Yeah yeah I know but we're being unusually proactive in announcing things this off season.

[Jofspring]

As far as I know the club will be heading off for a pre-season camp again this year. Possibly Scotland.

[avvenalaf]

Shams pre season camp on M50 roundabout.

I believe Harps start on the 12th.

If last year is anything to go by, and if Harps play well, we'll never hear the end of it on here.

[White Horse]

Pre-season? Richie Towell started his a month ago. Look out Keith Fahey ;)

Poor Sligo fans still cut up by the result.

[Neish]

And we will have to provide some idiot(In the pub) to tell you how Sligo are doing everything wrong and Harps everything right.

[atfconline]

Athlone pre-season starting January 18th.

Longford friendly brought forward a day to Friday February 7th.
We're away to Wexford in the Leinster Senior Cup on Friday February 14th, and away to Galway on February 22nd or 23rd.
There are a few other friendlies yet to be confirmed.

[nigel-harps1954]

Harps start on the Monday 13th, not the 12th. Apologies for the mistake.

[Charlie Darwin]

A two-month pre-season is farcical, but I suppose it's what happens when you're limited to 40-week contracts.

Twas longer for Harps last year. Started back strength and conditioning before Christmas last season.

[Jofspring]

Most players seem to be in the gym all the time now at this stage so bar matches being played a lot would be training all the time anyway.

Due to essential repairs to the Finn Park Pitch the friendly game against Sligo Rovers originally planned for 4th February has been re-scheduled for Saturday 15th February with a 4.00pm kick-off.

most clubs give players dietary and/or training advice for the off season. To be fair most players don't go mad either ( one year contracts focus the mind :o )

[gufcfan]

Galway FC starting pre-season training on the 13th.

[sligoman]

Sligo Rovers playing Ballinamallard United on 10th February at 7.30pm in Ferney Park. A testimonial match for one of their players, Leon Carters.

Is Sligo the nearest club to Ballinamallard?

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Is Sligo the nearest club to Ballinamallard?

I'd say Finn Harps are closer

[gufcfan]

More or less the same to both.

[redobit]

Ballinamallard are the closest club that Sligo Rovers can play competitively (not inc. Junior teams) . Its a bit closer than Harps but it takes as long cause the road is sh"te. In their off season Ive see Ballinamallard fans in the Showgrounds on a few occasions. Bit of a connection with them of late seeing as they have had half a team of ex-Rovers playing for them.

[nigel-harps1954]

Danny Keohane, Steve Feeney, Alvin Rouse and Liam Martin are ex-Sligo players with Ballinamallard. Not sure if there's any others.

[donnrua]

[sligoman]

Jason McCartney is also with them. Conor O'Grady was also with them for one season.

My bad, fixed now and I'll update the list with new scheduled matches. Btw, I noticed that only the Saints haven't had a friendly game last season, if I'm not mistaken. What with them now?
