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:

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:
