A Derry v Rovers final i'd say.

Final at Tolka.

Lansdowne is unavailable due to rugby autumn internationals iirc.

The last time there was a Rovers v Derry final Rovers didn't sell out their section of Tolka. I wanted a ticket for the Derry side and a tout wouldn't swap claiming he wouldn't be able to sell the Rovers ticket!

Last time Rovers were in a cup final in 1994 took nearly ten thousand to Landsdowne heavily out numbering the Derry supporters. To be fair I think there was some sort of boycott of that final by the Derry supporters.

Name me a club that doesn't bring a multiple of their regular home support to a cup final?

Exactly in our last final, i think there were more Pats fans than people who live in Inchicore.

Any of the 4 in the final would be a cracking athmosphere.

Er, getting back to the topic. I reckon the semis could be better than the final. Two televised derby games. Sligo V Derry has a history of crackers and Pat's V Rovers (of the Shamrock variety) will have zest as it is an all Dub affair.

I hope to see the two Rovers' in the final!!!!

Was at that game and Sligo had easy 10,000

RTE showed a segment on the 6-One News about how the teams got to the final; footage of Shamrock Rovers v Bohs, saying Bohs were knocked out by their current tenants. They Also showed footage of Pats v Dundalk saying it was from their semi final match.

To think this was scripted by a professional sports journalist, then pre-recorded by a professional sports journalist with at least a sound crew in place and none of them managed to stop 2 mistakes in a one minute piece going out on the national news is very very sad.
