously to busy skulling pints before the game. We were in at 7.10. Wouldn't have been an issue if they have Q'd up when they arrived at the ground first.
I was in the que at 715 exactly and there was probably 200 in the que at that point, the problem was the lack of planning by Bray with only 2 selling tickets from the hatches. One club member was doing his best walking up and down the que offering to sell tickets for exact change only, but overall this was poorly managed when they knew a large away support would be going.
Next time I go I'll be getting my tickets at least 45 mins before ko if I arrive that early, but the traffic into the town was dreadful, took 20 -30 mins at least to get to the ground from the outskirts.
Are you for real , so fans should scuttle along like nice little customers at the behest of Bray Wanderers. I don't know about you but going to games is a social occasion and people are entitled to have a pint before hand as if they went just for the entertainment provided they wouldn't come back. The lack of proper organisation is systemic in the league , clubs whinge about poor crowds & then can't handle them when they do come.Its not just bray at fault for this either but the vast majority of clubs.Quote:

Good crowd and big turnout of that lot. As well behaved as always.

Including Bray, no excuses for em to be honest it's terrible planning on the clubs part.Quote:

What utter nonscience are you talking. I was on one of those buses and about 80 percent of us did queue up when the buses landed. It took nearly 30 mins to get a ticket as only two lads were selling them. One couldn't count and kept mischanging people. There were bray fans also queuing at this ticket office so yes bray are to mostly blame for this.Quote:

I can't believe what I'm reading. Is the LOI so flush with fans and support that the onus is on fans to organise tickets for games?Quote:

Nice video put together by Jungleview Derry supporters from the game.

Unlike said support who are mere criminals, up to their usual unpleasantness last night, but fair play to them it wasn't them who gave eugenics a bad name even if they made the phrase Shamrock Rover's scum a tautology.Quote:

I have no idea how to imbed them here but for those who want to be entertained the goals from First Division Champions 2016 Limerick FCs win v UCD are up on the club's Facebook page.
The club have apologised for the fact that it's only the goals but the video of the chances First Division Champions 2016 Limerick FC created was much much too large to upload.
That pitch is an affront to God.Quote:
