It's great to be there... Well done to the squad and to Alan and Aaron... great switches made which brought us right back into the game...
Landsdowne Road here we come...
On that, a question, it has been mentioned that a special train will operate to Landsdowne road for the game? I'd say this may cost in the region of €35. Is anyone interested in a bus?

Doubt it would be that much.... I'd say it'd be the price of a day return, so unless there's been massive inflation since I last got the train, I would reckon €25 max (but more likely under €20)...Originally posted by Xlex

ID SAY YOU COULD B LUCKY 2 GET A RESPONSE FROM IRISH RAIL 4 NEXT YEARS CUP FINAL!!!
Hows about a section O bus? We wouldnt have to be racing back for the train after the game like the last time.
I suppose the question is, could we trust ourselfs to be back at all if we won?
I rang Irish Rail who don't know if there will be a special train until a about a week before the game.
However there is train services to suit...

Personally, I'm more concerned about how we go about getting a section O block of tickets......
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
How many do you reckon we need?Or just reserve an allocation at the centre back of the town allocation... I'd say we'll be opposite sides of the ground....

Any clue what price the tickets will be?
Will the full stadium be open or will the North and South terraces be closed?
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
See you there lads
BTW afaik the terraces will be closed and we'll each get a stand

This was posted on the Pats mb, so we'll have North Terrace and the West Stand....
I vote for the terrace (and hopefully it is terrace not bucket seats).... Easier for the singers to get organised and less sh!t for standing up and singing if it is seats.... Also the camera's are on the west stand, so if section O wants to get on the tele....Andy O ' Callaghan told me that tickets for the final go on sale this wed.
I think we're getting the south terrace and the East stand

I heard we were getting the east stand
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
Stands are always sh!t () so terrace anyway....
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
the terraces should be closed.... IMO
I'm nervous about Landsdowne, how is there ever going to be a crediable crowd there... We should all be in the same place as long as the singing support get to stand towards the back and crank up the sound....
Is the fact that tickets won't be at a premium taking away from the Final, a 15,000 seater stadium would be the monkeys nuts for a FAI Cup final...
We have to decide what we're definatly going to do and get a section reserved for singers on Saturday night at the U.C.D. match...
Lastly, how are people here going to travel, I know of a bus which is going for €13 incl. breakfast... Would it be the job to arrange something like that?

Tickets for the 2003 FAI Carlsberg Cup final between Longford Town and St Patrick's Athletic at Lansdowne Road on Sunday October 26th will go on sale today.
Eamonn Collins' side St Patrick's Ath have been allocated the East Stand with the West going to the North Midlanders.
The Inchicore club will open their ticket off at 125 Emmet Road from 11am for sales with tickets priced at €20 adults and €5 for under 16's and they are requesting that supporters purchase their requirements early to avoid any last minute rush.
The club can be contacted at 01 4546332
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
Absolutely disgusted at the price - they should've gone for €10 and as full a ground as possible..... It's gonna make a mockery of the final, and if I'd known this would be the pricing policy I think I'd have preferred Tolka....
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
are the club getting any of the gate at the match, if not its a high price, if so then its ok
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
The clubs do get quite a bit of the gate. 20 isn't that expensive. We had to pay 15 into Dalymount

Lads I'm not looking at from the perspective of people on here that would go anyway, more from the point of view of part time bandwagons who could be converted by such a trip or even be bothered to make the trip. It'll do the leagues image no good if there's only 10-15,000 in lansdowne....
