EL St Patricks Athletic vs Hannover 96 2/8/2012 Tallaght

VS

Tallaght Stadium Thursday 2/8/2012 7:45

Massive game, possibly one of the biggest away group of fans ever brought to Ireland. Hannover have circa 2000 fans in their stand, tickets still on sale and selling well. Highly unlikely we will get anything out of the game but once we play well and compete cant complain.

Come on Ze Germans!

Diabhal Beag

Thought for a minute that a wealthy Spanish investor had bought St. Pats from that thread title.

If I got the 76 to Tallaght, how would I get to the stadium from there?

I might go along if I'm not doing anything else. Have never been to Rovers stadium.

Disgraceful comment really. As a supporter of a League of Ireland club you should be hoping that St Pats win tonight. Only joking.

Aren't you a Sunderland supporter? Will you be cheering on Newcastle United in Europe this season?

Its just across the Tallaght bypass from the square

Hopefully St Pats can at least get a draw tonight. I don't see them being able to win but maybe they can get a draw and at least keep the tie alive going into the second leg.

Last stop or second last stop is no more than 5 minute walk straight in front of you, closer than the Luas actually.

If I walk down past the Topaz shop, will I just have to cross the road?

Zoom in at the last stop and that blue square is it, beside the Maldron. Once you get to the bypass it's hard to miss. There will probably be crowds heading for it anyway.

There could be a chance of me going back to Galway tomorrow evening so I'm not gonna commit to buying a ticket today. I'll chance my arm if I go tomorrow.

I think Paully was being sarcastic towards Des, bit of a reference to the 'Soccer Forum Staples' thread if I'm not mistaken.

Getting my ticket now, once I can turn my phone on.

NufcNavan

This game should be getting a lot more attention that it is currently getting from the media. I know the Olympics are on, but let's not forget the importance of this game.

2,000 Hannover fans are coming over for this game. It's very rare that any event in this country, never mind sporting, brings over such a number. Well done to Pats and hopefully they can get a positive result.

Spot on. I even put ''only joking'' in small white text which would have shown up when he quoted the post, seems he didn't notice it though. :pac:

That_Guy

This on live per chance?

Mushy

In Germany yes, not over here. Liverpool match being shown instead. Dreamers has some links up but they may be geo-restricted.

Finally got the tickets sorted.

dreamers75

Well i laughed......

Mr.Crinklewood

Good luck Pats. Should be a decent little atmosphere in Dublin before the game. I wonder where all the Hannover fans are congregating before it.

Nuri Sahin

Still contemplating whether or not to get tickets for this. What are the chances of showing up tomorrow an hour or so before KO and picking up a few tickets? I'd like to see few of the Hannover players but the game clashes with the Liverpool match (originally thought this was a 6PM KO in Belarus).

Really looking forward to this now. Gonna be cracking atmosphere, so hopefully a good game to boot.

Gavin "shels"

Probably heading over myself with two Junkie mates (one part timer), Thursday night and nothing else to be doing, plus no Shels this week so need my fix!

Omackeral

Have to say I'm genuinely behind the SuperSaints tomorrow night (although I will call them Syringeycore Junkies any time we play them). I think they are a credit to us in Europe the last couple of years, they never disgrace us yet have to travel to nut case locations that probably aren't even real countries.

Its an absolute shame that Irish media aren't giving them the hype they deserve, although part of me kinda feels ok about it because their first exposure could be a defeat, which will only fuel the ignorant ''sure Irish teams are shoite'' opinions further. I think Rovers got somewhat lucky with the shake of the stick they got for their exploits in Europe last year. I'm not taking away from the Belgrade night, that was fantastic. But other than that, there was nothing remarkable. Pat's went to deepest darkest Russia and pulled out results ffs. I think Rovers are more marketable and have an easier brand to sell, plus the Madrid game prob helped as well as the stadium.

All in all, I wish nothing but the best for Saint Patrick's Athletic tomorrow. Not because I 'should' as a League of Ireland ,as some will have you think. Conversely, I wont revel in any hiding they get, as other staunch LOI heads seem to think we should do, just coz fans of English teams would do so in Europe.

I want them to do well because I know they've had their hard times, the near 50 years of hurt in the domestic cup, the registration scandals, that 10-0, just as I've suffered our last minute loss to Red Bull Salzberg, our near extinction and the embarrasment of TNS. Sorry for the rant, but I can understand any Saint's passion and can relate to it. Do yourselves proud lads, not for our country or our league, but for your club.

It's not just for Pats, happens with every Irish team in Europe.

Someone will use the England arguement now but England have a far better co-efficient than Ireland. English teams would have to crash and burn every season for it to make any difference to them. They get three automatic CL places, when Ireland matches that, then that arguement is valid.

I dont like Pats but will be hoping they go through.

Lamper.sffc

Best of luck with the game. Hope yous do well.

bohsman

I obviously like seeing Rovers lose in Europe but would be nice to see last seasons Bohs team do well against the Germans.

Once you're there an hour beforehand there shouldn't be any issues

Less than a 1000 left, in the terrified zone now. We could get seriously spanked morrow. Convinced myself once we play well we be alright.

We 15/2 to win morrow night.........

Used to work with a guy who was one of the nicest people you could ever meet - he was a big Pats supporter. Hope they do well tomorrow and put a smile on Gerry's face.

Less than a thousand left for the West Stand. 2000 left for the East Stand. I heard from Hannover fans that they actually only sold 500 tickets.
