Listen I'm not getting into the Oriel Park debate again, all I'm saying is that finals of the premier football competitions in this country should be held in a ground befitting the occasion and at this moment Oriel Park is not that so it should be excluded from the equation until such a time that it is. Getting to host a big occasion is a reward not a right. For the purpose of this discussion I couldn't give a flying **** about if plans are in the works or not, its irrelevant until plans are completed, until Oriel isn't a **** hole it shouldn't be allowed to host national league finals, simple as, show the competition some respect.
Yeah that's not defending it
It was a genuine question about Tallaght Stadium, from starting to being able to hold games was how long?
I dont disagree that a national final shouldnt be played in a fitting stadium. What that is determined by is always going to be based on opinion. Was Ferrycarraig an appropriate venue when it was held there? The League Cup is a competition that does seem to reward clubs like Wexford Youths, Markest Field was also used recently, ED Park too (and I'm not making a compasiron with Oriel either!!). It's a toss of a coin of course so it may not have fallen in the favour of those clubs but at the time I didnt see too many having issue with Ferrycarrig for example, people felt that it would be a shot in the arm for the club.

Much obliged , felt like 222... It was far too painful for me to look up and not even a Rovers fan!!
Whats the capacity of Brandywell?
We have been given 700 tickets and if they are gone told we will get another 300

Brandywell sold out for this now.
I expect that the Bluebell Bar near the stadium will be jammers pre-match. Any suggestions for alternative places to watch the All-Ireland replay on tv?
Dundalk will wear their Temple St Children's Hospital kit for the final this evening.

Cracking pre match atmosphere in the Brandywell.
EirSports have a perfect stream, but no sound ...
Edit : Overlaid with Radio Foyle sorts it out.
Poor poor Goalkeeping there

Silly challenge by Gillespie for his second yellow, but no contact. McGrath the cheat with the dive.
