In fairness, the FAI are genuinely not able to think for themselves so it might be a good thing if fans do bombard them with promotional ideas.Quote:

we should treat the cup final like we do european games fans from all el clubs should go just to get the crowd in, if we were to fill landsdowne it would look amazing on tv and barstoolers might just sit up and take notice
I'll be there anyway........... will u ?
Well I know that but it's more likely that kids in the Dublin area could go rather than kids in the Cork area. Drogheda isn't too bad though, give some out there too;)Quote:

Surely they should be flogging the terrace tickets for a fiver and stand tickets for a tenner? they got 30,000 for bray v st. francis doing something similar.
What a pack of moaners ye are! What are ye like expect advertising of some sort???
:rolleyes:
I actually didn't anticipate this but i suppose it belongs in here.
FAI using TicketMaster as a mean of giving out tickets = Counter-Active measure for Cup Final.
Its an own goal ..... undoing what they have already ... err ... done !! :( :o
and that was back in 1990 when things were even worse, i don't think there was a sinner left in Bray that day........ I was a schoolboy back then, think my ticket was 2/3 quid at the time.Quote:

I'll probably head over
Lads .... if any of you feel inclined at any stage ... maybe send a mail ot info@fai.ie asking what kind of advertising there will be for the game .... just jog their memory a bit !!
I haven't seen any advert for FAI Cup final yet.
In fairness, it's over 3 weeks away - I know a load of drogs who don't even have tickets yetQuote:

its on the fai.ie front page now
Where ??Quote:

I was asking where the info on the 20 ticket pakage was .... not the time of the game. The first post on the thread says this to be fair .... when i was saying advertising, i was on about Radio, TV, Newspapers, trailing banners from planes, hot air ballons and the like ..... not just the time on their site !!Quote:

Cosmo that is superb stuff. All in the timing of course with Scotch Hall just opening. No reason why you shouldnt be getting huge crowds considering you have the largest town in the state.
But as usual the FAIlure have done nothing to market their showpiece.
KOH
Tickets selling very well for City areas, rumoured to be 8k sold already. Going for the double will boost numbers too.
It's a pity the ticket machine is in the clubhouse - tickets arent on sale in scotch hall unfortunately.Quote:

Player down there every day to sign autographs for the kids (or just chat about the match!!)
the club even ran out of bunting yesterday - people are doing up their own gafs, looks good :)
Heard ads on LMFM too - not sure if drogs arranged this themselves too - well its an ad saying to get up to lansdowne to support the drogs :D
I think you will find that in the last census Dundalk had a bigger population than Drogheda. :cool:Quote:

Well HOLIDAYSONG , not gonna get into a my towns bigger than yours argument, but in the last census Drogheda was definetly bigger than Dundalk.Drogheda is the biggest town in Ireland population wise.We have been invaded by thousands of dubs for god sake!
Profile: Drogheda
Located on the M1 30 miles north of Dublin city centre, the town is in the capital's commuter belt and, as a result, is experiencing considerable population growth. With a population of over 28,000, according to the census, Drogheda is the largest town in the state. The population increased by nearly 16 per cent between 1996 and 2002 - almost twice the national average increase.
This growth within the town has been mirrored in the greater Drogheda area. It is predicted that the greater Drogheda area, incorporating parts of south Co Louth and east Co Meath, could have a population of over 70,000.
I don't know about that, I'm pretty sure Cork has a population greater than that which would make it the biggest town in Ireland. Another trophy for Leeside - it's been quite a year for them!Quote:

Cork City probably has 1/3 population of Dublin when include the commuter towns.
Oh sure, places like Kilkenny, Armagh and Sligo you mean? They really just big towns though aren't they?Quote:
