**luka** · 23/05/2008, 11:07 PM

All,

Confirmed today that Ramblers will, contrary to what's been heard on local Radio, play Sunderland on Wednesday 16th July.

cool, were playin ourselves, cant wait to see gutsie vs gutsie, should be a good game

heard it after the game geat stuff, must find out when tickets go on sale, should be one of the next 3 home games,

**bellavistaman** · 24/05/2008, 11:56 AM

great news, sooner they set a date for the tickets the better

**sligoman** · 24/05/2008, 11:59 AM

Sunderland must be making two trips to Ireland cos they're playing Athlone in August. Doubt they're staying from mid-July to August.

**bellavistaman** · 24/05/2008, 12:01 PM

prob are im sure they can afford it

**don ramo** · 24/05/2008, 3:04 PM

heard it on in turners x, there hoping to have the tickets on sale at the next home game, season ticket holders have first dibs, then the rest will be sold in the ground on match night

Good move. Ye'l get one big crowd anyway out of it

Should be a good game. Who knows we might even score????
Davin will probaly play his best game of the year against them because he must be saving himself for this game as this will be his real big chance to impress.

sunderlands pre season fixtures say nothing about rams , 1st team look like they will be in portugal, so likely to be a reserve side

Pity it's in The Cross. Which is a disaster.

I'd say it's the last game they play before heading to Portugal.

**ramsfan** · 25/05/2008, 7:53 PM

it is strange that it is not on their website though

**bellavistaman** · 25/05/2008, 7:58 PM

only confirmed friday after the match so gice it till after the weekend?? theres been no dicsion on the venue, the committee will meet and agree, if this game is all about the money we have to go to the cross, extra50-75k to be made like. Id prefer to be in cobh obviously but we are a cash strapped club and it would be a money making oppurtunity missed

why so, wouldnt it make more sense to hold it in Turners Cross where they could accomodate 3/4 thousand more fans than Colmans park therefore maximising the revenue for Ramblers but hey if it puts you out then lets hold it in Cobh

.

As Dahamsta says to me when he is giving me infractions for my responses to your posts - THINK BEFORE YOU POST.

If i get an infraction for this post i wont be happy at all(dahamsta give me a break please)

, more infractions thrown about today so huh, all the deleted messgaes, bold boys!!!

big decision needed alright, if i was the chairman id put it in turners but from my own point of view id want it at home in comans, but i have to edge towards putting it in the cross, has to be done

cant have it in colemans lads, new stand will hopefully be started so thats no north terrace, cross is the best, its all about the money lads,

indeed

If its all about the dosh and big gates, where is the forward thinking? Surely we need to get Cobh people back inside the gates of Colman's park (1983 style). That wont happen if those who are not regular supporter of Ramblers are expected to travel to the Cross to watch the game. 4 or 5,000 now at the home ground might lose the coffers in the short term one-off big payday, but might also help to create a 2000 head regular gates every other week. It will be interesting to see what decision the wise-heads on the committee will make around this one.

he has a point, problem is we do think for now and not for future

Hope they dish out the tickets better than they did for the united game

Season ticket holders should be contacted by post and in turn should submit with full payment their requirement, ok you could limit the number of tickets to each member... just in case there is a tout among us... highly unlikely I know
