Setanta Cup Playoff

[ramblers]

Just realised we have another match next monday week in the playoff with Derry city to see who goes in to the Setanta Cup!!!

Its a draw for who will be at home.Hopefully we will be at home as it would be a great end to the season.

[chimpster]

Heard tonight that it might be televised by Setanta, so if its in the Brandywell all is not lost for those of us who can't get up there!

Cobh v Cork in the Setanta next February?

Setanta Sports Cup play-off

Monday, November 19th

Derry City v Cobh Ramblers

Brandywell Stadium 7.45pm

[extra time and penalties if required]

Confirmed by the League just now.

[paudie]

Draw happened very quickly.

Hard to believe any Ramblers reps were at the draw.

Cobh v Cork in the Setanta next February?

I dunno, Setanta usually try to keep dangerous local rivalries in seperate groups :o

[sniffa]

Does this mean that the Setanta Cup starts on the 19th i.e. North v South :D

[RamsieOnTour]

The draw was made in Athlone after the match.

Its a bit disgracefull to be played on a Monday

Cant see many being able to travel mid week

I reckon the draw was fixed for our advantage as Setanta need us in their competition, to then fix our annual games with Linfield. We did the long journey this year already midweek, it's your turn:p

[rambler14]

I'm gonna try and make the journey.

[Cici900]

I am going. should be good

[RamsieOnTour]

il be there as well. Il be working in Waterford on Sunday so il drive to Dublin Sunday night stay with the girlfriend and Monday head onto Derry.

It be nice to get a few supporters up for this important game.

Surly the Supporters Club could run a bus as a win in this game will have major benefits to our finances.

Come on the Rams We can do it.

[StephenPiggott]

A bus would be brilliant. Id go for sure.

[Rambler1]

I am going. should be good Will be there too

[GavinZac]

Big pity that its up in Derry as you would have had a packed ground, including some football-starved city fans. I assume the gate receipts will be shared?

[rambler14]

How are people travelling? me and a few others from the forum are stuck on which is the best option

[Claret & Blue]

if yee wanted yee could fly cork-dublin and dublin-derry.

www.aerarann.com (http://www.aerarann.com) or www.ryanair.com (http://www.ryanair.com) for cork-dublin

www.britishairways.com (http://www.britishairways.com) for dublin-derry

have a look anyway, surely beats a six or seven hour drive!!

I consulted the websites and I have to say the flights are all over the place timewise. Its €20 from Cork to Dublin and its €123.46 from Dublin to Derry.

[Claret & Blue]

The BA times are crap alright. Early morning or evening flights

There is a flight from Dublin with Aer Arann to Donegal Airport which is about 1 1/2 hrs to the Brandywell. If there was enough going, you could always hire a mini-bus.

Is there any news on the SC putting on a coach?

[depor]

im going but ill probably drive as i checked the times on sunday mornig and they're not great as ye have said. you could fly straight to city of derry airport on the day but the return flight wioll not return until the next day. the jouey according to google earth is 500km or 310 miles. thats a 5 or 6 hour drive, there wil be ****all traffic at night though(except traffic law of course):)maybe you could do it in 4.5 hours on they way back, pedal to the metal driving.

i didnt hear anything about a coach though.

[don ramo]

if i go ill be stayin over no way drivin back from derry after a game, was thinkin (if work agrees to it) go up sunday stay sunday and monday night make a weekend of it, id say it wouldnt cost much either,

[rambler14]

Looks like my chances in going took a shot in the arm. Got some tests in college wednesday so i'll have to study for them. I'd only go if someones drivin back striaght after.

[Claret & Blue]

If your staying over, have a look at the Great Southern Hotel on the banks of the River Foyle, very easy to get to.

[rambler14]

Is the game live on Setanta? I heard it was and that the club are having a "party" Monday.

[depor]

whats the story?? is it still on the monday 19th, as i heard hendo was trying to get it changed to the friday nor sunday which would make more sense.

That would suit me better. I can't go Monday. Tests!!!!!!!!!What are ya gonna do?

[depor]

dont miss the tests anyway. that would be too much of a loyal supporter. you will have to put your education first, i know its tempting to go to the match. luckily enough for me i never had to choose between ramblers and anything else 'important' because they just never clashed, otherwise ramblers would be picked every time.:D

im 95% certain of going anyway, so ill keep ya updated and let me know ur situation.
