So how many fans do yous think will be over to your lovely former home this weekend. Come see what we have done to the place. (feck all)
And then go home happy in the knowledge yous still have the league to fight for:P

Looking forward to it, some bad memories of that place but should be good to go back. Reckon there'll probably around 1,000 Hoops.

It will be nice to remind yourselves how far you s have come.

1,000 hoops would be great. Id say we might get between 800 to 1,000 ourselves (hopefully)

Should be our biggest crowd so far id say. We had a crowd of just over 1,400 for our shels game this season so hopefully this game will exceed that. Cant wait myself.

We've been allocated 1500 tickets. They will sell out.
A couple of differences since Rovers were last there: a new set of decent floodlights and a much improved pitch.

We have painted the steps as well

Dave!

Lads any word on Bohs tickets? They sold out yet? On sale to public?

super_furry

Still only on sale to members and season ticket holders. Heard that they'll be on sale during half-time of the game with Bray next Saturday.

Wats the craic horse box... another bad result for the northside degeneracy last night haha

I was in the bookies yesterday at 4pm and Jason Byrne (From Bohs) was in there losing his bollox ... and I do mean his bollox on horses and dogs... 3 hours before the kick off in a FAI Cup quarter finals HAHA no wonder they're doing shiite

They're players are losing interest lately they dont even know where their next pay cheque is comin from... Ole Jason must be counting on PaddyPower for his :P

Any confirmation of this? Could fly up at half time if that's the case !

stovelid

If the game sells out, which I'm sure it will, Bohs should get the bare amount of tickets we're legally obliged to provide.

Any club would do the same.

Dave, I assume that tickets will be on sale inside the ground if they are for sale.

Lamper.sffc

Great game lads. Im sure yous are a little p#ssed off but you have to admit it was real end to end stuff at times. The two clubs could have done without the replay unfortunately. Whats the story about tickets for this game. Any chance of getting them on the night. Doubt it would sell out would it?

You'll easily get them on the night (most hoops will be doing the same thing TBF) theres a booth outside the ground that you'll be able to buy them from, cant see there being any 'special' security arrangements for this one either so i'd say it'll be the same spot for us all to get our tickets.

Other than the b*hs game supporters have mixed freely before each game in Tallaght with no bother, i'd fully expect this to be the same, so you'll get a ticket no bother, respect & dignity however is an entirely different matter

Just be careful that SDCC don't get a mob together for the fixture.

That said, as local authorities go, the Corpo probably have the tastiest firm.

The Volt

A game both sides could've done without to tell the truth, hopefully Twigg can be rested for Saturday at home to Bray. Many going to this? Or have we got a crowd succoming to the lures of the CL group stages?

Paulw

I'll be there tonight. It has the making of a great game. It could be close again. I think Rovers got a shock in the 2nd half on Saturday.

I guess I won't count though, since I won't be paying in.

The Volt

We just have not turned up for any of the second halved against Derry, Dundalk, Pats and Fingal. Worrying signs that we had a lead at half time in all of them

Are you a player or official? Are you on the agreed guest list? Are you an accredited member of the media and on the media list?

Just want the bleeding tie put to bed one or another at this stage.

At least that is one certainty from tonight - a result for someone. Extra time and penalties at the end, if there's no winner after the 90 mins.

I'm still hopeful that Fingal can do it. That could put a big damper on the Rovers season, and a good spur on for Fingal.

Lamper.sffc

oops that wasnt supposed to happen was it.:D

Anyway. hard luck lads. good luck for the rest of the season

dfx-

There's no describing how bad that is..

0-2 up, penalties, a reasonably strong side tested for 124 minutes (Bohs lost at FT), Bray go into Friday on the back of tonight and a win at Dalymount, a reasonably sizeable portion of a strong side playing rubbish, more missed penalties and to top it all, Sives suspended..

Alan Kirby has put Rovers out before...

chopperbyrne

We were awful tonight. Fingal were better in all aspects. Anyone know what the sending off was all about? We just saw the ball being cleared and then the ref blew up and sent him off.

I missed that too, and was wondering what it was for.

I must say, that final Rovers penalty has to be one of the worst taken penalties I've seen in years.

After the final whistle -

dfx-

I think Winter (?) had a couple of times previously brought Rice/captain over to tell him Sives was on thin ice for repetitive fouling. The free-kick came in, ball dropped to him for Sives to hit, lazily(?) swung his leg at it and the defender nipped it away before him leaving Sives catching the player.

What was he thinking trying to place a peno in the top corner in the last minute of extra time?!

Just blast it in!

stovelid

The last peno means that the curse is now officially back on too.

Seriously though, is that five missed (out of seven) at that end now? It's madness.

The penalty scored was at that end during the game though.

I know, aye. I meant that, if memory serves, of the last 7(6?) penalties taken at that end, only two have been converted, one of them being Bradley last night.

Gavin "shels"

Popped over to the Tallaght Stadium tonight as I was on a 2 hour lunch in college and I must say it's cracking, haven't seen it since the work started back on it and it looks class, went into the shop aswell and robbed a few ideas to bring to the 2 lads who run our shop, love the Rovers umbro beanies and the magnets.;)

Sorry Dave, I haven't. I'll let you know.

Bohs got 500 away tickets and the last 500 went on general sale in the shop yesterday. Think you could have picked up one at the Bray game last weekend too.

Apparently there are still people coming in trying to buy them.

For future reference:

Sunday and Monday: closed
Tuesday-Friday 1-6pm
Saturday 1-6pm

Open late match nights.

You should even ring in future and ask when/if tickets are going.

Had a ticket for the Rovers end, got one for the Bohs end today and got rid of the other one. No excuses for not getting a ticket tbh. Id say there'll be 1100 or so Bohs fans at it.

Not all of them will be able to open their mouths, I'd bet.

I used Pat Deans spare season ticket for the last one and was stuck sitting in Block B with a few rovers fans. Horrible way to watch a match.

The traitor. . I've done it myself. Sometimes it's just not worth the bother.

Can't win though: the Boez will try and sneak down to stand near the away end (although I think it will be a lot harder now with different colour tickets) and then they'll be much spunking off on fool.ie about any empty seats in the West Stand as evidence of Walter Mitty attendance reports.

They're usually on sale at half-time of the home game before the Bohs game.:)
