Cue the fire sale of the training ground to pay off debts and the installation of a magic plastic pitch....the rest as they say is history:confused:

So what you're saying is... Athlone are going to win the league in 10 years?

Yes just after we win 10 in a row

and by then Champions League group stage regulars and focusing on winning the competition so the domestic league will be just a distraction from the main focus!

The little 'confused' smiley at the end was for the very reason you mentioned - a new age thinking template for success - it's foolproof!! and an obvious progression from the old spend invisible model that worked wonders beforehand for so many clubs.

Rovers must have screwed up as usual, made it within five years and then hired Croly :(

Plastic pitch and crap away section are essential to the plan for sustainability - pitch prevents star players from togging out and support of closest rivals boycott away games and supporting their club at top of the table clashes, win win ingenious stuff to gain the edge! (sorry well worn and tiresome comment on Oriel at this stage)

Mark Quigley is set to miss Derry's game with Cork tomorrow due to illness: http://www.derrycityfc.net/2015/09/q...ers-cross-tie/

�Mark has to miss out, he was coming down a with a virus on Friday and because of that his energy levels were very depleted, since then he has seen the doctor and has been put on antibiotics, so I think this is a game too soon for him,� stated Hutton.

Pizza's landed the doctor in it. Antibiotics do nothing for viruses.

Fourth will be good enough for Europe if Dundalk or Cork win the cup. UEFA says so. If Dundalk, say, do the double beating Bray in the final the cup winners' European place goes back to the league, not to Bray.

If Dundalk win the league and the cup, does the Europa place not go to the runners up (if they haven't already qualified)?

Ufea changed rules so runners up in cup wont get european places, If dundalk do the double the european place goes to next in line from the league.

If its a Dundalk v Cork final we should be looking at an attandance of 30,000 plus. Anything else attandance will be luck to be over 20,000.

Last year attandance for final was 17,038

I would have put Derry ahaead of Cork if in the Cup Final in relation to potential attendance. 17,000 last year were from Derry!

Just looked this up:

In response to another request by the member associations, the UEFA Executive Committee agreed that the UEFA Club Competitions Committee should make the necessary regulatory changes to allow the best-placed non-qualified domestic championship club to enter the UEFA Europa League from the 2015/16 season, rather than the domestic cup runners-up, should the domestic cup winners also qualify for the UEFA Champions League via the final championship standings.

Looking for a Dundalk v Cork final it would be a great atmosphere plus with european football in the bag I can enjoy my overpriced Aviva pint in comfort.

its not the draw we want but it is the first time since 1972 that we meet Dundalk in the FAI Cup and our second ever meeting.In 1972 we met Dundalk in Longford Park and lost 3-0! I believe the programme from that game is hard to find and if anyone knows of any pointers regarding this send me a pm pls!

We have played well in Oriel this season and wouldnt mind getting a draw to bring Dundalk to Longford!

Ross Gaynor scored a worldy tonight apparently. If they have footage, it might be worth staying up for SR tonight.

It was an absolute worldly that's for sure. If it was scored in England it would be talked about for years. Bring on the semis

Just glad Cork and Dundalk were kept apart for the semis. The first final at the new Aviva was 36,000 and that between two well supported sides and the novelty of it. Cork-Dundalk has the potential to match that crowd.
I can see Bray bringing a decent support if they get the final, a short easy run up to the Aviva.
But Longford would really, really struggle.

Stop worrying about the crowd lads. Loads of things have to happen for it to reach 30k.

Just seen it there. Incredible technique. Paul Scholes scored a similar type of goal a few years ago and people still talk about it.

Some crackers scored in the LOI (and cup) this season. Comparable with any league.

Only 1,104 at the game.

Click to play footage of the goal here..some strike.

Oh don't worry, we have a bandwagon like no other. It just needs to be dusted off!

Great goal, but am I the only one that thought it came off his shin?

It couldn't have though I suppose, with the power of the shot.

BS! The 2012 final there were certainly a lot more Derry fans than Pats but not last year, it was almost 50-50.

Not unless something's changed this season. Last season's Derry-ShamR semi went to a replay. Loads of the semis have gone to replays in recent years

one replay for semis, and that can go to extra time/penalties

No replay for the final

If there's one thing that brings the people of Longford out its an FAI cup final. The county was deserted in 03 and 04 and if I remember correctly we brought more in 07 than cork did

We'd bring anywhere from 5-8k I'd wager, judging by all of our past finals. If half of those people are still alive/living in the country, of course.
