    North Terrace Closed For FAI Cup Final

    From Aertel:

    NORTH TERRACE CLOSED FOR FAI CUP FINAL
    The North Terrace at Lansdowne Road
    will be closed for the FAI Cup final
    between Cork City and Drogheda United
    on December 4.

    A fire caused damage at the stadium
    last week and forced the closure of the
    terrace for last Saturday's
    international rugby clash between
    Ireland and New Zealand.

    Supporters with cup final tickets for
    the North Terrace will now be
    accommodated on the East Terrace.
    Have tickets for the north terrace myself, east terrace will probably be even better now as there will be more people there.

    East Terrace now an ideal spot for those who wanted a Standing/Singing section. Hope the FAI have the sense to split it 50/50 between both clubs.

    What do you mean ..... the north terrace is our section !?!?!!

    Why should ye want half ??
    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.

    Coz the East Terrace was seen all along as being the best place to display flags , colours , singing etc. and to get a good atmosphere going. Unfair to give City the entire terrace and expect the singing Drogs to go to the South terrace which holds 9000. Even 2000 Drogs up there would not be heard. Thats why many City fans opted for the Stand instead of the North Terrace and were given Sections S and T to stand up and sing , now ye are given the East terrace which is the entire lenght if the ground as well. Do you think its fair?

    Agree - cant see the FAI changing it now. Personally I think both end terraces should be closed and only flags and colours allowed there , the view is not great and supporters will not be heard.

    With a bit of good weather on the day the game could get close enough to a sell out. Even with 20,000 odd the place will look full which will make a big change from the usual half empty ground.

    With the terrace been closed for so lonfg now i think there is no point in re-building it if it will be knocked down in a while. Just knocked the whole stadium down after the final and start to build the new stadium earlier than expected

    What the FAI should agree to is covering up the terrace with flags cos an empty terrace for whatever reason always looks bad on the box.

    The terraces in Lansdowne are by far the worst places for anyone to be who wants to create an atmosphere.

    Agreed but of the three teraces the East is by far the better.

    Is the east stand upper neutral? Also where else is neutral. No offence lads but I don't want to be stuck in amongst you fanatics and I'm sure you don't want me there either
