Ye true, it would be great exposure so that the whole of Island of Ireland can see our fantastic facilities. It is truely a fantastic venue for Eircom League standards as some clubs have seen when they came too play.

Fantastic result for Youths tonight. Well done.

Would yez move it to Waterford, perhaps (if you get home advantage)? Surely that'd be easier for the locals instead of trekking up to Dublin.

If wexford get a home draw, then play it in wexford. F**k the barstoolers. Would be madness to give up home advantage for a cup final, especially when its their first one.

Ferrycarrig is a fine venue & won't affect the home suppport, its not like the club need the money by switching it to a nuetral venue.

You having a giraffe??? For an away fan it's one of the worst in the league, disgraceful treatment of away fans down there too.

How is it disgraceful. The away support sit in the stands most of the time. The worst I seen is Dundalk and Shels. Drunken mess they were.

Great result for Wexford against a strong Cork side at home, another nail in Matthews coffin.

I was told i wasn't welcome in the stands on more than one occasion and the chipper van should be condemned as well as very heavy handed stewarts (all but one that is, he was a hero)

The stewards take no **** alrite. It is due too those two sets of supporters, the Gardai had to be called in as the shels fans were on the warpath. Skitz, who do you follow?

Away fans can use the stand. Away fans always take up far end of the stand, no one seems to stop them. One can only wonder why you keep getting stopped.

There's a difference between taking no **** and being heavy handed. I support Shels and when were we on the warpath?

Bit of a strong word warpath by myself which i take back, but most your fans were drunk and the nature of their attitude was not shined upon by fellow supporters who had kids in the line of fire.

At the end of the day its nothing against you personally but your fans weren't on there best behaviour on their last visit which was not too the liking of the stewards or the Gardai. The FAI officer in the south east is at every Wexford and Waterford game and the security, safety of supporters is paramount but if supporters are not adhering those standards...well you know what can happen. Wexford is been promoted as family club, local based. If parents see that supporters both home and away cause problems and get away with it would you bring your kid back, the answer is no which Mick Wallace and co. are trying too avoid.

This thread below, a St. Pats fan mentions the great welcome.

what a great night in Cork (just back) the atmosphere was electric and the longest last five minutes in the world.

draw for home advantage was already made it was whoever won tonight games so it currently set for Ferrycarrig Park not sure of date.

no doubt in my mind that with some forward planning more than capable of holding cup final.

Not according to Stephen Kenny tonight and also if the past 3 years are anything to go by. It has been the toss of a coin for home advantage for the last few years, so AFAIK nothing has been confirmed in terms of the venue

Great result for the Wexford would be great to see them go on to beat the whingers.
