whats your chances of getin the game played in oriel exeikial? I read an interesting fact in one of the papers that Dundalk havent played in Europe in Oriel in twenty years.. In 1995 they played in united park and 2001 in tolka park...
It's hard to say what the odds are. It's a huge job and there is very little time. If there is any man who can make the impossible happen it's Gerry Matthews. The stadium engineering specialist's report will determine if it's feasible. If not, maybe we could play in the Showgrounds!!

Gerry Matthews, Dundalk CEO said
“While our Project Team are still hard at work on the feasibility and logistics of taking Oriel Park up to UEFA standard, it is not yet clear that the necessary work can be completed in the available time span. We have a passionate desire to hold the first home game in early July in Oriel Park; we will be in a better position to make a decision on both the time and cost issues in the next fortnight, when we have analysed the stadium engineers report. But right now, it’s time to check on the passports and get ready for Dundalk’s first European adventure since 2002!”
