Yeah, maybe I should've wrote "no better on bank holidays" rather than no different.

League Cup games everywhere get brutal crowds too

Can't see Sligo, Shams, Bohs, Pats, Dundalk releasing any of their first team players for the game with league, league cup and or european fixtures all within a short space of time.

They all released them in a very busy league period (most playing 2 games a week) for the Ireland/LOI u23s

They were running a competition on Moncrieffe on newstalk yesterday for a mascot for the game... he had to keep reminding people that even though the winner would be an airtrictiy LOI team mascot they'd get a full Man U rig as well.... quite embarrassing really

Where in the name of jesus are they going with setting exorbitant prices like that.
A mate who has block booked for the international games requested 1 adult and 2 kid tickets and has just got a letter to say that will be 3 adult tickets at �45 each.

And he is one of those who would not get off his arse to watch an airtricity game if it was on in his front garden. but he would have gone if the kids tickets were a tenner like the form said.

The numpties in the FAI really have no clue about trying to bring people into the league games. Priced right this could have brought some barstoolers in the games aftwerwards.

Tip.

Proof will be in the attendance, really. We all know the FAI are useless at pricing things but occasionally they actually get these things right.

**peadar1987** · 09/07/2010, 12:29 PM

If the prices haven't been dropped yet, I'd assume they're still on course for a full house. It's more than a little depressing tbh

I sincerely doubt that tbh. Historically this hasn't proven to be the case. I've no real problem with fleecing people who are silly enough to wet themselves over Man U coming to town for a meaningless friendly game either.

This is a total disgrace ! It should be at least twice that price, fleece the barstool gob****es and event junkies (I just want to see the new stadium) crawling out of the woodwork to see Man U. i do not believe for one nano second that any of those attending wil be "converted" to LOI so fleece away - less money to be extorted from real fans to save the FAI ass in the future.

**gspain** · 12/07/2010, 2:48 PM

Agree re the prices eventhough I am going.

I really wish the first football match would be the Argentina game but will go anyway having been able to get tickets through my block booking. I'll
be wearing my Limerick shirt and supporting the Irish team which means I'll be in a tiny minority and probably end up sitting beside a diehard Manyoo fan who has all the dvds, the Ryan Giggs duvet and hasn't missed a game on Sky since football was invented in 1992 except he'll probably call it Sawker.

Yes it will be painful but will be nice to wind some of them up too.

**TheBoss** · 12/07/2010, 10:06 PM

When will Rico announce the squad ?

**Martinho II** · 13/07/2010, 9:33 AM

I see that RTE are going to show that game live.. It was mentioned on mns last nite that it will be shown.

**holidaysong** · 13/07/2010, 9:38 AM

He'll have to wait and see what Irish teams are playing in Europe that week I'd imagine before announcing any squad.

Best of luck with that gspain. was at the barstool fest at Dalyer last year ( Bohs 3rd team V Liverpool 5th team) and could not face such an embarrassing game again. No cheering / singing or participating in any way until "Liverpool" scored in the 92nd minute ! Awful, awful stuff and the football equivelent of hell.
Give me a couple of hundred LOI fans (that actually care) on a wet Wednesday night any time
