Waterford United vs. Bohemians - EA Final - Tonight

Sully · 26-09-2009 12:47pm #1

Just a reminder for those who forgot or were unaware..

Waterford United are facing Bohemians tonight for the EA Sports Cup final at the RSC, with kick of at 5.30pm. This is the third time in its 35 year history Waterford have played in the final.

Hopefully there will be a big crowd out there tonight to cheer on the club.

Good luck lads, hope you thrash em! As a Rovers fan we need all the help we can get in knocking Bohs' confidence going in to the last few games!

Game is sold out but on Setanta 1.

Went to Ger Wyley's to get my tickets this morning but they had been sent back.
Anyone know if there's any tickets on sale later?
Given our attendances this season I hadn't figured on needing a ticket.

iseegirls · 26-09-2009 2:44pm

WLR are saying that there's standing tickets still available - where though I don't know.

CantGetNoSleep · 26-09-2009 2:49pm

No stand tickets left so?

I find that hard to believe. Given the increased price I thought there'd be even less than for a league game.

Mossy Monk · 26-09-2009 3:17pm

It's a final. People get excited by finals.

Both stands are sold out. Standing is around the ground only

fair fcuks to them, my own fault for not getting a ticket, pub it is then.
I hope they all come back.

Sully · 26-09-2009 5:23pm

Friends got two seated tickets 10mins ago. Some still available at main enterance it seems.

Sully · 26-09-2009 6:07pm

United 0 - 2 Bohs so far, goals from a free kick and penalty. Disapointing!

Sully · 26-09-2009 6:18pm

Make that 3 goals to Bohs.

south · 26-09-2009 6:37pm

not looking good for the lads.

Sully · 26-09-2009 7:49pm

Final score.. United 1 3 Bohs.

showry · 26-09-2009 8:38pm

they gave it a good go in the second half in fairness,
no shame, bohs are the best team in the country by a margin,
if we were to get half that crowd at the RSC every fortnight it'd make some difference

Mossy Monk · 26-09-2009 8:45pm

That's the problem though. A lot of sunshine supporters were out today.

What are you talkin about, how are so called "sunshine supporters" the problem? Its because of people like you that no one goes down there....

I'm not sure of your logic here. Are you really saying that the reasoning behind someone's decision not to go to the loi is based on other people's opinions? Surely if you went regularly you wouldn't be a "sunshine" so that comment wouldn't apply anyway.

What im saying is there are a certain amount of Waterford United supporters who are happy the way things are and would be negative towards any new people turning up at the RSC....

Were the offiicals as bad as the lads on the radio were saying or was it a sort of bias commentry, which i would doubt would happen.

didn't seem any worse than normal,
penalty seemed quite clear cut, Mick Devine's goal was out of the officials' hands (as well as his own).
If it's bad officials you're after, the Dungarvan v Cappoquinn intermediate hurling was the place to be today,

I found it hard to tell from the stand, but it seemed that way and the supporters around me were pretty peeved with the ref.

There to me would appear to be a problem or two within the club which to me does not help the whole thing. A while back i emailed the club and made a few suggestions, like say coming to Dungarvan maybe once a month for a day and sell lotto tickets in the shopping centre, maybe a ticket that you buy and be put in for every draw that month. I also suggested that an outlet be found in Dungarvan to sell club merchandise.

I was told in no certain circumstances that what i suggested was not on. I was told that tickets are for sale from so and so in Dungarvan and also in such and such a pub. I dont think they realise that not every one that shops in Dungarvan is not from Dungarvan and therefore do not know everyone that lives in the town, and i am sure that there is not one person that lives in the town that knows everyone, so to say they can be got from such a person is not on. I am and am sure a number of other people do not drink and therefore have no reason to go into the pubs in Dungarvan just to buy lotto tickets. And anyway, it is mostly early on a Saturday when i am in town and the pubs are not open at that stage.

To me if the people involved with Waterford Utd want the people of the city and the county to support the club they have to get off their arses and to go out and set up or find outlets where people can help out the club by buying lotto tickets, jerseys etc.

Coming up to big G.A.A. matches you see people involved in the g.a.a. give up of their time to sell flags etc in public in Waterford and Dungarvan etc, find outlets for year books etc to be sold. if the G.a.a. can do it, why cant Waterford Utd.

I do not want to be see to critisie, just offering some constructive critism.

Penalty was definetly a dodgy decision other than that they were ok...

Afaik, they sell tickets both in the club, on the night and in some shop in Waterford. The new club online shop will, hopefully, sell tickets also.

Yeah at the end of the day the GAA is in people's blood, its a family thing there will always be support for Waterford GAA, there is a certain amount of arrogance with not just the people at Waterford United but with Irish soccer in general there is a lot of anti GAA feeling with these people, when in my view they should be focusing there energy on people who follow english soccer religiously...

I am not a Waterford United supporter. I have never attended a game. I wasn't at the game today and I have no intention of ever going. If Waterford United could get half of what attended tonight on a regular basis then they wouldn't haver the financial troubles of the past while.

People who come out for the big games, they are sunshine supporters. Every team has them. Same happens for hurling and other sports too.

Yeah thats true. But if Waterford United had "sunshine supporters" in the RSC tonight its the people who run the club's fault and not the "sunshine supporter". If Real Madrid came to the RSC obviously there would be more supporters there because come on, Real Madrid are bigger than Wexford youths are'nt they?

Don't knock the sunshine supporters, I spoke to guys there tonight who rarely come to the rsc but after tonight said they'd like to in future.They may or may not,but reaching a cup final has stirred up some interest in the club.

Success breeds success in football and the more success United have the more people will turn up to games.
These 'sunshine supporters' along with the young lads are the future of our club, don't knock them,embrace them.
