Yesss go on the blues
Let's hope for a home draw for the semi finals but won't fear anyone left Really wish the FAI would follow the English FA and have the cup semi finals in The Aviva like Wembley is used in the FA Cup

nice sentiment but why on earth would the FAI go to the expense of staging semis at Lansdowne Road for a few thousand to turn up? I cant recall the amount needed through the turnstiles to even break even but its a significant number, that I do know. A double header may be feasible numbers wise depending on teams involved, but a nightmare crowd control wise and a non runner.

Yeah I don’t think I’d be for it, keep the Aviva for the final, makes it a much bigger achievement in getting there

The semi's in Wembley was always a bad idea if you ask me.

Would be very short sighted to not explore the possibility of hosting the semis in Lansdowne and while the gate receipts may not be a huge money maker having the semis there would certainly raise the profile of the cup and when they are going to look for sponsorship it may bare fruit. Couldn’t invisiage any security problems with the teams left so no reason why a double header could not work . Think it would be a huge shot in the arm for the cup .

The idea of a double header is worth exploring. If marketed properly, you could end up dragging in a lot of casual fans.

Maybe in normal circumstances but with Covid I think it’s a complete non runner

Got my tickets for the Cup semi final in Dalymount next Friday. Not every season the club gets to a cup semi final and getting to the Aviva would be a very special day. Any decent pubs around the area for a few pre match drinks (i imagine some might not be accommodating to away supporters)
Back to the league, huge huge match tomorrow night against Finn Harps. A defeat would be a disaster and would be pretty difficult for us to avoid 9th place even with a few games left.

The Hut is usually away friendly but it's a small pub, ye wouldn't be getting a couple of hundred of you in there

Hedigans (Brian Boru) is a good big pub close to the away end. Could accommodate a good few Waterford fans.

absolutely won’t have any hassle lads, great boozers all around the area.Doyle’s used to be a bit sniffy about football fans but they’d probably be dragging you in now! The huts grand as well, ditto the back page( think they’re doing a pizza and a pint for a tenner).
Phibsboro house is all bohs usually on match night, but you’d be welcome I’m sure. Cross guns and the boru are grand and the gravediggers a little bit further but a good spot to park up.

would you cop the f**k on, denied bohs 3 clear penalties, gave one and should have stamped out their nonsense early. It’s a wonder Liam Burt has two legs after that tonight, bunch of hackers.

Disappointing result tonight but Bohs fully deserved the win. Occasion got to our lads a bit. Let's hope we can regain focus and avoid that playoff spot
A spot of trouble coming out of the ground, no place in the game for that kind of carry on

My first Waterford match in two years, disappointing result but great to be back. Where was the trouble?
