I was planning on making the trip to Derry this season from Dublin but the date the first away game is on is falling on my weekend off and I'll be in Cork.

Anyone reckon it'd be a good idea to get a bus organised to travel up for an overnight trip???

The game is falling on your weekend off, so you're going to be in Cork from where you want to travel to Derry overnight???

Why not just spend your weekend off in Derry?

I reckon that this would be the best one to go for ... with pubs and the like being considered ..... all though Athlone is meant ot be good crack aswell from what i hear !!

If this develops in to something ... then it just might be a week end to remember !!

Agreed. This would be good if we could stop off in Galway, though not necessarily for a match.

Athlone? Are ya gone mad A Face, i hear its one of the more danderous places to out for a night.

Monaghan Vs UCD. Hmm, we have delighted in their relegation, so why would anyone want to travel to monaghan to see them and their pitiful fans????

Galway on the Friday and Derry on Saturday sounds like the job.
It could be an excellent weekend!

That's the thing alright. It's only two weeks after Longford and it'll be an expensive trip.
