    Just checked there is mainly sections behind the goal left in the premium seats. I also go premium for the cup final its a nice novelty I find they are overpriced for Ireland games.

    Easier access to a bar is the main thing, and being middle tier. If its baltic you can watch the game from inside.

    That's the part I enjoy for non Pats finals.

    Let's hope the pitch holds up well after the Rogbee Boys play the Ireland v New Zealand game on Friday night beforehand!

    In fairness to the ground staff, it's usually been fine in the past.
    We just don't need a load of rain later this week.

    Yeah the only time I can remember the Aviva pitch not being in good shape for the cup final was 2020 in the Dundalk vs rovers behind closed doors game. Dundalk then played Arsenal on it 5 days later and it was in unbelievably bad nick, the worst I’ve ever seen it

    Playing Arsenal on a billiard table surface would have been fun, maybe thats where Filipo was all week, kicking lumps out of the pitch. Is the Aviva pitch hybrid? It really does hold up well regardless of the rugby. 1st time ever at Landsdowne was at the Ireland V Spain game in 1989, must have been mangled during the 5 Nations as it was a sight to behold, a thing of beauty when needing to lump it against Zubizaretta and co.

    Yeah it is has a weave in it- that's why fines for pyro on the pitch at the Aviva are higher apparently, the damage is dearer to repair.

    Fantastic sales figure considering both sides are located outside of Diblin and one set of fans having to make a considerable journey to the game. I didn't expect 35k.

    I saw that figure announced somewhere last weekend. Dan McDonnell’s newsletter this morning said there’s around 37k gone now, with hopes it’ll surpass 40k if there’s decent weather and worries it’ll go the other way due to no shows if there’s bad weather

    I was not expecting 35000 at all when tickets went on sale. Sunday looking a dry mild day, so could get a few extra people heading on the day. Might be in or around the 2021 attendance.

    That's some going 37k tickets sold, its really turned into a huge annual event now and long may it continue.

    Two very different paths to the final, Derry had Pats and away to Bohs in semi to name two, and our friends Drogs, has to be the easiest route ever to a final, 1 relegated PD side, 1 non league and 2 FD sides, all games bar one at home !

    You'd have to fancy Derry, but anything can happen on the day.

    I'm still in a bit of disbelief about how big the crowd has become for the final.
    10 years ago we played Pat's, attendance was 17k.
    This year, even with two two non-Dublin clubs, it's going to be double that.
    Also, this has all happened in spite of the FAI and the shambles of the organisation.
    Long may it continue indeed.
