How long will tickets be available from Dalyer for? Can I get one after work on Friday and spin down to Tolka from there?

No.

The FAI have instructed the clubs not to sell any tickets after 5.30 on Friday.

**Student Mullet** · 22/08/2006, 2:01 PM

No need for the sarcasm. If I skip out early, will they be available from Dalyer or Tolka up to 5:30?

**Schumi** · 22/08/2006, 2:04 PM

I'd say the

was for the decision rather than you.

**Bald Student** · 22/08/2006, 2:08 PM

It's poor form taking the tickets off sale, it'll put a lot of people off going.

**NY Hoop** · 22/08/2006, 3:10 PM

Stupid reasoning. For neutrals turning up to be told there will be no tickets on sale on the night because the FAI say so means the 2 clubs will lose out on revenue on the night and in future cos those peopole turned away wont bother coming back

Be lucky to have 3000 at it. During the Cup games of 1994 there was 10,000 at this fixture. That is the potential ruined by stupidity.

**hoopy** · 22/08/2006, 6:39 PM

Just when you think the FAI can't become any more of a laughing stock

**monzo** · 22/08/2006, 7:27 PM

ffs - that's just plain stupid.

3 letters F A and I

the ballybough stand will be shut while possibly thousands are turned away. and we have to employ over 100 stewards. why? the crowd will be miniscule.

**Vitruvian Man** · 22/08/2006, 8:30 PM

Can anyone tell me if this was decision made under the advice of the Gardai or sprang fully-formed from the "brains" of the FAI.

Is this supposed to prevent the scobies from both sides throwing shapes and pretending they want to fight each other (from behind the safety of their respective police escorts). Anybody associated with either club will tell you that the scummers were probably the first to buy their tickets.

I doubt too many neutrals would wander in off the street but there are a lot of fair-weather Rovers and Bohs fans who would just turn up for a once-off like that.

I really dispair of this league sometimes. Can you picture any other organisation in the entertainment industry, a rock concert, or a night-club, or a restuarant, turning punters away from the door because they didn't have a ticket or a reservation - and meanwhile half the seats in the place don't have bums on them*

*Or Toffs in our case.

**OneRedArmy** · 22/08/2006, 8:37 PM

I'd have more sympathy if either club had taken any significant action against the minitority of their own fans who have spent a fair percentage of the last 5-10 years of this fixture trying to kick seven shades of sh it out of each other.

Yeah, yeah, we are know the story, the guards are an inept bunch of clowns and the FAI no better, but until both clubs are in a position to root out the scumbag element you can't really complain.

Its for this very reason that most neutrals will give the match a wide berth, ticket or no ticket.

**Speranza** · 22/08/2006, 8:44 PM

Although I agree with every word of ORA's post I wonder how these measures are meant to stop the burberry crew getting in or scraping around the ground.

Outside the ground? - Not our problem, the Guards police this country.

Inside the ground? - When have we ever tried to "kick seven shades of sh it out of the scum?" It's always been them.

So don't tar us with your sweeping statements thanks.

Definitely not true these days... maybe in the past Rovers were always the aggressors but that ain't the case any more. The only difference is Rovers were less picky in who they attacked.

Apart from the many bans in place at Dalyer, there isn't much the club can do about certain individuals, especially at away matches, until the Gardai get a bit more clued up on the nature of football violence.

Neutral tickets can also be purchased from Dalymount during office hours and I guess from the bars in the evenings.

You can't pick out an incident where anyone asso. with Bohs has attacked the scum in the ground, can you?

Well, there was the time Rovers accidentally got in through the Jodi stand's emergency gates by pretending to be escorting disabled fans in wheelchairs, then happened to drop their glass bottles 40 feet into the middle of the packed block G. I'm fairly sure it was Bohs fans who attacked them then.

**hoops1** · 22/08/2006, 11:44 PM

That has to be the biggest load of nonsense ever posted on foot.ie

thats only because the bsc know they will be literally eaten alive. not any moral relativity.

i think you should phrase the question when do the bohs fans attack anyone their own size?
