Both Cork City and Glentoran have announced their allocations for the next Saturday night's Setanta Sports Cup Final.
Cork, who will have 'home' advantage in the Final, will receive the entire Curragh Road End as well as the Donie Forde Stand. Tickets were expected to go on sale to Season Ticket Holders on Friday and are priced at €20 for adults and €10 for children Any remaining tickets will then be on sale to members of the general public.
The decision by the cross-border competition's committee to host the final down in Cork wasn't greeted too well by fans of the Belfast club and with the rumour that the St. Annes end, which has undergone a recent refurbishment, will not be ready; it means the Glens will be given just 1100 tickets. There will be 850 adult tickets priced at £16 and 250 concessions for £8. These tickets will only be available from The Oval and the full details are on the clubs official website: www.glentoran.com .
It is still unknown whether the St.Annes end will be open for the game as the new roof has yet to be completed. If the stand is open in time, it is expected to be shared between both sets of fans.
