Most probably though the pedants would say that it is not a League game and doesn't count as an LOI game and is a cup game.Originally Posted by gustavo
Most certainly the biggest crowd for a game between 2 LOI clubs in a long long time.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
It's looking likely that it will be almost double the average attendance for the entire league combined!
What's the story with money, are the gate receipts split between the two clubs? They're looking at a €150-200,000 windfall if they are. I'm sure Bohs would love to be in a similar situation!
How could anything or anyone* look dreadful compared to that grinning imbecile?
* Except maybe Willie O Dea.
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
Bringing a slovenian, a dutch bloke and a few barstoolers to this. hope the weather alrite for it.
You obviously havent seen Benny the Bull - the worst mascot in the history of Mascots.
Bring a few barstolls to the game myself. 2 have never been to a LOI game ever. (hope there are a few goals).
They'll be open. You're not allowed bring the drink in with you though to the "arena". FIFA law.
Are you sure? They'll be open for ordinary fans and not just the middle tier/premium seats?
Person who works at Lansdowne told me..Suppose you could call the reception to make sure.
Starting to feel the nerves now. Have to be up before 4 in the morning to make the flight, then a few hours' stopover in London. COME ON THE BIT O' RED!
Delighted with the crowd estimates. Hopefully we get a game that persuades even a small percentage of the day-trippers back.
"Even if the wind stops to blow
Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
Can't wait for this the crowd is looking healthet and I myself will be bringing a polish barstooler with me.

What's the latest on the ticket sales?
Good to hear they are going well. Planned to go originally but can't make it. Should be tuning in to RTÉ for it. With all due respect to Bray and Mons, I was ashamed the last night watching the playoff match, as there was company around. The state of the place... They thought it was a video of a junior game or something.

Stay on your stool and please dont go anywhere near a LOI ground or the Aviva lest you be ashamed.
Epic 2 week after we survive post!
F.U.2.
Having been a LOI fan since before my teens, I feel I can pass comment on the state of things in the LOI without paying heed to barstooler comments.
That comment ****"s me off almost as much as your previous one.
Horse racing might be your game???

In all fairness, that could mean that you have been a LOI fan for six months
Maybe its just me but Larry Murphy in a vaguely homoerotic costume doesnt do it for me either.
are the premium tickets on sale on the day,might head up to the fancy pants level
Shut it smartarse! And for the record, I have been a fan for 7 months, not 6 months... so THERE.In all fairness, that could mean that you have been a LOI fan for six months
Aah, "barstooler." The word to use when you when you don't agree with someone's opinion on the League. For the record, I brought a few "barstoolers" to Richmond Park for a City match in late 2009 and they were distinctly unimpressed with the facilities. Anyone who thinks infrastructure doesn't have an impact on the perception of the league is living in la la land.
Robbie Hedderman. Arguably the greatest Derry City player of all time...
