League of Ireland in Europe 2016

6,000 capacity which isn't a huge amount, Dundalk will have a big following for a game like this. Still only an hour away. I reckon it will sell out, especially if tie is still in the balance by then.

There is a chance if it is the balance.

However, it is being televised and when you combine the ticket price with the cost of transport it does add up, particularly if you are taking children.

Tallaght stadium is only up the road so i'm planning on heading up but object to €20 in.

[Yossarian]

If the prices were 15/10/5 there would have been a bigger chance of selling out. As it is, I can't see it selling out.

I agree with this. I think we could get away with the dearer price in Oriel with the restriction on capacity, but the fact that there is travel involved in getting to Tallaght, the price of the tickets will put a good few off, particularly as the game is on TV.
The prices mentioned by Nigel would have been sufficient and would have ensured a good crowd. I hope the game is still in the balance otherwise it won't be a good crowd.
I think the club are only selling tickets for the West Stand at the moment and will sell for the East if the West sells out.

3 of us planning on going to Tallaght. Could be more. Probably won't sell-out but I'm sure there will be a healthy attendance anyway.

No chance it will be sold out!

Was only relaying what I was told.

Obviously a favourable result tomorrow night would be great for the attendance.

Don't be silly, of course it will sell out. Sure Stephen Kenny wants to play it in Croke Park.

5 euro lads ffs maybe 10 to 15 extra for a family.

Good article on the LOI in Europe by Eamonn Sweeney in the Independent today.

Anyone else notice that he got KRC GENK mixed up with KAA GENT when saying that GENK were in the last 16 of the champions league last year?

He wants to play it five times. The residents aren't happy.

[Eminence Grise]

Hear he's rehearsing Calling Bate Rouge to get the crowd going! Shamsless - what we were after the first round of Euro games this season, and finishing up with Friends in No Places (special request for the RTE sports department).

I heard that BATE turned off the floodlights during Dundalk's training section in the Borisov Arena last night. After Rodinov's head-butt on Massey last year, this tie doesn't require any more needle.

Are there not sanctions put in place when things like this happen?

If it's allowed, then perhaps Irish teams should stop being so goody-goody and reciprocate; seeing as the same thing seems to happen whenever an Irish team goes to one of these backwater toilets.

By making them train on the pitch at Oriel?

[White Horse]

I picked my tickets up for the "home" tie in Tallaght. Tickets for the West Stand are selling fast, only adult tickets left. The plan is to sell the remainder of the West and then open the East Stand for later sales and walk ins.

The result this evening will determine how full the East Stand will be.

By the way, fair play to the Rovers fan who rang Oriel Park today to ask if he can use his Rovers season ticket for the game.
