I was thinking should Pats get into the group stages of the Europa league,it could make a right mess of their setanta cup sechdule .

If St Pats managed that feat, it would probably be in St Pats interest to pull out of the Setanta cup to help with the fixture load and the money will be small potatas in comparison to the Europa league. Although I can't see St Pats pulling it off.

Hope they decide this soon. I book flights to Dublin for the match Shamrock v Bohs, but that's likely to be called off if I see the scedule :-(

The fixtures that were announced were only provisional.

They couldn't be finalised because Pats and Derry were still in Europe. Pats are still in europe and some games have to be changed. Whether these gmes wnt ahead or not affected which game was on TV so the rest of the fixtures were affected.

It's a problem I'm sure they'd be delighted to face..! :D

Given the relative short notice compared to the last time and the lack of a Saturday flight from Belfast, I would think you will be lucky to see 100.

Then I'm going to the Louth derby instead. Don't know if that match is worth the word 'derby', but we will see.

That's grand.

For a second I thought Fenlon had arranged for the team to be teleported from Belfast to Sligo at huge cost.

Yeah, all that R&D to invent a teleporter might actually push Bohs over the edge.
