    Still a few days to go and weather looks like it will be decent which should attract a good few daytrippers.
    I think 20k is achievable. Not much advertising or promotion anywhere though.

    Probably a stupid question...but do the clubs get anything from the gates?

    Got home today from work and there was a letter from the FAI containing 3 premium tickets for the game waiting for me. Nice wee surprise.
    I get 3 season tickets for the internationals for me and 2 mates. It's a good idea getting a few extra folk who are genuinely interested in Irish football and who may not have made the game otherwise especially with next week's game coming up...As well as a thank you for turning up for some of the tripe we've endured during the year.
    For once, well done FAI. Cheers.

    As far as I know neither team get any of the gate, they only get the prize money for winning or losing.

    Think ourselves and Shams had some deal with them last year that if there was more then 28k at the game that they would give us a cut out of the extra but doubt they would have given a huge amount up

    It might sound very odd but in some one ways but there is a small small part of me that hates Cup Finals - you be sick with worry thinking about them.

    Then you have them people saying: Enjoy the day out? How can I enjoy the day, I'll be a nervous fcuking wreck.

    Cant wait for ths now
    Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
    Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
    Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

    Sales very good Rovers official 10k allocation sold out today loads of ticket sold via ticket master as well.

    How is that a surprise? They say that you get a ticket for the cup final when you're paying up for the season ticket

    That's great to hear.

    Come on the Rovers!! Wanna get back into Europe next season, despite the nonsense this year!! Hopefully, Shels implode like Fingal last year except on the pitch and the signs are good, seeing as Shels fans here seem to be former Fingal/Dublin City fans!!

    Dublin City were Franchise scum - everything that was wrong with the Celtic Tiger years embodied in a football club. Booo Booo!!!

    I'm getting two premium seats off a mate. Been debating with myself whether to go or sit in the Shels singing section but have a mate from Glasgow and he wants in the Premium so we can have some beer at the game.

    Shelsweb saying we've sold 4k so far. Hopefully bottom half is full and will look decent on telly.

    Bigger seats, better view, bars. Its actually not a bad idea to pick up one of these tickets for the cup final, its a cheap way of getting to the premium level. I went to last years final and it was very enjoyable. Not going to go to the Premium Level this year as I want to be around other Shels fans but, as I say, would thoroughly recommend it!
