Tell me, how Galway have benefited from dundalk s success in Europe.

You’re scaring me now son, wholeheartedly agreeing with one of you frankly worries me

Has to be a wind up from Vinny. If he wants games played at their initial scheduled time, he can have them...

Bradley on the wind up today aswell in the paper giving out the FAI Cup games are getting postponed?
2 in a row and we won it in Tallaght

I was messing!

Vinny or Bradley were not winding anyone up. Just said its a joke our National Cup Competition is 2nd preference to the Scottish version of the LDV Vans trophy and games should not be moved to accommodateit.

They are not wrong.

Perth is being hypocritical, simple as. 

Bradley is a walking sound bite 

The real disgrace here is it makes financial sense for a club to play in the Wafer cup over our own competitions. 

The FAI giving Waterford & Bohs their backing to participate then scheduling cup games and an u21 game for the same weekend also beggars belief

The rumour mill suggests that the Galway-Rovers game has not been confirmed for a particular day yet as they FAI want it on the saturday, a day Galway usually don't play on, in the hope that it helps the crowd at the Ireland u-21 game in Tallaght on the Friday night.

The whole thing is a farce. If Irish teams are going to be entered into this competition then it should be factored in when they are scheduling the league/cup.

Only the FAI could have us in a situation like this

1) Overseas Invitational Freindly Tournaments for teams expected not to have players on International Duty, to have teams have players on international Duty.
2) Plan a Cup/League weekend on an international Weekend.
3) Postpone Cup games in favour of International Invitational Freindly Tournaments
4) Have Potential Monday/Tuesday Refixture dates a non runner as they also clash with international duty

Pity we’re not away, bigger earner for us in tallaght, and the pitch suits our lads style too. Mad scramble for tickets now I’d say,600 odd members then volunteers(60) then season tickets(250) , FAI cut of 250 or so doesn’t leave many general sale for the main stand(home). Plus the Garda will limit aways in the shed to 800, be a lot of disappointed punters!

The Dubiln Derby could easily attract 10,000. Gate receipts split between the 2 clubs and FAI - 40/40/20 or similar.
Rovers losing out on money through no fault of their own.
 
On saying that, Crumlin might agree to play in Tallaght rather then Inchicore.

It's a shame that only 3,500 people will be at it. 10k might be optimistic, but it would definitely do over 8k.

I wonder what numbers a bohs rovers final would do in the Aviva. Surely would bring out a lot of interested people in Dublin
