Waterford FC Thread

This smacks of a bit of desperation and I don't think it will have a major impact on the attendance.

People, for various reasons, some well documented are staying away. The performances on the pitch are not helping and I don't think this will draw the crowds back, weather and Rugby World cup game on isn't going to help either.

I'm a season ticket holder and to be honest I've missed a few games lately,and for the first time in a long tome, I'll be considering whether to get one next season.

The owners/club did not deliver on the promises made after last seasons play off, that we would would have a team that will win promotion.

They might go up via the play-offs, but as we saw in the cup game, there's a massive gulf between the premier and the 1st division.

Turned it off at half time as I had to hang up washing which to be honest was more exciting it was like listening to pot black those commentators and that performance.

At least you didn't pay for it.

I'd rather they shoot lights out in play offs than now...can they switch it on though? If we couldn't do it with Junior and Phoenix last year I'd fear for our chances over a four game run

Good 3 0 win away to Longford last night and Ronan Coughlan is back so hopefully things are starting to turn for us after a difficult month.

The season is over lads. As posted 12 months ago, there is still players at the club who are not up to the standard whatsoever but there still on the books, local players also. If we do get through and meet Cork in the final, we’ve already seen this season when we meet them, how far ahead they are compared to us.

As for management, this is Rennie’s 4th stint at either manager or assistant manager at the club. He wasn’t good enough the last 3 times and he certainly isn’t good enough now. Its clear as day, the players are limited in their ability but so are Long and Rennie.  

The whole situation with Fleetwood and the chairman is toxic. There are rumours floating about that the club is up for sale. The club is a basket case of crooks and frauds.

Before a ball is kicked it'll always be difficult for a team in a lower league to beat a team playing in a higher league. Cork have been playing against better opposition all year and presumably have a higher budget (although that might not be the case).

I don't think your assessment of Rennie is fair. He's very highly regarded and Derry were sorry to lose him when he went home to Waterford, and he's also been involved in the Ireland set ups.

I do agree with you in terms of the Fleetwood situation. In overall terms the club is probably on a stronger footing from when he bought it, but you'd have to have concerns about the nature of his conviction and its potential impact on the club.

Do away goals count in this format?

Just looking at the ticket web page and loads of tickets still available, early yet, but whoever the genius was that decided to have the game at 3pm on a Saturday needs a good kick. Surely the normal 7.45pm Friday night would have been better.

That's also possible, and a likely reason

Turners x it is .
