Cup Final

Expectations for the final?
Personally I would have been alot more confident with Ryan and Blinks back in the team but now I think its very much up for grabs.
On the ticket front they seem to be moving well here, were first on sale at half 3 yesterday, apparently sold 5,500 yesterday.

Going to go to this myself. €10 in is such great value. Hopefully I can get tickets from the FAI store on Westmoreland Street. Don't really fancy giving Ticketmaster a booking fee if I can avoid it.

I'm thinking of going too bring the youngun with me.
For once the FAI in pricing WIN.

The pricing is great a lot of people going just to have a nosey at the aviva for a tenner might even hit the 30k mark would expect at least 10k from each club and possibly another 10k neutrals.

It's a great idea regards the ticket prices. Hopefully there'll a crowd of in and around 20,000 or more.
It's a pity to see Sligo hit with suspensions, it's very harsh for players to miss out on a cup final because of a culmination of bookings over the course of the season. With the Premier only being a Leinster/Connaught league, it's probably fitting the final is Connaught versus Leinster affair.

Nearly 8000 sold now

I'm ****ting myself already.

Excellent numbers there. I plan on being in the thick of you. Shamrock Rovers will easily bring over 10,000 too. I reckon there'll be 25,000 at it. Looking forward to it.

You will be stuck with the majority so!

I reckon we will have 15000 at this game, thats what we bought to Lansdowne in '94 and the interest in this game is massive.

For fans of "neutral" clubs feel free to wear a bit o' red for the day

14th of November 2010 "Sligo for a Day" day.

There was only about 15,000 at it! More like 10,000 from Sligo, maybe a bit more this year.

No doubt but of greater concern is officials . clear to see how they stopped a bray team that wasn't even at full strength to ensure shams got the league . We will probably need to have a 3-0 lead in first half to allow for the two sending offs . Fai will be creaming themselves at the prospect of their team doing the double so I'd say our chances have gotten slimmer since they were givin the league .

That's probably asking a bit too much - I'd have no objection to fans of Shels, Pats, Derry or even Bohs or Longford turning up in their own colours.

Sligo will prob have alot of extra support from every other club in the league that day so expect a big "support" for Sligo in the Aviva cause everyone else hates Rovers!
