As a Sligo Rovers supporter I wish Dundalk a happy return to the top division. I am old enough to remember that Dundalk FC were good friends to Sligo in the past and its great to see Dundalk back where they belong.
Look forward to visiting Oriel Park next season and it would be nice to Sligo and Dundalk back among the leaders next season. Enjoy your Christmas

The pitch surface will be replaced at a cost of €200,000 with Dundalk FC paying 25% and FieldTurf paying 75%.

Also the FAI are meeting with the club today to ask them to move games away from a Thursday night.

Going by that it seems that there's no actual set rule in place about matchdays. If that's the case Dundalk should just do what's best for them and stay with Thursdays.

Hopefully they do what is best for me and change to a Saturday evening. :D

I thought the estimated costs to get the pitch up to Premier standards was in the region of 600k ?

Why are FieldTurf paying 75% of the cost out of curiosity? Had they guaranteed it being up to Premier Division standard or something?.

When it was laid the pitch was just within specifications. However FIFA/UEFA changed the specifications which made the pitch failed. There must of been a clause in the contract stating a guarantee on the pitch. I don't know if we are getting the best artificial surface that there is or if it is being just brought within specifications but I would say the clubs proportion is to bring the surface well within specifications.

It is the same surface as Moscow as stated at the Sean Connor unveiling so it must be high spec.
