Tried with both Chrome and IE. What a joke from both clubs.

Bohs without missings, while Bray will be without Shane O'Neill. It will be interesting effect of Jason Byrne in the first competitive match in the second spell with Bohs (he scored 76 goals in 168 games for Bray). I expect a hard fought match, although bookies give a slight advantage to the home team. A new Bray coach, Alan Mathews was defeated 10 times in 13 games when his team played against the Gypsies.

Athlone may think opening up their ground for 100 or so fans is less cost effective than travelling to Inchicore. If I was to guess...

Sure don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

The "more" link doesn't work for me btw but thanks for the article.
I think Bohs are a decent bet at 11/10 or better

Bohs will be without Anto Murphy.

Bohemians 5:1 Bray

Spot on. Still think its a bit unfair on the few fans who will have to travel to inchicore to see the game now. All this hasnt been confirmed yet anyways and at the moment is just rumour.

Am I reading this correctly?
Athlone get a home draw against Pat's in the Leinster Senior Cup and they may decide to forego home advantage.
I'd like to hear the logic behind that thought process.
There have been some peculiar happenings down there over the close season!

Loads of teams have done it, particularly in the LSC.

They may see the LSC as a nuisance. They may feel it'll cost them more to have the home game than away game. maybe they want to give their pitch more rest.

Or it could just be a rumour and the game will be played in Athlone.
