Glentoran chairman Aubry Ralph slammed Setanta Cup organisers after hundreds of Glens fans have been left without tickets for Saturday's final in Cork.
"We have received 1100 tickets but the stand for which we hoped to get extra tickets has not been issued with a safety certificate and will be closed.
"Fans have paid for accommodation and travel but have no tickets which is a recipe for disaster," said Ralph.
"Any pleasure we had in getting to this final has been seriously eroded."
Ralph explained that at least 200 supporters had been left ticketless, including some who are due to travel from the United Kingdom and one from Hamburg.
"We were promised an extra 400 or 500 tickets, in addition to the initial 1100, but obviously can't happen now.
"My grievance is not with Cork City but with the Setanta Cup Organising Committee as it is obvious that Turner's Cross is not fit to host such a final.
"We have been treated disgracefully for this final and have already held informal talks with Linfield about the future of the competiton"
"Construction work has been going on at the ground for some time and I have to question the individuals who planned this and why it was allowed to get to this stage.
"How do we explain the situation to supporters without tickets and all this could have been avoided."
The Oval chairman reiterated his objection that Turner's Cross was chosen to stage the final but said his club had been realistic in the allocation they had requested.
"We were confident that we could sell 1500 tickets and would have remained hopeful that that would be the case.
"The IFA has been lobbying on our behalf and I have sent a very strongly worded email to Milo Corcoran and Michael Hayes at the FAI calling on those men to consider their position.
"We have been treated disgracefully for this final and have already held informal talks with Linfield about the future of the competiton.
"I will take a lot of convincing that Glentoran should be part of the Setanta Cup next year under the present regime and there will have to be serious changes to the organisation of the tournament.
"The prize money is considerable but the tournament must be operated on a fair basis and I believe that the FAI has too much sway in how the thing is run at the moment.
"It is time for clubs in Northern Ireland to stand up and be counted."
