From the general talk around town about the game and the fact they have now opened up the other stand and terraces for sale I would think over 10,000 sold already. If they got 15,000-18,000 sold before the day of the game and got a few arriving on the day it would be a success in my eyes.

Many turning up on the Sunday won't be there on the Friday! It's a pity the Longford game isn't the following Friday. Anyways, I'm should be able to take in the Longford game. As for the Sunday Game, not likely I'll be around. Croker could be calling for an All-Ireland quarter-final should we get over Clare in the Gaelic Grounds.

Full squad brought over. Doesn't mean everyone will play though.

Any body know the story with television rights? I take it no one in Ireland will be able to watch it. Have heard fox in America have it but no word on anyone in Europe broadcasting it.

Setanta are showing it I think??

No Tevez or Aguero I heard today.

There was different stuff scheduled when I checked it, honest!!!

**LK37oldskool** · 05/08/2012, 12:08 PM

according to one of yesterdays tabloids,Limerick had sold enough tickets by Friday to cover all costs,great news as its all profit from now on. If the weather stays fine they should get a lot of walk ups. Lookin forward to today. Enjoy the day everyone!!

SO much for all the star about 6 first team players in the whole squad lescott, clicey, hart, nasri, millner, dekco, the rest are reserve team players joke shop so much for aurgeo, tevez, de jong, kompany. A lot of people around me shaken there heads

**balls** · 05/08/2012, 5:47 PM

Still some decent players thomas. plenty of full internationals. hopefully a decent game and plenty of goals for casual supporters who have gone to game tonight

Outside of the players I named who else has been any were the first team last season none all I'm saying is the likes of tevez, augero, Mario, sliva that were all promised are nowhere.

In fairness I would say what is on the field is pretty good for a friendly. No team is going to risk putting out a full strength squad two nights in a row so close to seasons start

That's fair enough but don't promise people a full strength team is coming over so
