The Limerick lads seem to be very upset about this game being played at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, I have no idea why?

Cork have home advantage this year, because you had it last year, simple as that! I'm sure the Cork crowd wont give two hoots how many people were at the game if they win!

Get over it boys!

It is the fact a load of geniune fans will miss out. limerick will have an allocation of twelve thousand and Cork ten according to reports, where will the other ten thousand go. I don't care where we play Cork as we will be winning the match if it was played in McHale park it would not be an issue. Jesus lads ye will be in for a livener on the 13th. Speaking at my club a huge portion of people will miss out on simple numbers.

Limerick are setting themselves up for the fall, time to move on and get over it. I am sure the genuine Limerick fans that go to most games will get a ticket due to them having a season ticket.

More accurate to say limerick ppl ( and others too) having a problem with there being 8000 tickets less than last year


Be fair now mac attack limerick didn't complain when they went to thurles. Has nothing to do with playing away. Solely to do with good hurling getting useless or no tickets.
Is that do hard to understand????
35000 at hurlings second biggest game of the year is a joke and does nothing to promote hurling.

It is the fact Limerick have a bigger fan base than certain counties and lots of people from Limerick and CORK will miss out on this game. Cork have the biggest support in the country for both codes no question, Limerick would be a very close second in the hurling. It says it all when the gaelic football munster final tickets are on general sale.

Yew Tree, you obviously don't get it. I spoke to two guys from large inner city clubs last night at the minors and they were told their chances of getting tickets were not great due to numbers required in the club. I will get my ticket, through the club, work may even chuck me one, it is not always the case that the geniune fan will get a ticket though so don't throw out that line. There are geniune fans in all counties who sometimes are not affiliated with clubs but they go to every game at all levels.

I was always 100% certain of a ticket no matter what but due to injury I'm not active with my club this year, my club may give me one but I'm concerned. Now I go to every league game, even up north, I go to most Minor and u-21, I even go to most challenge games but the reality is I may not get a ticket. My club sent an email out to everyone saying that they will not get enough tickets.
And to make it worse It has been confirmed today that no tickets will go on general sale.

In that case they should have a season ticket.

It's statements like this that make it very hard to take your opinions seriously.

Kurt between hurling and football Cork have a monstrous support. They outnumbered ye at the hurling semi last year,

Cork have the biggest Hurling following alright id say but their football supporters are pathetic...Leitrim would outnumber them.

Where were your huge numbers for your league games throughout the year ?

Surely people who go to all games league and championship have season tickets of some discription no ?

We have a fantastic hurling support no doubt but apart from the annual championship battle with Kerry we must have the worst football support per head of population in the country. Disappointing but true.

Apologies always thought they had a better football fan base.

Lads, can ye keep the debate to the facts.
The Limerick county board, team management and team have NO PROBLEM playing Cork in Cork.
The problem that Limerick people have is that its a Munster final and will attract a demand for tickets far greater then whats available.
I am sure that there are Cork people too who will be dissapointed when they realize that they wont be getting a ticket.
The people who will be most affected are the juvenile's as I am sure that the "family" tickets will not be available and these young children have no business in the terrace.
I really hope that H & S guidelines are fully enforced and that supporters will not be put at risk. I find it strange that Cork can make a few minor adjustments and changes and the crowd can increase by 5,000 in a couple of days.
Even with a 35,000 capacity it is still leaving 10,000 approx with no tickets and that is why Limerick people are complaining as Limerick had the larger number at last years final.

Waynol, you could ask re league games about every county so don't give me that one fella. I am sure the 13-15k from Limerick and Cork (3 times) that travelled to Thurles are not going to get tickets. Or a large portion of the 35k from both Limerick and Cork that travelled to semi's and finals in Croke park last year, Cork on 3 occassions again are not going to get tickets. So to say everyone will get tickets is untrue, end of the day a certain amount of fan will get tickets. You will have the freebie brigade who will get theirs and then you will have corporate.

Hoover78 (Limerick) - Posts: 865 - 27/06/2014 12:29:09    1609849

About 10-15K people will not get to go to the Munster hurling final that would otherwise have gone. There's a huge interest in this. The fans are the losers. Joke shop indeed. Football should easily be accommodated in PUC.

The other 10'000 will go to Munster Council, other counties etc and the usual places other than the competing counties

Not everyone gets a season ticket as they don't go to league games as they've other commitments like clubs games, work, other sports etc and they are genuine fans but simply have other commitments. Season tickets if you cant get to all games not worth price either...
