Brandywell to host eircom League of Ireland Cup final
The final of the eircom League of Ireland Cup will be held in the Brandywell Stadium on Tuesday October 9th. The venue was decided in a draw between the two clubs participating in the final, Derry City and Bohemians.
The match will kick-off at 8pm and will be broadcast live on Setanta Sports.
Kom Igen, FCK...
There is a God......!!!!!!
YEEEESSSSSSS !
Thats the last two times now that Bohs have been in the League Cup final that we have lost the toss!!Grrrrr!!!!
Bohs Will Be Back!!!
Second time in-a-row that we've won the toss.
Hopefully third time in a row that we'll lift the trophy.......!
The only saving grace is that its on Setanta but I hate the fact that its a Tuesday night.Im sure this argument has been done to death but it really shows the importance the FAI attach to the competition that they put one of their showpiece finals on a Tuesday night!Second time in-a-row that we've won the toss.
Hopefully third time in a row that we'll lift the trophy.......!
I know the Derry fans will turn out in large numbers but it gives no consideration to travelling fans.
Bohs Will Be Back!!!
We brought 1,000+ to the League Cup Final in Belfield a few years ago. It was on Setanta and a Monday night game. No excuses.
As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
Exactly. And it's not as if a League Cup Final was a novelty for City fans, whilst it will be for Bohs. You haven't won the trophy in over 25 years, and I don't think you've even been in a final since then, so that's reason enough alone for a decent travelling support..
So no excuses. We'll see who the Big Club is on 9th October......
Longford in the league cup final under Farrelly.......Didnt end well though
Great stuff, hopefully we can use 11 men to win it this time instead of only 9 last season.
Champions league final is on a wed night,do you think Uefa dont rank this as an important event?
Thats a ridiculous comparison.Its not like CL games have a problem with small attendances where as the EL has.So how do we encourage a large attendance ?.......I know we will put it on a Tuesday night!!Genius!
To all the Derry fans saying there is no excuse for not travelling I want you all to come into my office and tell my boss that.Hes not that fond of giving time off for matches when you've no holidays left!!!
Bohs Will Be Back!!!
When you are a fan of a big team you keep your annual leave for possible finals.

The boss of a fan of a Big Club would understand.
In fact - the boss would probably be going to the game himself.....
I remember in the 80's and 90's before we had floodlights at the Brandywell - the schools in Derry would have to shut for the afternoon when we had mid-week games on (European matches, friendlies) as too many of the kids and teachers wanted to go.....
Unfortunately lads the big club religion has not spread as far as this office yet and like all major religions there are some doubters out there!!!!
Bohs Will Be Back!!!
No harm having a Cup Final midweek but one team having home advantage is a farce. Finals should be at neutral venues.
This game could have been held in Longford. Almost 6,000 seats which would do and about equidistant for both sets of fans.
