Good set of fixtures financially - Derry's first away game after promotion to start - hopefully a bumper crowd there. Dundalk, Pat's and Rovers the last three games - good chance of a 3-2 Rovers-style crowd at one of those games.

Curious set football-wise; you'd imagine there'd be a top five/bottom five split next season (Rovers, Sligo, Dundalk, Pat's and Derry top; us, Bohs, Fingal, Galway and Bray bottom) - on that basis, we start each round with three "easy" games out of four, and end with four "tough" games out of five. We'd want to be safe a few games out or we're in trouble.

Schumi - those date changes are to avoid international games.

This (http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2011/0214/premierdivision.html) indicates that for Fingal, read Drogheda and for Galway, read Monaghan.

Looks that way alright. http://foot.ie/threads/147136-Licences-2011?p=1453209&viewfull=1#post1453209
