[Iorfa2MaccaJim]

Does anyone know when the coin toss is on for the rights of home advantage for the League Cup Final ?

[The Betting Man]

Belfast? :confused:

[dcfcsteve]

Who's in the final - Bohs ans who ?

No point having it in Dalymount, as Bohs fans have made a big deal about telling everyone for the last two years how they don't care about winning the League Cup..... :o

[John83]

Belfast? :confused:
Kuala Lumpur.

Ay, ay, ay, no me gusta!

More importantly, can we get to keep the coin? 65% and counting

[razor]

Hey now!! We need the money too! How about we toss a coin to decide that? :D

Least shocking news of the Century

[brendy_éire]

"Following discussions with both clubs, it was agreed that the EA SPORTS Cup final will take place in the RSC. The two teams will compete for a prize fund of €15,000, as well as a guaranteed place in the 2010/11 Setanta Sports Cup."

What were these 'discussions'? I would have assume the coin toss was in the rules.

They clubs can come to an agreement if they like. Sometimes the smaller club agrees to play away to get half of the larger gate.

I just remembered Kildare did the same with us last year in the Cup when the first game was called off because of rain.

Derry City don't have 'discussions' with other LoI clubs.
That's already agreed.

[Longfordian]

Just on the subject of this thread, it brings back memories of the time our former chairman attended a coin toss via telephone.

Exactly, otherwise why are they employing a load of tossers at Abbotstown? :confused:

what occasion was that longfordian I assume it was Adrian Duncan?:confused:

[Longfordian]

It was indeed Adrian Duncan. Can't remember exactly what it was for now, maybe the toss for colours in the 2001 cup final. It was just amusing to think of someone not being able to see what side of the coin is showing but still "representing the club" at the toss.

[Mr A]

I suspect that might have been for the order of the matches in the playoff against us that time. I think the coin toss was made in Whitehall immediately after our last game against Dublin City.

That was a maaaaaaaaad day.

[Longfordian]

Could have been then alright, he was in charge at that time.

It wouldn't surprise me if he actually made the phone call from a public phone box on Longford's main street either :D

Exactly - which is why Bohs have agreed to go to Waterford!!!! :D

Dubs going to Waterford ? I believe its called missionary work ;)

[eL Bettor]

Any idea why Bohs would agree to the game being played in Waterford?

Is it because there's a good chance the game will get a higher attendance in Waterford?

[pineapple stu]

You're serious? There was a coin toss. Waterford won.

[pineapple stu]

I'm assuming mediahack's post above was a joke.

[Raheny Red]

anybody?

Yeah Bohs will be happy enough with that provided the WUFC 'part time' fans decide to show. For instance, when we got Derry away in the cup final a few years back Ollie was over the moon. Full house guaranteed.

[eL Bettor]

You're serious? There was a coin toss. Waterford won.

The press release said "it was agreed following discussions" if I remember correctly.

John Delaney said it we allow Waterford home advantage for the league cup final then we wont get relgated so we agreed to play it in Waterford win win situation for both clubs

[John83]

If so, I stand corrected.

I remember something similar being said when w`ford were drawn at home v Cork in the fai cup a few years ago. Home fan turnout was shockingly low.

Bohs will bring 400-500 fans, willl Waterford have 1,000 at it?
Playing in Dalymount would probably attract 2,000- 2,500 and Bohs would get the bar takings, so no advantage to us unless we`re trying to keep Delaney sweet;)

It'll be a sell-out, dont worry. 3000+ at it.

Well if you can increase your home support by 600% for a minor trophy , that will be some acheivement.
Is there much work been done to promote the game locally?

[Longfordian]

I'd imagine it'll be similar to when we played Bohs in Flancare in the final in 2004. Around 4000 turned up when our regular attendance was around 700 at the time.

For Waterford people, a final is a final, especially to those who dont regularly come. I'm delighted its on down here though, just for the people who come week in week out and have done for a number of years. And with the hurlers being knocked out last weekend, that should help.

[Sidefx]

There was no coin toss; Delaney wanted it in Waterford.

[marinobohs]

My understanding is that the clubs agreed to the location. presumably this was because it was felt that the League cup was not a big attraction at bohs (as in we generally play a 2nd string X1) and it was more likely to get a bigger interest/crowd in Waterford.
Nice to see a final outside Dublin again :rolleyes: and hope that it suceeds in generating a bit of interest in Waterford.

[stann]

Delaney wanted it in Waterford.

Bulls**t

...is the right answer.

[Rovers1]

It sure is! There will be a bigger crowd in Waterford than there would be if the game was played in Dublin.

As soon as it was known Waterford had advanced to the final it was pretty clear where the final was going to be.
