any confirmation on the date and time yet, cant see anything on the FAI or LOI sites
:confused:
It's definitely the 22nd, and I think I heard it is in Tallaght.
Obviously, you have to factor the FAI into any understanding of "definitely".
When are they coming out? how many are we greating? how does a Brit like me get his hands on a pair?
The date of the FAI Cup final is liable to change as the FAI don't want the WC Play-Off to overshadow the buildup.
it better not change,i have the 22nd booked off work for it.

Doesn't mean it won't be changed, but very doubtful.
John Delaney said during the week that the final wont be changed, definetely the 22nd.
Does anyone else think Tallaght is going to be too small. If we get Bray in the fianl we might have only 3000 tickets. In 94 we had a good 10000 at the final. There are an awful lot of sligo fans in Dublin.
Will season ticket holders get preference?
No word on them yet! Even do it was great theat such a huge crowd turned up at the agme 'I hope that the clubs works something out that Regulars are looked after first and tese sunshiners the ones that will clapping themselves on the back dont jump on the bandwagon grabbing them before the regulars.
Just too point out I think Exiles come in too their own section as not posssible for ye to attend games.
As I sed even it was great tosee such a huge crowd,One game doesnt keep the club going so the regaulars need to be looked after first.
IMO The club should not put the Tickets on sale till the "DROG GAME" last game of season and if you want a ticket you go to that game any left after that theres plenty of Barstools that will be there.
The club should take the initiative here and bundle some tickets with season tickets for next year. Or at least say a ticket that was valid for 3 home games.
It would prevent some of the event junkies from just turning up and taking tickets from weather worn supporters.
i'm sure the fai will be able to put extra bucket seats into tallagh, depending on demand for tickets i suppose
The Real Rovers are back in Tallaght :D :D :D F--- ya!
Hopefully they'll look after the few hundred regulars first. Hopefully Tallaght will be a free for all in the way that your not given a specific seat. This way, the singers can all stand together. I was talking to a member of the club last night, and he's going to see what he can do about trying to get all the "Forza" lads together. (If it is specific seating)
surely season ticket holders are guaranteed a ticket. i think anyone who was in albania should be guaranteed one too. i still think we will out number whoever we play in the final. roll on the 22nd hopefully our status in premier div well secured by then too and mite turn out a good year after all
i got a text last night - great news - i now have the choice of coming back to ireland for the final or going to paris for the ireland game - what would you do if you had the choice
tallaght without a doubt. why waych ireland go to paris and put 11 men behind the ball and hope to nick a goal somewhere along the line when ya can go and watch the rovers lift the fai cup for the 3rd time !!
Season ticket holders should definitley be given first preference. Don't want fellas who go to games week in week out not get a ticket because of some event junkie. With there "we" and "us" :p
As Shiba said, sell them at the Drogheda game (1 ticket per person). The regulars will get them and you can give the scraps to the barstollers.
I think my season ticket idea is a runner.
Can anyone confirm what the position is with players on yellow cards close to suspension?...Im fairly sure ogrady misses a game now..Hopfully not the final...
well done to all players and fans who contributed to a great night...if we could even retain 10% of the sunshiners for next season would be big boost for club
Cant beleive O' Grady tought he'd get away with that handball. There was already talk of him missing the final, now he surely will, what are the chances he'll ever play in the Cup Final with his hometown team again ? That spoiled a great performance for him but i'd be more concerned if Blinkhorn misses the final, he was top notch all night for us.
Ya but there's only 3 or 400 season ticket holders (i think), and we have averaged nearly 2000 at our home games this season. Sell an 'advanced ticket' or somthing like that at the Drogheda game.
Conor should appeal. It was a very harsh yellow. The handball provided no advantage, it wasn't devious and it practically played him!! Just look at the other 2 yellows 1 Waterford and the other Rovers. The other Rovers yellow was for passing a ball back so the free could be taken! The Waterford lad reacted as if a train had driven into his liathróidí! The Waterford yellow wasn't a yellow either. Conor should appeal and he'd win.
Even though I'm not one season ticket holders should be given preference. Hopefully, everyone of us genuine fans will get a ticket. We will. Where there's a will there's a way!
:D He should've told him it was Albert Straka :rolleyes: And then you get fans calling Raff, Ralph as someone said on this thread. Just on the subject of sunshiners, I once heard someone shout "come on Dick Bush!" and he was convinced that was his name :D.
You can't appeal yellows afaik.
Can anyone actually explain why the suspension list is being written up at the end of the month ? it could easily have been done weeks ago and we'd still have Conor(well, maybe) and Blinkhorn definately available for the final.
Join VHI. Go to Paris, fall ill there after the match, VHI will airlift you back to The Blackrock Clinic. Make a miraculous recovery on Saturday evening and discharge yourself. Head for Tallaght on Sunday and take Ryanair home on Sunday evening.
Thank you and good night.
PS. I'm here all week if you need anything else.
Real pity if o'grady is out for the final. He deserves the chance to lead his home town team out for the final. Saying that it was a stupid yellow to get last night. I presume there is no chance of Brush being back in time, as he too has made a big contribution to this great cup run.
IMO the FAI would not be having the final in Tallaght unless the temp seating was being installed similar to the real madrid game in the summer. Both teams should be offered an allocation of 5,000 and if Bray/Fingal don't take their full allocation we could possibly be offered more. I don't see any problem with regulars getting tickets.
Why the panic!Cos its like always the sunshiners come along get their tickets and the genuine supporter losses out due to poor planning,But what the club has done right over the last few games is put them on sale at home games.I hope they stick to this procedure now.Cause next season the hardcore fans will be back and these sunshiners will run the club down as always.Just to point out even do I agreeabout season ticket holders should be gaunteed tickets not all regulars are.Also with the times that are in it a burdon should not be put on people to buy them next year some may not be able to afford them
Not part of the Forza crew myself but love being in that part of the ground and making noise for the ninety minutes. Two of us couldn't get into the Jinks at first last night because of the sunshiners. If Forza get an area set aside can the details be posted up here.The atmosphere last night was unreal and fair play to the travelling support.
