The junketeers have gone back under their stones.

I wonder how many "Club Officials" were at Belfield last night? Not half as many as were in Nantes I'd say!

How is it further woe? Cork are doing well in the league and had a great European run, this is the first thing that's gone badly. You'd expect better from club sponsors.

Longford, St Pats and Bohs are the only ones who give a sh�te about that yoke. It's a waste of time if you ask me.

I'll put it this way to you.
Longford made it all the way to the final last year, what was the biggest crowd you got and what kind of national/international media exposure did you get? Need I say more!?!

**max power** · 29/07/2004, 1:10 PM

and you won what last season again ???

out of a population of 35,000 we got 2,500 which is about 8% of total pop of longford county....

how many are in cork city alone, 300,000....i don't know and your highest is 8,000....

per head in our region we don't do too badly, remember that you are the second largest city in the country and the largest county.

**Flynninio** · 29/07/2004, 1:15 PM

The population as of the last census for Cork City was 123,062

Also our crowd was limited to 8,000 for safety reasons.
There's no doubt we'd have sold more tickets if we had greater capacity.
No such problems exist in Longford.

You have however, proved me right by your figures when I said that the League Cup was only important to the likes of Longford.
For you, it seems, it was a great success to finish as runners-up last season.
Well done, I'm happy for you.

runners up, na we were 4th.

123,062, with 8,000 crowd hmmmmm about 7% of total population i would say. lower than us

**Flynninio** · 29/07/2004, 1:29 PM

cork is a city - longford is a town if any town in ireland was in a final the % of popoulation that would go to the game would be very high as its a community like buzz.bigger areas dont have that buzz as much look at dublin with all its clubs having small attendances and over a million population.

I thought you lost to St Pats in the final at Inchicore?

As I said, we were limited in how many people we could let in so the crowd can't be used to support your argument.
For you though, the draw of the League Cup was not sufficient to raise any capacity issues.

**max power** · 29/07/2004, 1:34 PM

your limited crowd so build your own ground, the best supported club in the country should be able to do that ????

longford is a gaa county ( as bad as it is ) so soccer is a second/third sport so there is competition in our small county too.

still 7% of total pop in cork, 8% in longford and we 20% of total pop in the ground

People actually want to live in Cork and companies actually want to locate there. Land isn't cheap like it is in the middle of nowhere around Longford.

Sport is far more competitive in Cork.
We've got teams who are successful in Hurling, G Football, Rugby, Basketball, Hockey, Athletics, Boxing, Martial Arts the list is endless.
Longford comes nowhere near.

I am getting an extra large grain of salt together, to digest the knowledge that all "Exiles" assembled in Lonnergans bar before the cup game, in order to support UCD and ensure that City were dumped out of the cup. God be with the days at Flower Lodge when Wiggington, Davenport and Morley wanted to win all before them. Also Turners cross with Tucker Allen & Co in full flow. Now all is peaceful and serene in the Douglas Area as City are only interested in the League and European Contests.

Interesting how cup competitions become meaningless for those clubs which have just been dumped out of them!

We were talking about the League Cup and I've always been of the opinion that it's a waste of time. Look on FAI.ie and find any decent information about this competition.

As for the FAI Challenge Cup (are they still calling it that?) I've also been critical of our approach to this over the last few years since we won it.
