Setanta Cup 2012

The knockout format has made it more interesting, I think if they reduced it to one leg, and have a toss for home venue would be best.

Trips away to Glentoran and Linfield were very enjoyable nights (day in Glentoran case, thank God - not a place to get lost in at night

).

Can see no logic for people wanting it scrapped, as said before - dont like it dont go. simple as.

Story in today's Mail that Setanta are to focus on increasing their GAA following and they wont be showing any of the 2012 setanta cup games live.

Surely if this is the case it will be the last year of Setanta cup.

They didn't show that many games live last year, if my memory serves me right. Seems odd the wouldn't show at least the final.

Glentoran's first round, first leg Setanta Sports Cup tie away to Bray Wanderers has now been brought forward to Saturday 11th February with a 3pm kick off.
The home leg on 20th February will kick off at 7.45pm subject to TV coverage

**legendz** · 28/01/2012, 3:55 PM

It'll be great to see a few more of these games shown live. After a bit of trial and error they seem to have come up with a structure that suits the competition. Good luck to all LoI clubs involved.

bit of a debate over on the Bohs board about whether there is TV money for the games Setanta shows live. I thought that every team got appearance money and that TV appearnaces were factored into these funds but another poster is pretty adamant that there is 2k for the home team and 500 for the away. Can anyone verify either side of this one? cheers,,,

Will it be Setanta handing over the cash to the clubs or is it through the FAI. The FAI have stopped compensating home teams for lower crowds when a game is on RTE !!!

The IFA president claimed a feew months ago that their teams didnt get their money on time. He claimed that the money is given to the FAI(for some reason) and that thye must distribute it. I cant find the piece, cant remember if it was in a paper or whether it was on the net. If any knows the piece Im referring to can you also have a look for it.
