Actually James it's my principal who has asked me to get them!

I had one of the smoke things at the match today (we beat De La Salle Skibereen James!) and he told me he'd throw a few quid my way to arrange something for the final.

Thanks anyway.

ok well tell your principle they are illegal AFAIK
and as for ye beating Skibb.....baastads....

if you are getting them though i think they take a while to order so do it in plenty of time..

Lads, Balloon Surprise on Lavitt's Quay (Half moon street, yes ... where the half moon club is, on the riverside of the street) have got Red Green and White wigs in right now, and they also have plain red wigs as well, if anyone wanted to invest in a wig of the club colours.

If a few people wear them they look great.

If it's flares you're after then don't waste your money on the TIFO one's because they spit out crap on everyone within a few metres and aren't very good.
Try any decent marine/sailing shop and you'll get the proper type for best effect.
Just be responsible with them. People have died as a result of being burned by flares.
Who're you playing in the final?

TIFO ones aren't as good quality, but they do come in different colours AND are cheaper. If used properly they're alright.

It's the smoke affect I'm mostly interested in. Any ideas where else I could get them? The ones from Italy have a 50 EURO minimum order which works out at about 23 of them.

We're playing Coláiste na Sceilige, Kerry in the final.

Try Union Chandlery, next to the Bus station in Cork. They were quiet happy to sell me flairs before the Athlone game a few years back hopefully things haven't changed

As far as i know flares are "banned"(wot a loada ****e) in the cross but the smoke isnt. when a lot of that smoke is released at the same time it looks great and really adds to the atmospere

Air horns seem to be a grey area. Last season the stewards told us we could only use an air horn if we scored. I have never been happier to get a penalty! (even if it did nearly give me frostbite in my hand)
