    There will be 350 Waterford fans there because thats all the tickets you've been provided by Cork City. Waterford were offered to physically sell the tickets themselves but were not willing to pay Cork City upfront so Cork City decided to sell them on Ticketmaster instead. No other club has ever had a problem with paying up front. There are also loads of tickets for the Waterford end available from that batch of 350.

    For those who want a drink beforehand, there are plenty of bars around the ground where you will be more than welcome, but just a word of warning that Munster are also playing in Musgrave Park at 7pm Friday night so you might want to allow for extra time for parking.

    Disappointing result in Cork the other night but I suppose it's no disgrace to lose away from home to the defending champions. The Blues matched Cork in the first half but Cork came out stronger after half time.

    Both of the goals seem to come from attacks down the left channel(our right side of defence) and the second goal came from a very soft challenge by the Blues defender on that side. We looked a bit vulnerable at times on the right side of defence in the first half too at the times when Cork kept the ball on the ground. Not sure if this was just a case of Cork being especially strong in that position but I wonder if anyone else noticed this too?

    I was surprised at the level of security there too. We got searched on the way in - I assume that happened to everyone or did my group just look a bit dodgy;)? I've gone to plenty matches in England at different levels and I don't ever remember being searched.

    I thought the Blues fans showed great support.

    This is the norm in the premier division. Personally I think it's a good thing. I didn't appreciate being left behind in the stadium for ten minutes after the game though in the bitter cold!

    To be honest, that was my first away game in the premier division ever, so I didn't realise that that was the norm. Yep, it was a chilly evening to be standing around alright!

    Very comfortable win tonight, Izzy was excellent, Hery scored an absolute beauty.

    2 disallowed goals also, they sat back and shut up shop with about 10/15 minutes to go and it was the only time in the game Pats had some pressure.

    Great start to the campaign

    great start is right. Hery goal was class. we are very solid all over. i know its early enough but i'm looking forward to see how we get on against Rovers, Dundalk and Bohs. that will tell us if we are within a chance of Europe.

    btw if we do qualify for Europe will the RSC be compatible with UEFA criteria?

    That game is on Monday 19th of March, not this Monday. The blues are playing UCC in the cup this Monday in the RSC

    Blues with a fantastic 2-1 win away to Sligo last night with new signing Duffus getting his first goal (a last minute winner). Blues were very good in the first half but sat back a bit deep second half inviting them on but showed great character to push on and Nick the win. Blues now sit joint top of the table ahead of Monday's game where we entertain Bohs in the RSC with a 7.45 ko. Hopefully we will have a big turnout.

    Yes unless the cup winners come from the top 3 then it becomes the top 4 qualify. Well that's what it was before this year......

    A very fast turnaround from away to Sligo Friday night. Carrying a few injuries, and, apparently a few more were ill over the weekend.
    We played better in the second half, fought hard for the win.
    Great crowd for a Monday night.
    I think anything this Friday will be a bonus, and we should be really aiming for a win at Bray next Monday.

    Heartbreaking defeat last night. Rennie sounded very upbeat after the match though. Proud of the players and rightly so. Bray is a very winnable game on Monday even with a few lads injured, onwards and upwards!
