Cup Final not even mentioned on the cover of today's Irish Times Sports section. Some typically pompous and self-important piece by Tom Humphries on TG4 given prominence instead. Hope there's a huge crowd so that these creeps feel some shame about their lack of coverage.

If I end up in Dublin tomorrow, what are my options, ticket wise?

Are they being sold at the stadium, I'd have thought not..?

BonnieShels talked to the FAI, and they say there'll be a stall selling tickets outside the Berkeley Court Hotel, just on Lansdowne Road. That's where I'm planning on getting mine

Anyone who thinks infrastructure doesn't have an impact on the perception of the league is living in la la land.

Anybody who goes to the football and actually notices the facilities is a ****, plain and simple.

I'd tend to agree, but just because is shouldn't make a difference doesn't mean it doesn't

Most visitors to Jackman never notice facilities of any kind.

That is actually meant to be him. It was originally an Arthur Guinness day window display, he used to have a pint of Guinness in front of him.

Just discovered that I can't go. I'm absolutely furious, it's the biggest loi event in years - bumper crowd cup final in the Aviva. Hugely disappointing.

There is info about it on the FAI site . Tickets available for the top tier level 5 and booths will be open on Shelbourne rd and northumberland ave. It could possibly be a sell out.

Thanks Peadar but it was punkrocket that talked to the FAI. Never mind though the lep is here to the rescue.

It seems to have become a real LOI event, be great if the Cup FInal could be as popular at the end of every season.

I forecast a 2:0 win for the hoops.
A well dodgy peno, converted by turner and a twigg break away goal with 5 mins to go.
nice guys tend to finish second.

Turner penalty hitting the crossbar and adjudged to cross the line, ideally...

Though I think it'll be a tight goalless ET game..

Paddy Powers go:

Shamrock Rovers 6/4 Draw 11/5 Sligo Rovers 7/4

Predict a draw,predict a cagey cup final match and Sligo getting a late extra time winner.

Whats the state of play with Sligo fans re: Turner?? Is he still a turncoat bolli* in their eyes, or is that forgotten??
Not trieing to kick somthing off here,just a question??

He's not our favourite player in the league but I think we'll be too busy supporting our own players to worry too much about him

Could it be possible to promote the final as a League of Ireland day out, distributing tickets to all clubs and all said supporters attending in own club colours as in the Rugby League Challange Cup final at Wembley. It is seen as the ultimate day out in Rugby League circles wether your team is competing in the final or not. That's how there are capacity attendences. Very unlikely if just dependent on the crowds of the 2 finalists.

Thanks mate. Sitting here in Dublin in an Internet Cafe right now and can't wait for the game. So hopefully the crowd will big and the game great.

Btw, (Eisern) Union Berlin is a very likeable club, but I'm actually from Rostock, (my flight just went from Berlin) and I'm Hansa Rostock fan. :)

Says its available worldwide online so you should be able to watch it. Alas, the FAI doesn't seem to have been able to find a buyer outside RTE for the worldwide rights so they're stuck with them :p

Anecdotal evidence suggests the hangover effect is going to have an effect on attendances.
