    Got my tickets today. Looking forward to it. In the upper tier of the East Stand. I think that'll be mixed neutrals and Shamrock Rovers fans. Your one in Ticketmaster didn't really have a clue though.

    Yes, me too.

    Large contingent going from Oriel to the upper tier of the East Stand to "cheer on" Neale Fenn.

    A couple of banners being worked on for the occasion.

    Hopefully you don't get too tired leading the Shams fans to the stadium

    I reckon nearly all neutrals will be supporting Sligo. Not necessarily a knee-jerk anti Shams prejudice - just that Sligo are a far more attractive team. The difference between the style of football the two teams played in their respective semi-finals was remarkable. And Shams looked a complete shambles against Bray. Hope they have the courage to play a bit more on the ground against Sligo and don't ruin it as a spectacle by endless hoofball.

    As regards to the game itself O'Neill did make a very good point on MNS about how high up the pitch we press teams. I think it's a huge part of our game that while we do pass the ball very well we make it very hard for teams who play against us to play the ball out from defence as well. The last game in Tallaght in the first half for the first 10 minutes Shams tried to play it out from the back but the pressure was just too much so they started hitting it long to Twigg.[/QUOTE]

    I think we will play 3 up front to combat this.

    So tell me if we were playing any other team do you honestly think the same neutrals would be up for us? Anyhow what's the bets that Sligo don't play this sparkling football and they'll have the excuse of 'not turning up', or else use the one's that are already in waitine, ie the suspended players, the fai want us to win it, the ref gave us everything etc.
    False hope is worse than no hope. Ask Sligo.

    Of course its knee-jerk anti-Shams prejudice...and there's nothing wrong with that! :-)

    Could be wrong, but Id say Galway and Harps would be up for ye no matter who ye were playing, they seem to have a connection with ye. Plenty of other fans will be cheering for ye too no doubt.

    We have just lost the best passing midfielder in the league so what do you think, in fairness. Finals are notoriously dull affairs anyway, with no player wanting to make the big mistake.

    Ticket sales as per FAI :
    The Hoops have sold around 9,500 tickets, while the Bit o' Red sales are approaching 8,000.
    Anybody going gets a tenner off the Norway game: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2010/1108/faicup.html

    They've done a decent job on this but I'd like to see more ticket outlets for neutrals.

    On the radio there that the rubgy team are training in the Aviva ahead of their game at the weekend. Thats ridicuolous.

    Not ideal having 2 matches and training the week before the final, but it is "their" ground too. Think they might be training on it again before the Samoa game.

    Bound to favour Shams' tactic of hoofball up to Twigg.

    Not such good news for Rovers.

    In fairness, it wouldn't be right to deny the egg-chasers the chance to practise, seeing as the surface is only going to be used by one team on Sunday anyway.

    Only ticketmaster and the FAI will know that but the best possible indication would be from the 'best available' €10 tickets on the website. Currently the best available is East Stand Block 507 Row Q, yesterday was Block 506 (which is nearer the centre of the stand than block 507) so I'd guess from that sales are not amazing but steady enough considering there is still 6 days of ticket sales left.
