Theres alot of tickets going around now anything from €30 to €50

**Overthemoon** · 18/09/2013, 5:56 PM

Madness to buy at any price over face value just imagine what the price will be for the Drogs semi !,

**holidaysong** · 18/09/2013, 6:54 PM

Scalping of LOI tickets. Never thought I'd see it.

**White Horse** · 18/09/2013, 7:17 PM

Be very careful buying a ticket from anyone other than the club.

Pats tickets are of very low print quality and I'm hearing there are some good forgeries going around.

**Yossarian** · 18/09/2013, 8:02 PM

Forgeries,touts & tickets going for �100. Is this some kind of parallel universe???

**bluewhitearmy** · 18/09/2013, 8:22 PM

Will the Pats club shop be open during the day to get tickets?

Id imagine yes, but only for home end I reckon.

You will probably have to pop into the house.

Anyone hear Stuey Byrne on Newstalk tipping Sligo for the title? That rules them out.

Nooooooooo

I really don't know whats worse. some entrepreneur making a profit on a Dundalk pats match or some idiot who forked out 100e for them.

unfortunately I cant make this one as the missis is due a littlewhite but the buzz around town over the last few weeks has been amazing. to me it has the feeling of a home game actually with the amount of interest in the match itself

Thats a tough one. I hope he realises that the trophy wont be handed out on Friday if yaz win, he will be gutted if he is expecting one

Biggest game of the season so far and Tom Connolly the ref

Jesus wept!

Terrible ref, terrible appointment.

At least his idiosyncratic ways should be the same for both teams.

**Dodge** · 19/09/2013, 1:24 PM

There will be at least one penalty or sending off that will be disputed. Connolly on TV is a recipe for chaos

Team News from the respective websites for tonight

While both teams are missing players the fitness of Killian Brennan is probably crucial to St Pats

Dundalk

Injured: Keith Ward (knee)
Doubtful: None
Suspended: Darren Meenan and Chris Shields

For the match itself, Dundalk will be without the suspended Darren Meenan, who serves a one match suspension for accumulated yellow cards, while Chris Shields misses out due to a red card he received in the Louth derby. Keith Ward remains injured however the Lilywhites can welcome back captain Stephen O’Donnell and Dane Massey who return after suspension last weekend.

St Pats

In team news, the Saints are without Greg Bolger through suspension, while Stephen Maher is out for the remainder of the season with a leg break. Elsewhere Saints’ midfielders Killian Brennan and Shane McFaul will undergo late fitness tests having both been substituted with injuries in last week’s FAI Ford Cup game with Shamrock Rovers.

Bolger is a bigger loss

**oriel** · 20/09/2013, 2:23 PM

Bolger was the defensive M/F wasnt he ? Should be interesting with his loss if Kenny will get Dillon to pass the ball around. He (Dillon) needs a bg game tonight for us, as we will be imbalanced slightly by the loss of Meenan who seems to have pushed himself to new levels almost every week.

Cant wait for this match, havent been to Richmond for a good number of years, generally dont get to many away games these days, but they are saying up to 1,600 away support now, no idea how, as only 1,300 confirmed. Did Pats send more tickets up ?

**Dodge** · 20/09/2013, 3:06 PM

No, Pats sent 1,200 tickets up. I'm sure some will pay into the home end. Shouldn't be an issue hopefully.

If McFaul is fit he should be well able to fill this role. If not then the loss of Bolger may well be felt.

I believe that a fit and focused Killian Brennan presents St Pats biggest threat.

While the league title is not going to be decided tonight, a win for either team would give them an enormous advantage.

A draw may give Dundalk the edge based on the respective run-in games.
