League Cup Semi Finals

Some info for those coming to the Mons game:


1. Parking is available at the Monaghan Retail Park on the right just past the turn off for Gortakeegan, (KFC sign visible from the road) and we would ask all fans to park there if possible and make the short walk across the road to the stadium.

2. The turnstiles will be open at 6.30pm as will the bar and as usual all fans are welcome in the bar. No alcohol is allowed to be consumed outside of the bar.

3. Prices: Adults €10, children under 16 €5. There will be no student or senior citizen rates available. If you are under 16 and look older, you will be requested to produce ID or pay full price.

4. All fans are requested to comply fully with the stewards.

Must say it's the first time going up to Sligo in quite a while not expecting to get anything from the game. Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't trust our players to be quite as up for it as the Sligo lads will be tomorrow night.

our capcity is 3000 i believe in line with our premier licence

Whats the capacity of that stand?

just checked 560

has anyone ever seen an fai toss of a coin.

There is also the chance of the coin landing on it's edge. In which case the final does not get played and the team with the heaviest defeat in the whole competition get awarded the cup.
Or there could be the imaginary coin toss like last year where Bohs knew a bigger crowd would turn up in the RSC so sacrificed home advantage for a bigger gate receipt.

Taxi for maseanjo!

Wexford put in temporary stands to cater for the the Derry contingent.

One thing is certain - if Monaghan go into the game with Dundalk with the same mindset as they had going into the Shels game on Friday, there will not be 22 players on the pitch at the end of the game!!

I reckon Dundalk will win 4or5 nil tonight

Yeah, 3 extra stands if I remember correctly!

Also remember if Mons do make it, this will be their first ever senior final.

However, I just have a feeling it will be us v Rovers in Oriel Pk, 2 visits in a row for them within 2 weeks next month.

Which would be nice..............

Can we at least have one thread that doesn't descend into Rovers v Rovers nonsense?

Would take a 1-0! Don't think it will be that easy, they will be well up for this. And remember the "bogey ground" etc

For anyone interested thie game will be on Dundalk FM

Is the ref from Dublin? This will most likely determine the answer to your question...

Sligo will be flying out of the traps I'd say, I'd be surprised if it's a full strength Rovers side.

Come on Mons...remember the spirit of late 2006...

No, but I have faith that they are experienced tossers.
