So hardly expecting anything from this one are we? Nice to make Cork feel as at home as we possibly can though by giving them half of our own home section. After all they treated us so well down there.

Like every club any extra €15 you can get through the gate is needed, be it 40 more people or 400 more. If we can get in a few more quid this week and next weekend then the chance has to be taken. Not really a minnow move considering the popular side is usually half empty. It would be different if we were packing the popular side on a regular basis and putting out loads of home support.Quote:

Has to be brought into account too that fans that were banned and well known to be banned from Cork were in the ground the last day which Corks board knew full well and someone from within the club has said Cork have refused to send a list of people that are banned now these aren't people that have been banned for shouting something stupid like one of our fans are in Cork these are people banned for causing bother all over the country setting up organised fights and attacking rival fans including attacking Limerick fans with glass bottles previously. If there is trouble at this game its on our club imo if these lads start.
I'd have less of a problem with this if I felt our club would push for us to be accommodated in such a way I'd wager though the poor treatment of last time wasn't even brought up and if we are treated the exact same way next week nothing will be done again by our club while they bend over for the big boys. Like I said no hope Rovers, Bohs etc would have it happen if in the same situation. Small time attitude again.

Weirdly, we had a much larger audience than expected the last time Limerick were televised, so we'll plough on regardless.
I don't have any problem with it. Give them extra space, take their money.
I'd say a max of 40-50 limerick fans will be affected, going by the notice on the club website.
Mountain out of a molehill.
Your right its as little as someone posting two letters of a name. ;)Quote:

No matter what anyone says this arrangement suites Cork City, surely they gave us something for being so accommodating besides the few quid we'll make off them from ticket sales alone.
You'll get more tickets than you need next week. Not like you would be bringing 1,000 to Cork. Plenty of room in the St. Annes for all of you.Quote:

Your club will also look better as the game is on tv, and the stadium will be much more full as a result, which will hopefully encourage increased sponsorship, and for some casual/first time fans to be hooked on a partisan atmosphere.
By the way, the away end in Markets Field is awful, almost impossible for most fans to see the game. Could barely see Seanis goal earlier this season. I know the St. Annes isn't paradise but at least you can see the whole field.
What? Thats just stupid. You get 1,000 paying customers (actually I'm not sure if we have sold all 1,000 but I hope so), and considetring your average for the year is 1,538, that has to be a good thing. I see someone else mentioned that the security costs would be through the roof because of this, thats equally silly. Theres a large crowd traveling either way. Many would have tried to buy tickets for the home end, leading to more security issues. JKeepign us all in one or two areas makes us much easier to manage.Quote:

In total about 10 people are/have been banned this season. Banned from the Cross by the way doesn't mean banned all over the country. You should check out our forum, those individuals constantly give out about the club sending their details to other clubs, so it seems unlikely that we wouldn't pass that information onto any club that asked for it.Quote:

Last game in Cork your fans set a flare off under a crowd cover. They need to be handled carefully in case they hurt themselves or others!Quote:

Your club hides perverts.
More in your line to take your faux concern to the city forum and find out what's being done about that.
Well done on the three post streak tho. :good:
You got me it's me that is banned from the cross. Mad then that I was complaining about the treatment of our fans the last day. Don't bother actually reading everything before you comment works well.Quote:

Now now LTID that would be impossible as there is a vow of silence in place on that particular matter couldn't have something like that getting in the way of telling others how things should be done.Quote:

I'm not going to defend the actions of anyone. Plenty of idiotic behaviour from some city fans. The shels incident was six or so years ago though and it's been mostly quiet in recent years aside from flares and the likes. I'm not aware of the Limerick incident. As it happens I'm not a part of that crowd, would know a few to talk to from travelling to games.
But I get it. You'd prefer as few away fans as possible. Attitudes like yours are why clubs like Limerick have crowds of 1500. Before you jump on that comment I'm not exactly ecstatic that our own crowds aren't better but turning away fans so that a grassy bank can be made available for a few home fans who could otherwise be accommodated a few yards closer to the halfway line does nothing for your club or the league as a whole.
Three posts from me. Three replies too. None actually addressing any of my comments though
For my own part, I'm actually quite busy, and they are genuinely, hand on heart, all three of them, oozing with dribble and bluster and nonsense.Quote:

Still think you'd be better off taking your faux concern to the city forum though. :good:
Hope city's fans disdain for ex- Cork City players playing with Limerick extends beyond Ogbene tonight. They were tweets from some Cork City fans at the Turners X match which suggested more than a hint of racist intent.
On the other hand, because the two cities are so close to each other we should be wise to the fact that they are plenty of Cork people living in Limerick who are not going to have got an away ticket (only on sale in Cork). At the first match saw a father with kids being given abuse on the popular side because one of his kids cheered when Cork scored.
So giving Cork 3 or 4 or 5 times the amount of tickets ye are entitled to and giving ye a chance to possibly outnumber Limerick fans doesn't suit ye...... Jesus you're obviously having a drink or twoQuote:

Fantastic win lads :) what a night, well done to all involved, a massive result.
As well as the well noted ones Dave O'Connor and Dean Clarke were unreal.
Superb performance in front of the camera's. Hopefully they can push on or safety now and give Cork at rattle next week in turners cross.
Ogbene really showed his potential tonight as did Sadlier for Cork.
Buzzing :D
A brilliant effort from the entire team even allowing for one or two poor individual performances,O Connor and Hery outstanding in a great game with some fierce battles,wonder can we play in this ..neutral..venue every week.man of the match for me has to go to John Caulfield,since Maguires departure he has made some glaring errors of judgement and in making one in particular i want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank him..thank you John for taking that overweight sack of unprofessional rubbish of our hands AND playing him tonight.He must be an absolute embarassment to all associated with Cork City [surely they have 19s defender who could do the job].Super three points marshelled by Mcdonald ..a very good night.
Brilliant stuff. Everyone worked their ******** off, Tosi was unreal challenging for lost balls in the second half just to take the sting out of the defence. Some change from Dave O'Connor being called a "reject sh**bag" by the red head drummer to getting his name chanted off the field three weeks alter. Fine player when he was played in the right position. Not sure why a player forced out of the club got such a poor reception. I presume Paul O'Conor will get the same treatment in a few weeks.
The subs were brilliant, first time I think everyone in the ground agreed with the decisions. It was inspiring to see the team were well drilled to deal with Cork's high line, played some beautiful passes in to the space in the first half when their midfielders pressed. Their only tactic was to cross the ball and hack Ogbene. Nicely set up for next week.
Cotter was ****. Good sub made.birki was poor but did run about a lot. Crowe is good in that position. Ball retention by the fans on the popular side won the crowd battle
Sandwich boy there's a reason Robbie was forced out. When a player bets on his own team to lose do you expect the fans to give him a guard of honour lol
It is if that's what he did tonight...here you go Rodrigo, swan off there and chip the keeper
Tosi first goal scorer he had backed.
Super atmosphere created by the boys at the back of the stand. At one stage there was about 70 kids with them. Great to see.
Don't say that too loudly or sandwich boy will get upset. He's allergic to them.
Especially obsessed with the drummer. All the crowd responded well to the Blue Army singing. Made for a superb atmosphere.
