It'll be good craic with the cliftonville fans at least. Wonder what will happen if cork don't make the Friday deadline. Either way a good chance of progressing.

Why Bray. Cork won the cup last year beating Glentoran, would it not be a Northern team that gets their place if they are wound up?

We played you in the eighties in a pre-season friendly - was that the last time we played you?
I remember that a good few of your supporters had to be carried off the bus as they had gotten so drunk on the way down and were stretched out on the terraces fast asleep for the whole game......Ahhh, those were the days!

I would have thought it would be Bray (as do the papers) because Bray finished 6th in Premier last season. There's 4 teams from LOI and 4 from IL, then the winner, (Cork last year). I think Bray deserve a chance.

My vote is for the Crues. Think they'd give a better account of the IL than Coleraine or Cliftonville this season.

Attendance wise its a disaster. If we got either Linfield or Glens they'd have brought massive away support and been a bigger attraction for sligo people than Cork and Cliftonville.
Really good chance of progressing though which is good!
Can't wait for the trip up North!

lol just seen the poster i lifted it off on the irish league forums. Hopefully it is played on the weekend, could see us bringing a decent enough away crowd for this, seeing as Albania was so difficult to get to. Do you thin better chance of it being on a Saturday than Monday or Tuesday? Looking forward to this.

Suppose 1st team qualifies from group and the second highest team in all the groups goes through to the semi's ya?

Mr_Parker
28/07/2009, 1:40 PM
Top of each group plus the best runner up from all the groups but I can't remember how they determine that one.
I reckon Cliftonville will bring a decent enough support. They tend to muster up a big support for the big games.

Depends what day it ends up on. I would say about 150/200 tops.

Nope - Cliftonville were not a big enuff attraction for the fixture to be played on the main pitch so we played it on a practice pitch!!
No point in disturbing the sheep on the main pitch for the likes of you ;)

If Bray take Cork's place then we should qualify from this group no problem, what would Cliftonville be like compared to our current squad ?

July 28, 2009
Northern rivals Linfield and Derry City have been paired in the group stages of the Setanta Sports Cup once again.

The draw for the 2009/10 competition took place on Tuesday afternoon at the Football Association of Ireland headquarters in Abbotstown.
Linfield and Derry have met in the group stages of the competition in each of the last three seasons, and will renew rivalry once again after this year’s competition gets under way next month.
St Patrick’s Athletic complete Group Three in the cross-border tournament, with Saints and Derry kicking off the section at Richmond Park on the weekend of August 28/29.
League of Ireland champions Bohemians and Irish League side Coleraine, two of the three first-time participants in the Setanta Cup this year, have been paired in the same three-team group.
Group Two also includes Glentoran, meaning the champions of either side of the border will face off in the group stages.
Group One, meanwhile, sees the other Setanta Cup debutants Sligo Rovers paired with Cliftonville and Cork City, although Cork’s participation is in grave doubt given the unpaid tax liabilities which could see the club plunge out of existence on Friday.
Title sponsors Setanta have also had their fair share of financial troubles this year, with the company’s UK parent going to the wall last month.
Speaking at the launch, Milo Corcoran, chairman of the Setanta Sports Cup Organising Committee, said: “It has been a pleasure to watch this competition grow since its debut season in 2005. On behalf of the FAI, IFA and the clubs, I would like to thank Setanta Sports for their ongoing commitment to the competition, despite what has been a challenging few months for their own company. Setanta Sports have been excellent partners for us and I am delighted to continue that partnership.
“This season sees nine clubs compete in the competition, making it the biggest ever Setanta Sports Cup. The introduction of a ninth club facilitates our move to spreading the clubs into three groups of three.
“Kicking off in August, the Setanta Sports Cup will run until May of next year. The introduction of semi-finals played over two legs will be welcomed by clubs and fans alike, while the scheduling of matches at the weekend for the first time is also a welcome addition.
“We believe that these changes to the format of the competition will improve what was already a winning recipe.”
Setanta Sports Cup 2009/10:
Group One: Cork City, Cliftonville, Sligo Rovers
Group Two: Bohemians, Glentoran, Coleraine
Group Three: Linfield, Derry City, St Patrick’s Athletic

Does Cliftonville have a pub like DC's?
DC's pub is unbelieveable, like a palace of footballing pubs.

LOL thats right.
Mr & Mrs McSharry used to live in the ground aswell, (they had a vicious little dog too.)
in a house that was located beside the old souvenir shop.
There is a small gold plaque and a tree commerating this on the right hand side as you enter the ground just beyond the turnstiles.
they were certainly different times

I remember attending a pre-season friendly at the Showgrounds against Cliftonville during Dermot Keely's time at the club. Craic it most certainly was not as the handful of Cliftonville fans who attended were drunk out of their skulls and abusive to all.

Judging by the fixture list we are down to play Cork on the weekend of 17/19th September.
According to our own domestic fixture list that’s the same weekend we are down for an away fixture with Cork. Going on how our fixture against Bohs has been pushed back to Tuesday then I’d imagine the same will happen with the away fixture with Cork. Which will mean we’ll have an away mid-week fixture against Cork and a home fixture with Shams a couple of days later.
