FAI Cup Final-wheres the build up?

[steno]

Dunno philly Longford would have been allocated the opposite blocks. Both sides oddly enough were only allocated a block each in the anglsea stand. The remaining three must be for FAI sponsors and guests or neutrals maybe.

Clever idea from the FAI

A decent idea, but has a fundamental problem.

A not insignifica number of people will want to keep their Cup Final ticket - especially if their team wins.

It's like those promotions that require you to cut something out of your programme. If the FAI better understood hard-core football supporters, they'd know that many of them wouldn't want to part with a winning Cup Final ticket.

Also - I'm not convinced it'll be hugely difficult to get a ticket for the Brazil game.

Agree with you more steve I always like to keep my ticket stubbs from games I've been to win or loose. Won't part too easily with my cup final ones unless I know I wouldn't get tickets for the Brazil game.
Possibly an idea from the FAI to get those who mightn't normally go to a friendly despite the oppostion to go along as well as increase ticket sales for the cup final.

I think that's the general thrust of the concept right enough. If the weather is semi-decent for December you might also get a bigger crowd at the game.

Is it just me or is there zero build up/excitment/Hype surrounding the FAI Cup final this year?

I assume the FAI have other things on their mind like finding some 3rd rate Englishman for the national team or who's round it is first in their junkett to South Africa than to be worrying about something as trivial as the National Cup Final

In John Delaney's shed.

Any word on the appealed sispensions?

The two longford lads, Deegan and some other chap, both lost their appeals.

In light of the failed appeals Cork to win in a canter!
