Lansdowne Road. Yes.

The_Kew_Tour · 04-10-2015 10:27pm

About 20,000 I say

Paz-CCFC · 04-10-2015 10:36pm

Some feeling getting into another final. 2007 feels like a long time ago. Really should've put Bray away earlier, but sure, 1-0 is more than good enough. Great crowd travelled up, must have been 800+. It's these kinds of away trips that you live for as a football fan.

There were about 25,000 at the 2005 Cup Final in the old Lansdowne. Tickets were €25 for that, as far as I remember. They're a tenner now. You'd think we'd bring a similar crowd to what we brought that time (although, maybe less since we were chasing a double then), Dundalk would bring much more than what Drogheda did and the two best teams for the last two years would be a bigger draw for the neutrals.

applehunter · 04-10-2015 11:48pm

What I remember from the final in 2005 is that on a pitch like Lansdowne pace is crucial.

Need Morrissey, Sheppard and Dennehy fit.

hman231 · 06-10-2015 9:56pm

Fair play Morrissey. two seasons ago he did really well when given a run in the team. I hope that he now starts all the remaining games for the season he is a really good player and the pressure that was on him vs bray was huge as he hadn't hardly kicked a ball all year and to come up with the winner shows great bottle. Hoping for a good win vs Drogs now Friday want to keep up the good recent form

Worztron · 07-10-2015 10:06am

It'd be great if City signed Richie Towell. What are the chances?

gimmick · 07-10-2015 10:07am

Zero.

Wilberto · 07-10-2015 7:47pm

I heard that Towell and Horgan could both be on there way to Bolton Wanderers. I don't no how true the rumour is, but it's about time someone across the water took a gamble on him/them.

Now or never for Towell to go over will turn 25 next July. Horgan turned 23 in August

CHealy · 12-10-2015 3:56pm

We should stop worrying about Towell and Horgan and start worrying about sorting out our own team and style of play.

Tickets for the cup final went on sale today, €10 a pop is excellent value. I'd urge everyone to buy tickets for section 114 or 115 as these have been designated as singing/standing sections, get in there and create an athmosphere cause we are going to need it.

No point guys going to these sections unless they are willing to sing for the 90+ minutes

Whatever about signing, its getting them to sing is what we need.

Who's "worrying" about Towell and Horgan? I think you may have missed my point, which is odd considering it's there in black and white.

You posted a full comment on Towell and Horgans situation, that would say to me that you are more worried about where they end up rather than the team City put togheter. Seeing as this is a Cork City FC thread I would say its in black and white that I am correct. You can take your smary reply and you know where to put it.

No point in just having everyone singing haphazard.

Need to sort out the altos from the sopranos etc.

hufpc8w3adnk65 · 13-10-2015 11:53am

Were all passionate about Cork City. Lads will have differing opinions. That's part and parcel of all football debates. Let's not start attacking each other

gimmick · 13-10-2015 11:54am

Trying to sort out travel for the final is proving to be irritating. Pity the club are not running a train.

There are so so many ways of getting to and from Dublin on any given day at any given time, expecting the club to sort out a train for you is nothing short of laziness.

gimmick · 13-10-2015 2:11pm

A train would be a great idea.

Paz-CCFC · 13-10-2015 9:10pm

If you're that adamant on the club running a train, get onto Iarnród Éireann and get a quote, capacity, organise the times for it to leave/return, make a start on getting people booked on and pass all the info onto the club to advertise.

Some lads got a very good deal on the train 25 euros return or do price has since gone up to 73. If cost is an issue the sir coach or go bus is also quite reasonable I paid 12 single on Sunday for an air coach back to Cork journey took about 2.75 hours. A special train would cost 50 I'd imagine. The guys that got the good train prices were fast off the mark fair play to them.

I don't work for the club so I think it would be remiss of me to masquerade as a club employee. Why would you want someone to do that?

Who said anything about masquerading as a club employee? You don't have to be a Cork City FC employee to ring Iarnród Éireann and ask about info chartering a train. Don't you think your idea would have a little more chance of success if you did something to get the ball rolling?

gimmick · 14-10-2015 11:52am

As a season ticket holder and a Foras member I don't think it is my duty to do the clubs work.

You were the one so keen on running a train. If you really want something done, then there's no reason why you shouldn't get the ball rolling yourself. All the buses, both drinking and non-drinking, are run independent of the club (the Family Enclosure run the main buses that the club advertise, but it is still independent). The lads that run these don't just sit back and say the club should organise their travel. They take a bit of initiative and organise it themselves. Why should a train be any different?

The club is based much more on volunteers than two full-time office staff.

Exactly, you're a fan and a member. You are the club.

I take my hat off to anyone who has the patience to organise a bus.

gimmick · 14-10-2015 2:14pm

Having organised a bus to Dundalk last year it is something I am never tempted to do again. Utterly painful.

CHealy · 14-10-2015 4:37pm

I've done my time in the past running buses to numerous away games and its tiring. Some excuses people come out with for last minute pull outs are nothing short of disrespectful.

gimmick · 14-10-2015 5:35pm

We had 3 pull outs the night before the Dundalk game. They got a lift and it was "cheaper".

We bugged and bothered them until we got the money out of them. So it wasn't cheaper for them at all.

Alfie Tupper · 16-10-2015 8:39am

does anyone know if there will be cup final tickets for sale at the ground tonight before the Longford game?

Your dreams have been answered, straight to the Aviva an all for ya. That will be a dry train though, Irish Rail specials are now stricktly non drinking, dunno if that effects you.

gimmick · 16-10-2015 11:22am

Im sure booze will be on board somehow.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 16-10-2015 11:19pm

How have we got into a position where we basically need 7 from 9 points in our final 3 games against 1st 3rd and 4th to hold onto second place. FFS

applehunter · 16-10-2015 11:32pm

We don't deserve to be in 2nd place anyway.

We are worse than last year.

gimmick · 17-10-2015 1:31am

Tonight's performance was comedy. Nulty Beattie Dunleavy were good. The rest utter rubbish with a special mention for Darren Dennehy who played arguably the worst i have seen a guy play in 25 years supporting city.

applehunter · 17-10-2015 2:47am

It was a bad night ...again..

anyway

Very selective Gimmick.

Dunleavy's unpteenth sloppy pass gave up Longford's winner...

McNulty left in 3 goals.....

Beattie looked tired to me...despite his goal

The one player that shined like a beacon was 33 year old Dan Murray. calmness under pressure and range of passing were the only positives about the game.

As for Darren Dennehy. Nobody from the midfield were looking for the ball off him most of the time and his full backs were off their game.
