The Coin Toss

[brianw82]

Exactly, otherwise why are they employing a load of tossers at Abbotstown?

Maybe they opened a new fast food joint?

Just on the subject of this thread, it brings back memories of the time our former chairman attended a coin toss via telephone.

what occasion was that longfordian I assume it was Adrian Duncan?

[Longfordian]

It was indeed Adrian Duncan. Can't remember exactly what it was for now, maybe the toss for colours in the 2001 cup final. It was just amusing to think of someone not being able to see what side of the coin is showing but still "representing the club" at the toss.

[Mr A]

I suspect that might have been for the order of the matches in the playoff against us that time. I think the coin toss was made in Whitehall immediately after our last game against Dublin City.

That was a maaaaaaaaad day.

[Longfordian]

Could have been then alright, he was in charge at that time.

It wouldn't surprise me if he actually made the phone call from a public phone box on Longford's main street either

They clubs can come to an agreement if they like. Sometimes the smaller club agrees to play away to get half of the larger gate.

Exactly - which is why Bohs have agreed to go to Waterford!!!!

Dubs going to Waterford ? I believe its called missionary work

[eL Bettor]

Any idea why Bohs would agree to the game being played in Waterford?

Is it because there's a good chance the game will get a higher attendance in Waterford?

anybody?

anybody?

You're serious? There was a coin toss. Waterford won.

[pineapple stu]

I'm assuming mediahack's post above was a joke.

[Raheny Red]

anybody?

Yeah Bohs will be happy enough with that provided the WUFC 'part time' fans decide to show. For instance, when we got Derry away in the cup final a few years back Ollie was over the moon. Full house guaranteed.

The press release said "it was agreed following discussions" if I remember correctly.

John Delaney said it we allow Waterford home advantage for the league cup final then we wont get relgated so we agreed to play it in Waterford win win situation for both clubs

[John83]

If so, I stand corrected.

I remember something similar being said when w`ford were drawn at home v Cork in the fai cup a few years ago. Home fan turnout was shockingly low.

Bohs will bring 400-500 fans, willl Waterford have 1,000 at it?
Playing in Dalymount would probably attract 2,000- 2,500 and Bohs would get the bar takings, so no advantage to us unless we`re trying to keep Delaney sweet
