The follow up to Set The FAI Alight is it?
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Irish Rail have put on third 1,100 capacity train from Dundalk to the Aviva stadium.
With fans struggling to get transport to the Aviva and tickets continuing to sell strongly , Irish Rail have stepped up.

The average carriage fits about 40, so that will be a fairly lengthy train with about 27 all in.
They consider it to be a commuter service, so only 400 will be seated. Not great for those who have to stand. That's what you get for €15 return.
Thats incredible in fairness.
is it just me or does there seem to be a lot more buzz around this final then there has been for a while, or is it just because my own club is involved and I'm paying more attention to it?
If IÉ were smart about it, they'd use a spare 'normal' train, or even the Enterprise, and make a few quid from the bar.
It's the two best teams in the country at present, which does help. But I'd say it's likely to be more due to the fact ye's are playing in it.

Pats pushed it hard last year so it was very noticeable for me. Sligo were pretty good at pushing it too in recent years.
All boils down to the clubs concerned and both seem like they're doing good stuff this year

The clubs are doing a great job, as they have done in previous years (Drogheda being the notable exception).
However, the efforts of the FAI to market the game at the wider sporting public, and particularly junior/schoolboy players is very poor.
The FAI should start advertising / selling tickets in June / July regardless of who is in the Final - The big day out type marketing has worked very well in rugby - I reckon a properly marketed final with some other perhaps musical type entertainment could attract 40,000 if the FAI gave it a proper lash.
When we won the first division in 2011, Dave McKeon was the ref. He also was the ref when we beat Longford to win the cup in 2007. He is the man in charge on Sunday also, an omen perhaps?
Or the bones of a corruption investigation

Termonbarry Athletic TID!
In fairness to him if Cork do win it's likely to be down to the ref!
Did you throw salt over your shoulder afterwards?
Well of course we won't be committing any fouls, I mean that goes without saying. But we are capable of beating ye if we go with the right attitude and approach. Dundalk are favorites and rightly so, but that will count for nothing on the day really.
