I'm going to go for Limerick, Shamrock Rovers, Sligo and Waterford to progress in this.
We're surely going to draw each other in the cup as well and go to a replayQuote:

I think Dundalk will win the EA Sports Cup this year. I dont fancy that trip to Jackman as its always a difficult one for us. Would have preferred Derry or Dundalk at home tbh for the fans and atmosphere but hey just delighted to be in the mix.
Don't be kidding us again. You tipped us to win up in Monaghan a couple of weeks back.Quote:

Would have preferred Rovers or Dundalk away or Sligo, Dundalk or Pats at home, try and make a few bob out of what is a fairly crummy cup*Quote:

*My attitude to the competition will of course change drastically should we reach the final!
Why Shannon ?Quote:

I reckon because we don't own a ground and have been playing A Championship/Womens games out there so I assume there's some sort of arrangement.Quote:

Where is Shannon? Can you private message me details of how to get to the ground?
It's good to be back.Quote:

Go to Limerick and follow the landing planes, when to locals talk in a strange Limerick/Belfast hybrid language your there!Quote:

Stop losing to us then. Under the "old" league system there would still have been 6 games, with a 50/50 chance of the only game less being away to Pats. You really think that one game is the reason your crowds are poor?Quote:

Dodge, my original post mentioned noting about losing to Pats, so how you came to that conclusion I don’t know. We are going to play ye 7 times this season – and speaking from experience of playing Cork 8 times last year – it affects the football because. Games can become predictable and fans will only get bored playing the same team that many times, which has to affect crowds. Going to football games can be expensive and Ive heard people say they won’t go this week cause they will be playing that team later in the season and go then instead – and the same goes for away games, I don’t know how many times Ive heard people say they will travel to the next away game against a certain team.
My overall point was that the premier league should be enlarged, to many games against the same opposition is making it stale I think.
Under the recent old system didn’t teams play each other 3 times (which was plenty I thought.).
And who said our crowds are poor. Considering were practically bottom and have only won 2 games all season having an average home league attendance of 2000 I think is fairly respectable.
yes, and now its 4. Thats a difference of ONE gameQuote:

Either you're happy with the crowds or you're not?Quote:

Crowds overall are crap. Playing teams 7 + times aint helping.
If you want to discuss it at the next game, no probs PM me.
You're not making sense now...
