I know nothing about Bangor Celtic where are they based in Dublin and are they in the top flight of LSL? I know that its the first time we have met! its a tricky tie when you know nothing about opposition.

Not quite - but that does mean ye (like us) have three two-week gaps and one one-week gap between games.

Daft stuff.

We've eight games left, as opposed to your five. So we've three two-week breaks and four one-week breaks.
To illustrate, between 21st August and 6th October, we have three games.
Between 7th and 27th October, we have four games.

It's not great scheduling at all, considering we've had five midweek games this year.
Mind you, we do have a small squad, so could benefit from having those weeks off.

Didn't see ye had more games actually; soccerway just lists the next five on the main page, so I thought ye had the same as us!

Just as well we're not in a promotion chase (thanks Fran Gavin again for that brilliant idea...) or you'd be hard pressed trying to keep up some momentum with a game every other week.

They should probably play it in their new home.

It's still the same but they have some yellow tape up now!

Limerick/Harps confirmed for Saturday 26th. Extra time/penalties, etc.

They're one of about eight teams from around Dublin 8/10/12 in Senior Sunday.

Went to a lot of Bangor games a few years back when a mate of mine played for them they were a good set up then & seemed to have kept similar standards, I'd say they will give Longford a good game.

Do they still play in the Iveagh Grounds, if i remember correctly that pitch is a brilliant surface but very very wide since its inside a GAA pitch.

Crumlin have their own ground but have switched the match to the Iveagh grounds.Bangor may well have done the same?

**Seagull** · 21/08/2017, 5:43 PM

Bluebell- Cabo switched to Stradbrook.

Haven't a clue to be honest, a man and his dog is the most I've played in front of there. As far as i remember theres no terracing there so it'll just be a few row of people standing around the pitch so I doubt it can hold too many.
