Is it 10% minimum of tickets for away fans for FAI cup games?

Kerry is going to be a real experience for Sligo fans if they dislike away areas in Finn Park or Dundalk.

Of the final 8, any of the remaining Premier clubs should bring a big crowd if they make the final. If any of the First Division clubs were to cause unlikely shocks, the final mightn't draw the high attendances of recent years. Maybe Donegal people might get behind Finn Harps in big numbers. It will take a massive spike in support for Kerry, especially in a season where any opportunity to challenge for the playoffs hasn't caught fire.

If Harps made the final, the trains down to Dublin would be packed for it.

Aye the novelty of going down there has quickly worn off. It's not a good ground.

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 21/08/2025, 3:33 PM

We’re getting 270 tickets so nearly 20%

When I see people talk about the likes of Oriel, Finn Park or United Park named as the worst grounds in the league by people who haven't been to Tralee yet, I have a little chuckle to myself. It's a truly awful ground for an away fan.

I like the away section in United Park.

There is no operational public railway network in County Donegal, the only current way to travel by public transport is by bus, or by car.

I think Sligo is the nearest Irish Rail station and Derry is the nearest NI Rail station!

You're wrong, and for that you have my pity.

**Buckett** · 27/08/2025, 11:58 AM

They have a port and an airport, no need for woke trains

**sbgawa** · 27/08/2025, 2:00 PM

I saw a train driving around Letterkenny when i was up there.
To be fair there were mostly kids on it and there was a clown driving it............still a train though ....technically
