League Cup?
Champions League really did overshadow this one!
Well, to Limerick fans, it probably is like their Champions League.
Was it that Liam Kearney scored and they didn't know whether to credit him with 2 or 1?
You don't say. Apparantly the attendance at TX was 292. Yikes.

Why was this game (Cork V Limerick 37) played tonight? Surely it could have been played on Monday. A crowd of 292!!
Cork are playing Sunday in the league.
Yes, it does. It was 2-0, then I edited my post a few minutes later(as it says there) when Cork scored again.

Why wasn't it played yesterday then (i.e. Monday 27th)...?
Monday 28th?
We had a game last Friday, and an A Championship game on Sunday. This game was scheduled to go ahead next Tuesday, but the league game against St Pats was moved to this Sunday and it was easiest to move the Limerick game back a week. If we spent all our time arranging our games around foreign fixtures we'd never get anything done.

What he said, why bother pandering to the Utd supporting Cork City fans (which obviously is quite a few of them)
We always have a low turnout in the first round of the League cup, there was zero publicity for this and yet they expected 1,000. 292 is obviously rubbish but then those staying away won't have missed much apart from good craic in the shed and Mick Devine's first concession to joining in with some dancing. Given our average attendance is circa 3000, it'd have to be 90% United fansI think people just weren't arsed. With season ticket sales up this year I know some people, including myself, will have been thinking "€15, for what?".
If I was to change anything, it would have been to try to get it played in Limerick. With receipts from 146 paying customers and about €100 in merch takings, we lost money tonight. Playing it up there would've seen both clubs make something.
As I've said repeatedly before, attendances to the League cup and to the Setanta Cup will continue to fall until something is done about both of them, preferably an All-Ireland League Cup.

booo hisssss! Cork for us was never a big darby or even thought about as a big game. Now back in the day Waterford, Sligo, Rovers etc there big games and always will be for us. Less of the slagging too can you remind me of when we last met?
True but you have to question these fans support when they just can't be bothered showing up. €15 is steep so maybe ye should have dropped the price but still..Given our average attendance is circa 3000, it'd have to be 90% United fans
We have the strongest, most consistant following in the league so its a bit odd to question that, given attendances of over 3000 for the likes of Harps. We're involved in 5 competitions this year so its a bit of a test on the ould purse strings, and the first to go will always be the LC. We couldn't drop the price as its an FAI competition with divided gate receipts and the FAI set the prices.

Fair enough, but still, the attendance is fairly shocking from a Cork City standpoint, I'm fully sure Cobh vs Limerick in the LC would have drawn a higher attendence
