Why are the ticket prices so weird?

Adults €27.15
Concessions €17.15
Family (2 Adults/2 Children) €80.60

prolly because the players get paid in sterling. pretty weird otherwise

Thanks DesF kickoff is 3pm

Hmm, here I did you a map.



See the Red X, that's Tolka Park, the city centre is off to the bottom of the map.

Now, the Blue line, just above and to the right, that's a small cul-de-sac, but parking is good there, if you are there about 1ish, stick the car into it, and just walk up to the Drumcondra Rd (the green road to the left), there's a few decent pubs there.

Further left than Drumcondra Rd would be parking too, it's a housing estate though, so space will be at a premium.

Otherwise, anywhere along the Grace Park, just after the blue line, but you could end up in Whitehall and walking down.

Especially if there are 5 or 6 thousand expected.

Ah DesF! You're a pet;) Thanks so much for going to all that trouble. Fair play to ya!

dear god where do i start on this stinking pile of horse manure..

went down to the match in the cross last night (thankfully i didnt have to pay, if i did i would have been quite annoyed). "Legends" my eye. Bruce grobbelaar, john barnes, john aldridge and lee sharpe were the only "legends" that were there. I mean, Ben Thornley was on the united team! he now plays for the mighty Wilmslow Albion in the East Cheshire Sunday Football League Division Two, according to wikipedia

as for the game itself, it was absolutely dreadful. i'd rather iron my sack than watch that again. john barnes in particular was a disgrace, he could barely move , let alone play football. it reminded me of the over 75 priests 5-a-side game in Father Ted. if i wanted to watch old people shuffle around and not do very much except complain i'd call up to my grandparents..

on the plus side though, grobbelaar was brilliant, he still has it. pulled off one or two quality saves. man of the match by far for me, followed closely by john aldridge, just for the simple fact he actually did some running and actually looked enthusiastic about it..

the organisers wouldnt get away with staging this in cork any time soon, i can tell you that..

pure rubbish from start to finish..

Me neither:(

How many was there?

don;t think they announced the crowd figures ..but it was most people i;ve seen in tolka for a long time .. probably around 60-70 % capacity ...

Good game, some of the players were wreaked after 10! Jason Mc & Lee Sharp had good games - probably the youngest on the field!

My guess would have been 4000 liverpool fans and 1000 utd fans!
If the average ticket was 20euro thats 100,000 for shels! (obviously theres a fair chunk going to the legends, or charity - whatever they do with the money)
