Couldn't agree more !! Heard ticket sales going very well , how many you reckon coming over from the daRk side ??
This is a game neither side can really afford to lose.Quote:

The only upside to not having a Dundalk game on a Friday.
There is a game on telly but I couldn't stomach watching Rovers two weeks in a row. ;)
Pitch inspection in Turners Cross at 1pm
Absolutely bucketing down here in Cork this morning. My street was practically flooded. Looks like its eased off, and games are rarely called off in TX, though conditions may not be great.
It's very bad down here alright. Stopped for a bit there, but lashing here again where I am. As far I remember, the last time a game was called off was in 2009, a setanta cup game against Sligo, very similar weather that day
The Turners Cross pitch looked very soft during the presidents cup game a couple of weeks ago. Parts of it cut up quite badly. Summer football eh.
Derry v Limerick sold out of tickets for home fans.
Official capacity is 1574 this season.
It's a pretty horrible pitch after a decent spell of a rain now.Quote:

Well it is an awful kip. Could be worse. Least you can go home afterwards:pQuote:

Be unfortunate if some games called off that are expecting big crowds. You want to build off the decent start to the season in terms of media exposure & having big games, keeps the momentum going.
I know it's a bit early but can any Sligo folk offer an opinion if the weather might affect tomorrow's game?
I've seen heavier rain down here and games going ahead. Unless it's torrential tomorrow I'd be optimistic it will go ahead. That's about all I'd be optimistic about regarding this game tbh.Quote:

The fans don't even come into the decision. We're taken for granted.Quote:
