Without any doubt.

Interesting recent article by BBC Scotland includes this comment from current St Pat's player Alex Williams :

"It's probably the best artificial surface I have ever played on," said the 27-year-old.

"You can pass the ball about well and, although some players do moan about it, I have no problem with it.

"If you can play football then this surface is ideal."

The name of the campaign has been changed to PAY LK so keep buying the tickets to get to the magical 40k mark.

I actually think its a FIFA approved pitch never mind UEFA. Also it was improved further to the tune of 50k in Jan/Feb 09.

I doubt there's a difference in fairness

is it the same kind of pitch that is installed in moscow?

**fionnsci** · 08/04/2010, 11:23 PM

**bullit** · 09/04/2010, 12:40 AM

and better supporters too :-)

Bookings now past the half way mark. Tonights game against UCD should see a big surge of bookings- I just hope that the numbers are enough

Looked like a good bit of business going on before the match alright.

No, the Dundalk one is a newer and better version, if you're referring to Luzhniki. During the summer break the Luzhniki surface will be relaid.

There was alot, table set up in the shed, table on the main stand side, table coming into Oriel, tables inside the bars. Lads where also walking round the groudn in the second half trying to pick up any stragglers and they got quite a few in the shed. Just hoping this final push today can get us there.

I am hearing we are now looking good for the first target of 1,000 tickets by end of day.

**Dunny** · 10/04/2010, 11:30 PM

We are at the 850-900 mark atm figures will be added up on Monday.

**bullit** · 11/04/2010, 4:42 AM
