Derry away first up

Full fixture list (from here). Dublin City away last game - can't really ask for much better than that if it comes to it.

When did we last start a season at home?! I think it was 2000/01 against Kilkenny? 2005 - Shels away, 2004 - Bray away, 2003 - Bohs away, 2002/03 - Bohs away, 2001/02 - ??? away,

home twice: St. Pat's, Cork,Bray, Shels, Sligo and Longford.

the run-in looks good if we need it. ( to challenge the Inter-toto spot I mean).

Also St. Pat's on Paddy's Day. How many floating tourists is that worth?
I won't mind if the club give out free tickets to some marching band from Minnesota or somewhere.

Very difficult start to the season with Derry having played in the Setanta for a few weeks already. :(

2001/2 was Dundalk away I think. The one with Greg O'Dowd's first touch. :eek:

Yeah, meant to update that for Dundalk - looked it up afterwards.

Derry away isn't much different to Shels away first up, really...

It's a bit further away!

That wasn't the point you were making though, was it?

So last season in Belfield Park..... maybe:confused:

No, the Setanta Cup starts earlier this year so Derry will be more match fit than Shels were last year.

Ok so that's the first away defeat out of the way who's next again?

Can these by stickied, by the way?
