I dont mind but the muppets that are the FAI let Derry stage the game at 21.00 hours is beyond me.

I'd be doing cartwheels if our games started at that time. :)

Now, yous will be able to bring a decent support up there, whereas it would have been more difficult to do so without upsetting school/work commitments, playing at the normal time. So there will be no excuse if it isn't a sell-out. Hopefully, it will be popular, and won't be a one-off.

We're playing away on Tuesday night also, but most of our fans can't go to it, because of the 7.30ko. :mad:

I'd say the clubs and FAI had to bow to pressure from the police.

Halloween night is HUGE in Derry, and with the main fireworks display due at 8pm that night - and with thousands of extra people due into the city because of the Carnival - it could only have been pushed back.

Sligo supporters travelling to the game, should try and avoid coming into Derry via Strabane.

Try and come in directly from Donegal : Stranorlar - Manorcunningham - Newtowncunningham - Killea - Brandywell

From Dublin - cut off at Strabane and head via Lifford.

Head out towards Letterkenny from Lifford, but turn off that road after about 2 miles (turn right onto R236) towards St Johnston.

Then its through Carrigans and into Derry that way - will take you into Derry right at the Brandywell.

Its a bad oul' road - so maybe not that suitable for a bus.

If on a bus - head through Lifford and on towards Letterkenny - then take the main Letterkenny to Derry road (N13) through Manorcunningham, as above.

Probably adds about 10 miles to the journey, but much better road

What was the message, Lofty? A brown sliced and a packet of ciggies?

Nothing that exciting. Instructions from Lifford to the Brandywell. DCFC_1928 posted before me just.

Listen Lads, get up to Derry as early as you can, take the day off school, work or the dole and enjoy yourself. Dress up for the occaision too - it'll be mighty craic. I really hope you bring a load of people up because it will be a mental night!
