The club need to make money. Lennox isn't Bill gates. There should be a full house with a lot of casual support, so yeah, let the club make some extra cash.
KO at 7 probably for Swedish tv??
We are Football
the match wont be on swedish tv.
as for the return leg there wont be much swedish interest no matter what the result is in cork. the day before the return leg is mid-summer - a celebration which the swedes take seriously. It basically means that everyone leaves the city and heads out to the country for the weekend.
I don't think €16 for a seat is at a European game is outrageous. Its €10 for league games which is by far the lowest in the league. Waterford is €12.Originally Posted by xtreme rebel
16 Euro will be a disgrace...after all the support we have given the club, What extra expenses are there goin to be??
From what I heard on Friday about the wages the club is paying they need all the bobs they can get.
easy answer..cut out the wages for the lazy b@stards i.e. fenn
No arguments from me on that one.
There hasnt been that much spent on the ground since the beginning of the season.....a lick of paint to parts of the ground, that is all ive noticed....Cork City FC have spent tens of thousands of Euro in upgrading the stadium to gain Class A license
I dont mind paying the extra bit for the euro game....they should have increased it to 15 a be done with that...i dont liek the 20 euro on the day thing...its not going to encourage anyone...
Looks like we'll be spending that day in Copenhagen then!!!
I initially thought that the home game was being fixed for the Friday night, why move it to Saturday night?
UEFA's Inter-toto rules, the games have to be played on either a Saturday or Sunday. Those are it's appointed days.
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
i guess it's so that as many people as possible will have tickets on arrival and go straight into the ground, thereby cutting down on congestion outside.
it is unfair though to those of us who will travel down on the day from Dublin and elsewhere and especially to the Malmo fans who'll have paid through the nose for the trip over as it is, and won't have mates that can be sent to Lennox's ahead of time.

yeah I'd hope that'd be the case alright, but I've heard nothing about ticket arrangements for Malmo, so I'm assuming at the moment that it'll be buy at the turnstiles.
I guess at least if it's a crowd congestion consideration that it means the Club are expecting a full house.

no point in talking about the matchday increase here
difference of 4 yoyos is a disgrace
let ur opinion be known

I'd say crowd congestion is the least of their worries. Brian just wants the cash in his paw ASAP.
The travel agents for the trip to Malmo must be looking for cash up front.
Whatever about the €16 price, increasing it to €20 on the day is unfair.
People coming from out of town for the game should contact the club and book/them have them posted at the lower price.
Hopefully Malmo fans (especially the tall, blonde female ones) will get them through Malmo at the lower price.

mind if i ask how you do solve the problem of crowd congestion?
tickets for the malmo match will be available at City's next two home league games.
besides the congestion issue, selling tickets in advance will also mean some of the people who sell tickets on match day are freed up to do other jobs.
Just wondering have the club taken into consideration that the Holland Vs Czech Rep game will be on the telly at the time of the game?
The fact that a good game like that is on the TV, added to the fact that they are charging a very high price, does not bode well for the attendance at the game.
As Ive said beofre, a price of €16 to the casual fan is alot, and the attraction of Euro 2004 football will make their mind up for them, rightly or wrongly.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
Its one game ... City fans will all buy their tickets early ... it is sunshiners and barstoolers that will be hit with the extra cost. This may sound harsh .... but i wont lose any sleep because they get hit with the extra price.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
No doubt you will be looking for a student price X???

I'd be very very shocked and surprised if that would keep people away from the game. City fans will go to the game anyway and barstoolers won't have any interest in either Holland or Czech Rep so it won't stop them going to the game. If we were playing at the same time as England v France I'd be worried but Holland v Czech won't have any effect on us. Anyway, there will be Euro 2004 games on TV non-stop and people will be sick of it and will be delighted with the oppurtunity to get out and watch some real life football. If anything the heightened interest in football which Euros/World Cups bring about will work to our advantage.
Spot on.
City fans will buy their tickets in advance, if the barstoolers wait until the day of the game then that's their problem. I'll be delighted if the club manages to fleece a few barstoolers out of an extra 4 quid. Despite the price, I'd expect us to get at least 6000 (probably more) at the game.
Champions!
I love the way people are saying that its only barstoolers who will wait til the day of the game to get a ticket.
There is many a City fan, who may or may not sit on barstools, who for whatever reason will not be able to buy a ticket in advance. They may be working elsewhere and not get an oppurtunity to get to the Cross in advance, perhaps they may be broke as pay day may only come mid month etc etc etc.
Anyway, thats the way it is, so no point in arguing.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
Or indeed we may be living elsewhere!
