QuoteAccording to the mirror the total prize money for this years cup is €250k. The winners prize of €150k will be 'significantly reduced'.
Better than nothing though.
Crazy that a team that plays in the final in 2010 might have started their qualifying season back in 2007.Originally Posted by micls

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Well when they won/qualified, they were under the impression that it would be starting at the usual time, february/march, so in that context it made sense.
Moving it to August screwed it up for them as now they have to either skip a year, or always be 15 months behind.Hard to tell a team who've qualified we're skipping a year though.
if Cork go belly up who will take their place? Im not tempting fate at all as I dont want them to go...
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Cork Hibernian? FC Cork? Cor....oh, you mean in the Setanta Cup?

Very complicated
Coleraine have qualified by virtue of losing the 07/08 Irish cup final to league champions Linfield. if they had played last season in the Setanta Cup probably wouldnt have done great as the rest of their season wasnt up to much but having made a few interesting signings recently may make a better go of it this time. The time lag between qualifying and playing may have actually done them a favour.
Anybody know roughly the prize-pool percentage brakedown for each stage of the competition?
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
With Cork City looking likely to go out of business, does this mean it goes back to 2 groups of 4 ?

Coleman for Ireland
I know the IL teams are sh!t but you'd need more than 4 players to beat them
People who were in it last year...was the draw live on tv or just put up on their website?

Dundalk could be thrown into it as winners of the first division? Just throwing it out there..
Up the Rowvers!
Cobh could be thrown into it as the team relegated to intermediate football.
Both as likely to happen, or as relevant...
No i just remember a while back there was a play-off between League cup winners and First division winners for a place in setanta cup.. so i was just wondering like..
Sure who else would you invite?
Up the Rowvers!
Why is everyone assuming a LOI team would take Corks place?
Spot on, a Irish league team would have as much right to take it, considering Cork earned their place by being the winners of the competition. I am sure there is an argument that the place should go to the IFA first.
Interesting question.
Perhaps the IL and LOI should each nominate a club to play in a two-leg qualifier (H & A), with the winner going through as the ninth team?
I assume there should be time (just) and it might create a little bit of interest as a "curtain raiser".
Mind you, if the IL club were the winner, how would it be received South of the border that there would be 6 NI clubs out of 9 in the competition (5 IL + DCFC)?
Cause we are better than you.

I am very surprised to see this being mentioned in the IT today. A bit excited, but also very wary on our behalf.In the event that the worst does come to pass, however, Bray may well replace Cork in the Setanta Cup on the basis of their league position at the end of last season while all of City’s results from the current league campaign would be expunged.

For how long?
Following the Marney affair and the arbitration crap etc between Pats, Shels and the league and the FAI, Setanta were very carefull when they setup the Setanta Cup.
I have seen a copy of the Setanta rules and they state that entry is by invitation only and they have the final decision on everything so in theory they can invite in whoever they want to replace Cork if they fold.
On the league table from last season Bray would get in, but I think commrecially they'd prefer to have Rovers in it.
Will be interesting to see what they decide to do!
