    Tickets selling like "hotcakes"

    Got some tickets last night, and some more tonight, from the Horseshoe and the guy behind the bar said they were going like "hotcakes".

    He reckons from talking to people that it will be a full house on Sunday. Basing it on how tickets for other matches have sold in the past, this one is selling out quickly.

    Can't wait.

    LOADS OF NOISE AND COLOUR FROM EVERYONE PLEASE!!!!!

    just got my tickets in the horseshoe. There was people in before and after me buying tickets. Any body who uses this forum and intends going to the match get off your seat now and go buy them now.

    Thats all we need is real city fans outside the ground and barstoolers inside the ground because they were beaten to tickets

    And according to to-nights echo nec are bringing 400 fans with them. Which game can anyone remember with the highest amount of away fans at turners cross?

    The famous title decider vs Pats a few years ago ( when RTE put their hex on us ) - we lost 2-1.

    Pats had a big following that day. The usual corner of the D Forde Stand and 1/3 of the St Annes end was full of Pats fans. Great atmospher as the ground was jammed that day.

    The biggest of all though was when we played Rovers their ( remember their home game ) - we had about 4,000 that night!!!!!!!!!

    Met Barbara when I was getting my tickets today, she reckoned it was going to be a sellout too. I just hope the lads live up to it.

    I'd say there was bigger contingent down from Dundalk for the ill-fated title finale in 1991 than the big Pat's game in '99. Tom McNulty, we'll never forgive you

    Mind you, there were some very big away turnouts in Bishopstown too. I remember being pure surprised to see so many come over from Glasgow for a pre-season friendly!

    Intersting post his, actually.

    Look at tonight's Echo and the picture of "Super Keeper" making another brilliant save.

    In the background, all you can see are Celtic jerseys..........pitifull. Definately the biggest away support at The Cross.........which is, quite simply, embarrasing when you consider that 80% of them were from within the boundaries of our fair City.

    Talking to people this week there have been more people telling me they are going to the game on Sunday that haven't been to the Box since (probably) THAT game - it's unreal!

    They will, more than likely, be the type to start the jeering ( particularly at Georgie ) if we're not 3-0 up after 15 mins.

    Let's show them what we have going at The Cross these days!!!!

    Gave up asking my buddies to go to games, fair enough a few are going to the nimijen game, only cos i raved about it. The last game they came to was the 3-2 home win over bohs last season when george scored in the last minute, didnt come back after even that game, no pleasing some people.

    Yeah, but they'll sit on a stool and rant and rave about a 1-0 result between the likes of Spurs and Charlton.................un fu*king believable, really.

    Maybe it's Andy Gray!

    We should get him to introduce "hit the bar" etc

    Imagine - "C'mon on Cooooorrrrrrrrk Ciiiiiiiiiiiitaaaaaaaay" in a Scottish accent!

    Man ... give up .... that was a great game and what a finish. I'd say its more of a case that they just dont have a clue.

    Its pointless, and at this point, just repetitive. They dont care, or want to care, they prefer to live in this fools fantasy that they are football fans.

    Though my favourite excuse i ever got from a guy (former friend) for not coming to a game, just to try it it was "but i wouldnt know any of the players names". Sad, isnt it? Of course the same fella is one of those massive Liverpool fans who have never been to a game in Anfield.

    Anyway, roll on sunday.
    If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

    He was probably a neighbour of a City player or two himself!

    You're better off without friends like that Gary!

    That was the best game I have ever seen at the cross. If you can't convince them from that game then you cant convince them after that. Leave them off to support their bloody liverpool.

    Who cares if sunshiners come back or not. Club will still make €16 per head. The core city support will still sing & support the team.

    last time i brought friends to a game was the worst game the cross has ever seen

    the boring 0-0 draw with pats at the start of the season.

    needless to say they never came back

    but then again id say there was even regulars contemplating never coming back after that game

    good to see though that this might be the first sell-out since the cup semi-final against derry

    The cross should be packed on Sunday. Hopefully we can get a win and go through. I cant see it not being a sell out. People who never go to City matches that I know are planning on going. Hopefully they arrive on the day and find its sold out.

    Lets hope its a great weekend for Cork in hurling and soccer.

    Personally I could care less of hurling, full house not such a big matter either... All i want is for City to get to next round however that achieved!
