it feels like the season is over, hence no-one really cares about the devalued cup
Is it just me or is there zero build up/excitment/Hype surrounding the FAI Cup final this year?
I assume the FAI have other things on their mind like finding some 3rd rate Englishman for the national team or who's round it is first in their junkett to South Africa than to be worrying about something as trivial as the National Cup Final

I thought it was all off, cos you guys weren't happy about the dosh.
Hope the Longford lads can summon up one last effort, otherwise it will be a total non-event.
Less Whining
Less Moaning
What are YOU doing to make it better?
Given that the clubs arent getting a cut of the gate receipts I cant see the clubs putting much money into creating a buzz, and getting a bumper crowd.
Id say It'l be a very poor crowd

Personally I wanted to see the place plastered for the final, I see it as a launch pad for next season and our bright new start.
However I cant see Arkaga, putting as much money into something when they are getting less return. Maybe they'll surprise me in the next couple of weeks and launch a big initiative when they get in the cup final jersey. i dont hold out much hope though.
But they're likely to make more money than they would have last year aren't they?However I cant see Arkaga, putting as much money into something when they are getting less return.

3 week break to the FAI is beyond a joke. The excuses from the FAI were pitiful & will definitely affect the hype. Playing the FAI Cup final in December with 3/4 of the ground uncovered will do nothing to attract a crowd.
The FAI rarely promote the final so this year is no exception.
What?
DO you know what the prizemoney was supposed to be before crowd and gate receipts? Cos I presume City and Longford do and believe that it on top of tv and gate receipts would be higher than what the FAI are 'guaranteeing' them now.
Whatever about us but somehow I doubt very much Longford are fighting because the FAI changed the rules to give them more money.....
Anyway could this not be ept to the other thread?
How many fans will Longford bring? Really hope it's a good turn out. I'm looking forward to it especially if it's anything like last years! And to see if RDS works as a venue...
tickets are selling pretty well in longford already! I would say that we will get slightly travel support aka waterford three years ago!. guess we would say 4-5 k
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

Everyone needs something to believe in, I believe I'll have another beer.
I'd say that people will be fairly scattered.
