INTEREST IS THE TICKET

Adam loves sell-outs... but he can't help everyone

BOHEMIANS v SHAMROCK R
Dalymount Park, 7.45pm

ADAM McDONNELL’S phone has been hopping again this week. 

With tickets for Dalymount Park games few and far between this season, he regularly gets tapped up for any spares that might be floating around.

And the demand spikes whenever the big derby comes around.

McDonnell grew up supporting the Gypsies and taking in games with his dad, before moving to England with Ipswich Town, Aldershot and Boreham Wood.

He said: “As a fan, it was different years ago, it wasn’t like it is now. I’m getting 50 people texting me every week for a ticket.

“I don’t think it was like that as much. It’s unbelievable. I’m getting messages off people I haven’t heard of since I was eight or nine years of age looking for tickets.

“It’s hard to please everyone but that’s a good thing. Everywhere in the league is the same. It’s great. I wouldn’t think it was like that four or five years ago. We need to keep that going.”
