Does anyone else think thsi competition should be scrapped? Not trying to be disrespectful but IMO it has very little appeal and costs clubs money in tmers of travel etc.

Maybe if they both reached the final.......................but I still doubt it!!
This was always going to be a disaster crowd-wise. With all due respect to Limerick they're not the greatest crowd pullers in the league, it's a school/work night, Season tickets are not valid, it's €15 in, Utd and Barca were on telly and it was freezing cold. (At least it wasn't raining!)
Did Limerick use up their 5% allocation BTW??
Who cares, we're a first division side playing away on a weekday in the league cup, not sure it matters if we did or we didn't. But for a club with aspirations like Cork City have pulling in a Monaghanesque attendence it just isn't good enough.

Are you for real? EVERYONE from Cobh is a Man U fan....
Still doesn't change the fact that the city Corkies turned their backs on the club in huge numbers last night. Jesus but you're all defensive, I don't see how there is any defence for a club that thinks as highly of itself as Cork does pulling that figure for any competitive game.
Where did I defend? Im simply saying you wouldnt have had more if it were Cobh....
Last night was obviously a pitiful attendance. But no one cares. ts the league cup it was too expensive and the CL semi was on.
Bad planning and management and the usual apathy towards the league cup. Not a surprise to anyone.
I had a laugh anyway...
Competitive? I wouldn't have called it that

Given that the attendance was less than 5% of the capacity I'm guessing you have trouble with maths??
We were probably 10% of the crowd.
Mick Devine is a good guy.Mick Devine's first concession to joining in with some dancing
We were in the St.Annes and during the first half at one stage one of the girls walked down to the wall to take a picture of the ground.
One of the lads shouted at Mick Devine: "Have some f***in manners Devine, the girl is taking a picture and you've your back to her."
Mick responded by turning around and posing for the picture.*
*This should also give people a fair indictation of the way the game was going.
Damn lousy form from the Corkies, playing all those good players.
