The second leg of the Saint Patrick’s Athletic versus FC Karpaty Lviv third round Europa League qualifier takes place this Thursday in Tallaght Stadium.
Why Tallaght? Well, according to the good people of Uefa, Richmond Park (the eh….Stadium of Light, remember that branding?) isn’t up to scratch. As such it’s a trip on the Luas line for all of us.
This video from last week in the Ukraine is excellent viewing. The lads left the familiar setting of Dublin pubs for the Dublin Pub of Lviv, where they ended up on national television as you do. On the pitch, things went less swimmingly, with the lads trailing two-nil going into this leg.
A full house, a wonderful atmosphere and some self-belief never hurt any football team. Tickets for the clash on Thursday are available now.
