Carrick were about 10 minutes from Cork City today when they were told the pitch was unplayable (Munster Senior Cup). Given the road conditions this is poor form indeed. I know the Carrick lads stopped several times on route awaiting news as to the status of the game. The were told at 1pm (kick off 2pm) that the game was off, shabby indeed. Why was this game not called off on Friday like all other games in Cork, and why o why did Leeds not get their pitch inspected before Carrick travelled. Will Leeds have to travel to Carrick now. Yes the Cork club took the necessary and correct steps !!!!!

I said earlier in week it would definately be off (thinking that the MSL should call it). Leeds pitch has a history of suffering from frozen pitch as where it is situated on north side of city. The roads were a disgrace at 9am this morning so ye should have been called then. The pitch itself is not the issue, it is the danger of getting there. Poor form from either Leeds or MSL, not sure who is to blame. From all other Cork Teams, apologies to Carrick Football Club.

Agree completely - the time to call this one was no later than yesterday morning.
Seems totally incorrect to have the Carrick team making the journey.
I think the Munster Senior Cup only gives one chance to play at home.

Hard to see why there was any urgency attempting to play this game. It's a 3rd round fixture and we haven't even played our 2nd round match yet.

I think Leeds will have to travel - our match with Rockmount was originally called off, then played in the 'Hall.

Carrick United were treated very shabbily by Leeds last weekend. More consideration should have been given to a team and supporters travelling such a distance to a game.
With the club, Carrick Utd., travelling again this weekend, to Broadford in Limerick, it is very hard to keep financing such journeys especially when a little bit of consideration and forward planning would have saved such unneeccessary expense last weekend.

Very Selfish from leeds. They knew if they didnt host this game on sunday that they would lose home advantage so they waited until the last minute to postpone it. I hope Carrick treat them like crap and stuff them when they visit them in a few weeks time.

**Long Throw** · 07/12/2010, 3:10 PM

Q: Why didnt Leeds book one of the All Weather pitches if they wanted the game to go ahead on Sunday, isn't Mayfield only a mile or two from their home ground ? Schoolboy teams in their National cup and teams in the FAI Junior Cup alweays seem to have an All Weather on standby,

**cufc champions** · 09/12/2010, 9:12 AM

let's just say leeds wil get a frosty reception when they come up to carrick :P

**j-burt** · 09/12/2010, 9:34 AM

I've played against carrick away before, I can tell ya one thing, Leeds are gonna wish they were playing castleview away or even up in everton park on a cold sunday morning when they see the reception they get down there... it aint a nice place to play. Huge advantage at home for carrick..on the other hand the last time I seen the pitch it was in great shape. good setup down there.

On the contrary, we are very obliging here. Thanks for compliment regarding pitch etc.

**cufc champions** · 10/12/2010, 3:26 PM

very obliging indeed the leeds contingent is more than welcome and hopefully they will stay for a few pints afterwards

My sources tell me you were down to the bare bones for the Hibs game last week but should still have enough to beat Leeds.
Nice touch on the match proceeds.

Yes we are missing a nice few with injuries but still will have a fairly strong team to start with, what are Leeds like, they seem to be going fairly good in 1st division.
