Could you post it here... (http://www.ccfcforum.com/forum/index.php)

See you in a fortnight.

Cheers, David.
Am dying to sort out work commitments now for this as I've wanted a Linfield clash since the Setanta started.
Great to hear this offer, considering a few people might have apprehensions about heading up and hope to take ye up on it.

Ask any of the other teams that have come up, I'm pretty sure all of them have had a good time. If any of you need a hand with arrangements or phone numbers, any of us on here will give you a hand.. and David's supporters club is legendary for its hospitality :D

Lads, if you want a sample of what Davy and the Linfield lads can do, then check out the link below. This was from a couple of weeks ago.
Absolute top class lads up there. Last year and this year, hospitality and friendship outstanding.

That being said, could you keep us updated on here too for those of us too simple to be on that board! ;)

It can hardly be in Cork if it is between Linfield and Drogheda! If they have sense they will wait to see who is in the final before deciding. :)

If (when) Linfield are in the final it will be in Windsor Park. If Cork make the final (unlikely) it will be in Tolka Park.
That was the plan anyway, northern team = Windsor final, no northern team = Tolka final

why tolka? its a ****hole, and the pitch is probably rubbish at this time of year. turners cross is a better stadium.

Why should Drogheda or Pats have to travel all the way to Cork for the final when it can be played in Tolka which is far more convenient for them?

Why should city travel to Dublin for every final we have ever been in?

I'm fairly sure its in the rules that the final is to be played in Dublin if 2 southern teams play, in Belfast if 2 Northern teams, and to be rotated between Dublin and Belfast if one from either league. Last North/South game was in Dublin so next one is in Windsor.

I don't think there are any hard and fast rules on this. The Setanta organising committee seems to be flexible in terms of potential arrangements. Why should a hypothetical final betwen Cork City and Pats/Drogs be played in Dublin rather than Cork? We played the Drogs in the final in Tolka last year.

If Cork make the final then the neutral venue point should be made. If Linfield make the final then its only fair that the north get to host a final.

I think it is a rule. Seriously, not trying to wind you up or anything. I think it actually stated Tolka Park too but not 100% on that.
Its fairly obvious why the capital plays host to the finals of various cups.

I think a final with City played in Turners Cross would certainly guarantee a bigger crowd than a Tolka final versus either Pats or Drogs.

Well yes that would be right, but Cork is not the nations capital and going with protocol then the games should be played in either Dublin or Belfast, depending on the circumstances.
Anyway, we'll win it no matter where the game is played ;)

Is that you talking in the video David?
Half-thinking now about going up and down on the night which could mean arriving home at 6am for work in the case of penalties and some middle-of-the-night chips in Urlingford.
The Dublin bias knows no limits. Sure Pats were only invited as no Dublin teams had qualified & Setanta need a dublin team.

neutral eh? station road isnt really up to hosting a major event.
Because no one likes ye. :p
Thats rich coming from a Bohs fan...;)
Anyway back to non-childish matters...i am really looking forward to the trip David...its about time the two biggest clubs on this island met :)
They should get onto the MFA, they could used their stadium as a netural venue.
City have done that in the past!!
Best we do our best and try to get the final first!!
Will the same invitation apply to Pats fans for the final David?
If it is a Linfield Pats final then yes. We now try to do this with any team we play from over the border. Don't take this personally though but I am hoping for a Linfield Drogheda final. Have now had three superb days out with the Drogs lads and some real good friends down there.
Is that you talking in the video David?
Yes it is mate.
