    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Those details haven't been decided yet.
    For now, fans just need to get to Dublin.
    Tomorrow the FAI will tell them if they must head south or north.

    No , Cork to Connelly is correct .Its what they normally do ,cos it discourages regular travellers buying the cheaper tickets and taking up all the seats.Its the Norm for GAA game ,and in days gone by when there used be Ireland game matchday specials

    Expect it to one of the old black and orange ones no lights or bar trains tho

    There still are match day specials for Ireland game but they go cork - heuston and return from connolly. You get a whopping €3 off the normal price.

    It would be great to see, a train full of Cork Fans, we did that going down to use, think it was 1989 for the cup semi final, had 1300 on it, largest passenger train ever in Ireland, unbelievable buzz. cost a fortune though, back then it was 5000 deposit, dont know the full cost.

    Sharks are as tough as those football fans who take their shirts off during games in England in January, only more intelligent.

    Train will be leaving Cork at 7.45am on the morning of the game, getting us to Dubland sometime after 11.
    Leaving to come home at 7pm.
    Total Cost for the train I believe to be €45
