They're very long odds.

going by the dates on the bohs forum i assume it is going to return to a old format of second placed team in first division will play the winners of the eighth ninth placed premier team ..its a bit of a change..

Nearly right. I am fairly sure it will be Dundalk v Bohs on the opening day.

It's 2nd vs. 3rd in the first division and then the winners of that play the loser of the 8th vs. 9th game in the premier.

At this rate the fixture list is going to look like, A.N. OTHER v A.N. OTHER etc

Tallaght wont be ready in time for the season start - the floodlights are only due to be completed on 6th March. And then there will have to be a few weeks trials etc., before a League game can be played there.

Rovers first few 'home' games wll be in Tolka

So in the time-honoured Rovers tradition - their new ground will be ready in "three to four weeks"...

As you know those two, what are your other fixtures? If you don't know them, then someone who knows the above fixtures must.

With all due respect, don't care what your fixtures are, who are we playing?????????

Printed in the local evening paper. Presumably coming directly from the club.

Sure all clubs know themselves at this stage, it's just a case of publically releasing them to coincide with the licenses being granted.

Clubs don't know at this stage what the fixtures are - someone in the FAI may have give your local evening paper the first couple of fixtures, but the club's don't have the fixture list in their hands at of this moment in time.

OK fair enough.

I'd be fairly sure of its accuracy anyway. We'll see in about 1 hour and 50. :)

The bold bit is the key word.

The clubs are not supposed to know who they're playing until the fixtures are released. If they know who they're playing first, then they must also know the rest of the fiixtures.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've heard this stuff in previous years, and it's been wrong. Until the list is released, I'm treating all rumours as speculation.

I know that it's customary in other leagues to release the first couple of rounds to the clubs beforehand (they do this in the Conference and below - as we've known who Worcester would play in their first two games a few days before the rest of the list was released)

Big rumour Ive heard on quite good grounds is Dundalk at home to Bohs Fri 7.45 pm and maybe live on Setanta

Friday 7:45pm would tend to suggest an RT� game more than anything.
16/02/2009, 2:43 PM

No it would have to be 7:50 for RTE, for their extensive pre-match coverage.

Two people on our forum have said that the club got the fixtures last night and one of the has said our first three games are:

Drogs (h)
Bohs (a)
Cork (h)

As I said that's from an internet forum so obviously very much a rumour at the moment.
16/02/2009, 2:53 PM

All coming out now.Bray at home to Rovers Fri 7.45pm.

So now we have

Dundalk V Bohs
Bray V Rovers
Sligo V Cork

It is looking better and better for us v Dundalk/Pats first game of season!!

So that leaves the opening fixturers as
Dundalk-Bohs
Bray-Shams
Sligo-Cork
Derry-Drogs
Pats-Galway
Ive been told mervue are playing at home first day of the season so I would assume if the other 4 fixturers are true then Pats will be at home to Galway. All still speculation though at this stage.

Dundalk - Bohemians as the first match (and televised) has been doing the rounds for weeks now. Must mean it's not true then. :p

According to BR, we're away to Mervue first weekend.
16/02/2009, 3:58 PM
Black and White

Just thought I'd through my guess in:

Dundalk v Drawda
Rovers V Pats
Derry v Bohs
Sligo v Galway
Bray v Cork

or Same as above except

Bray v Bohs
Cork v Derry
