Gerrit - you're making too much of the north-south 'ideological battle' here. It was always planned to have the final in Dublin, so where's the problem ? Linfield fans themselves won't be complaining about it.
And as for your thoughts on Linfield fans - to quote Yoda, and without trying to appear rude, "You are young, but you have much to learn...."

Yes, the majority are ordinary decent football fans. But by Chr!st they also attract a very nasty element as well. Did you not see ANY of the coverage regarding their recent game against Glentoran (a fellow Northern, Protestant, Belfast team...) ? I haven't seen scenes like that at a football game in decades - and the trouble was clearly started by their fans.
Stand in amongst the Linfield fans using your non-Irish identity as protection if you like, but I don't think you'll find many other EL fans taking the risk of joining you....
P.S. I don't predict they'll be overly accepting of Goths - regardless of whether you're a Catholic one

) They just don't dig on diversity....
P.P.S Derry City play 'abroad' every other game.....
