    What did you hear?

    Here is a post from the rugby forum with the opposite view (couldnt find any negative comments about the view from the Canal/Davin):

    Didn't hear it anywhere, saw it with my own eyes. The remoteness of the crowd from the goal line takes away from the atmosphere.

    Anyone in the first few row of the lower canal will be screwed.

    Really? The goals actually seemed quite close to the Davin stand when watching on tv.

    Huh? Is that not a contradiction?

    Were you actually at the match?

    A slight contradiction.

    I heard the reports from various people and saw the gap when I was in the stadium on Thursday for some business.

    From my own point of view I believe the canal, especially the lower front section, will offer a bad experience. Granted I've not seen 'live action' in it's current orientation.

    Do you not think the views will be compromised with the pitch being a distance away?

    Yes, and your payment should have been returned to the FAI ticket office by close of business yesterday (12th Feb)....

    Are you on the waiting list or the blocking booking list.

    If on the block booking you should pick up the phone ASAP, it on the waiting list then you probably weren't allocated.

    I think you might be right, unless of course the FAI suprise everybody by actually moving the playing area closer to the Irich fans at the Davin end rather than the away supporters at the Hill end.

    Hi Guys

    First post on the soccer forum so here goes.
    I am on the waiting list too. I rang the FAI during the week only to
    be told that I hadnt been successful in getting tickets. I was very disappointed needless to say.
    They told me that the tickets allocted are only for the 4 games this year, and that a similiar senario will be done next year.Not to sure where I stand next time around.....!
    I am still currently on the waiting list, so if people that were ahead of me dont take their allocations for the current 4 games they will be working their way up the list. (I should at this point explain that I was in the late three thousands on the list).
    They say that 12,000 tickets were allocted, but obviously that only accounts for a certain amount on the list as people were looking for different numbers of tickets. I was realistic in my request ( I thought anyway) and only asked for 3. I was told that most other people on the list were realistic too. I would like to see if people here actually asked for 10 and got 10 type of thing.
    Anyway thats what I was told.
    So if you haven't been offered them yet, most likely you wont be.( bummer I know).
    Hopefully lots of people drop out or dont take their allocations, heres hoping.

    Chef

    Not sure what you mean by that, we only have 4 home games left.

    Presumption is that GAA Central Council will agree to Croker being used for the 2008 as Lansdowne will still be 'under construction'.

    This is a bit off topic but anyway….

    There is a meeting on this very issue on Friday with an announcement expected Saturday morning.
    The only real issue for the GAA will be getting some sort of solid date from the IRFU (and the Gov.) on when work will actually start in Lansdowne, nothing has happened yet. So it is expected that CP will be available in 2008.

    Now on the issue of games and tickets, there will probably only be a max. of 3 competitive games in 2008, Sept, Oct and Nov qualifiers for WC 2010.
    So after that you are looking at frieldlies, which will probably earlier in the year, seeing as CP is unlikely to be available from May to Oct due to GAA commitments.

    Would there be big demand for friendlies in early 2008 if this team continues to stumble from one disaster to another?

    Croke Park wouldn't be made available for friendlies. If friendlies needed to be played they would be played away from home. Besides, the FAI have always had trouble trying to fill Lansdowne for friendlies never mind Croke Park

    I was under the impression that it would not be available for friendlies as part of the 2007 agreement but may be available under future agreements.
    And seeing as there will be no competitive games from Oct ‘07 to Sept ’08, I’d expect friendlies between Jan and May to be accommodated under the new agreement.

    But what's the point in negotiating for friendlies when they can just be played away from home especially considering the fact that we never fill Lansdowne at friendlies. Also, in the last few years Ireland haven't played that many friendlies away from home so they might use this as a chance to do so.

    No hone friendlies between August '06 and whne ever the new Lansdowne is ready, that's a long time without many home fans getting a chance to see the team

    The way they're playing that's problem not a bad thing!;)

    But seriously, they will have played a bag load of competitive matches by the time it's built. I'm not saying for definite that friendly matches won't be played in CP (because I don't know) but I'd be extremely surprised if they did play any.
