This really should have been sorted out weeks or even months ago.

What's that saying used to describe the FAI?

What a joke. They must have forked out a few quid to get City and Inter there, and at least a tenner for Celtic, so you'd think they'd make an effort with the facilities. Reminds me of changing out of a minibus in my youth at some less glamorous places.

think i heard celtic got 50k, i did hear another rumour that one club got a million but seems far fetched. These League 11 select teams are always shit,they would be better off putting in the league champions or another full league team as there usually much better than a group of individuals thrown together. Also the league 11 is completely depleted as Irish teams involved in europe(most of the big teams)didnt release any players as they all played last night or tonight.

All in all i will be surprised if this runs next year as tickets havent really sold either....

I dont think Inter would go for less than a million. Us too now, but as it's nearly next door we probably gave them a discount!

Maybe they are short of builders in Ireland?

wouldn't be surprised.... seems that most irish men have moved 'over here' since their economy collapsed.... so many in fact that london now boasts a gaelic football team that can give the local irish sides a decent run for their money....
