    This is a friendly in the middle of a cluster of SRFC games around the pale. Our three away games are Bray, Pats and Bohs in July so anyone looking to follow up an interest in Rovers has never had a better chance to do so.

    The Madrid game is a friendly, a perk for want of a better word that Rovers fans should and will get priority on. What's to say that a United or Pool fan deserves a ticket more than a Season Ticket holder/SRFC Member?

    Who says anyone wants them? I was askign about the standium, which I have doen on a couple of occasions in this thread. It's the attitude from some fans here just waiting to dive on the first hint that anyone that might have a preference for EPL football that stinks.

    There's unbelievable demand for tickets. I've had dozens of people ask me to get one and by the looks of things there's quite a popular demand for them on here as well.

    This isn't about LOI vs. EPL, this is people who have no interest in Rovers trying to get in on what's a momentous occasion for the club and for their own reasons that have nothing to do with the club

    This very much is. I've asked a few times over the last few months on updates about the stadium.

    Then this week, with the announcment of the Madrid game, I ask again and whether the 2nd satnd will be uyp for it. But this is then a red rag to a bull and gives certain people a chance to jump on me fo rdaring to want in to their stadium. I was also invloved in the initial discussion about season ticket prices before the season. But of course, I'm only interested in gettign tickets now that the Madrid game is on.

    Are people who like to watch Real Madrid and would like to see them playing in the flesh not allowed? It is a momentous occasion for Real Madrid fans here too I would think.

    It's that I reacted negatively to. I personally don't think any club is ever in a position to be for the want of turning away potential fans and Rovers certainly aren't in that business.

    Your posts indicated you were only interested in the second stand being erected solely for this game. if that is not the case then you would be more than welcome at any Rovers game. As far as I am aware there are still tickets left for our crucial league game against Galway United on Saturday

    You can see the point though Ste.

    As enjoyable as the friendly will be, it's not as important as our league and cup fixtures.

    It's unlikely that the overwhelming majority of the general public that go to a friendly with general access tickets will bother coming back. Especially not people like that clown I quoted. Being a P1 gig, the potential money isn't even that much; the publicity is far more valuable.

    I'd be more interested in local kids getting dibs on the tickets after the members/season ticket holders get them.

    That said, I'm all for the temporary seats going up if there was a chance they could be left up for future fixtures, or until the new stand goes up.

    Out of interest, how many of the games in Tallaght have you been to thus far?

    None. Didnt get tickets to the frist few games that sold out.

    Since then, work dried up and the dole just doesnt stretch to paying for things like anything that isnt food or bills.

    Does anyone know how temporary temporary seats actaully are though?

    Obviously, if the seats are being bought they should be left up.

    No hostility from me, just curiosity. If these friendlies bring even more regular punters to the ground, then im all for them. Understandably, Im less interested in seeing daytrippers in the ground for a match that we arent even getting the gate money for, id rather see other LOI fans get the tickets.

    None from me either. Would love to see more people (especially lads from Tallaght like yourselves) coming along. When you get the bug, you really won't look back, and it's never a case of having to choose between EPL and LOI. You can do both.

    You've just got to understand that the annoyance is aimed more at the people like the clown I quoted, and even people I know. People who spend their whole time scoffing out loud if you buy them a ticket for the game, but who suddenly are bombarding you with requests because their little princess might be playing. I'd rather see the tickets go to people who have no axe to grind, and who are just curious and enjoy football.

    Admittedly, the half-season ticket in itself is a good move too.

    Ordered it a couple of days back. Its on the way I'm led to believe.

    A note on the Real game. Rovers fans (in general) are not complaining about a few hundred bar stooler fans all of a sudden interested in going to a rovers game. Were not stupid, we know they are only interested because its Real Madrid. The problem is as its being played in our stadium involving our club members and season ticket holders should get first chance booking.

    After any member or season ticket holder thats interested has their ticket then the rest should go to joe public. Personally I've no preference for other loi fans or non loi fans getting them. The way I see it is if a loi fan gets it then happy days. If a non loi fans get one maybe they might get bitten by the bug of actually going to live football rather than worshiping Sky Sports and they may come back, be it to Rovers or someone else.

    Ye i think the best thing would have been to sell them inside the ground tomorow night. And maybe give 20 euro cash back to members season ticket holders upon entrance or a way of claiming your money back at a later stage.

    Pity the tix are online only. With the time frame, it might put some hoops under pressure if they're skint or don't have cards.

    That said, I'm getting two as are most of the hoops I know so hopefully a good few tickets will go back in circulation for the people who deserve them.

    This is not a league game, its a friendly against the biggest club in the world in a small stadium, organised by an outside PR firm.

    It should only be costing you about 14 euro for 2 adults and 2 children into Tallaght. Buy a half season family ticket.

    You will save the price of a Madrid ticket every 2 1/2 weeks.
