Oran Kearney says reaching another cup final has generated a buzz around Coleraine.
The Bannsiders won the Irish Cup two years ago when Kearney led to the team to major silverware with a 3-1 win over Cliftonville.
Kearney is back for his second spell as manager of the Showgrounds club, and they are back in another final.
On Saturday night they face Crusaders in the BetMcLean League Cup showpiece at Windsor Park.
"Since we reached this final back in December it has generated a buzz around the club and borough, so we are really looking forward to it," Kearney said.
"It has been well documented that winning the Irish Cup two years ago did so much for the area, and the amount of interest it generated for the area.
"And we are seeing that again probably to the same level for this final. And possibly the huge amount of people who had a great experience at the Irish Cup final are maybe jumping out and buying tickets for this one.
"We have ran out of our allocation of tickets at the club, and whatever there is left is online.
"It is great for us, and hopefully we bring a big crowd on a night and a huge performance with it."
Coleraine remain in contention for three trophies this season as the club is also riding high at the top of the NIFL Premiership and is into the quarter-finals of the Irish Cup.
"To be fair to the players they have been fantastic from the word go since I came back in," Kearney added.
"Now we are reaching the business part of the campaign and fighting on three fronts, but it is important we keep picking up points and results."
