Its a pity, but if Drogheda go down, I cant see them surviving
Chances are these days most will have smart phones with Data plans. Go to tallaght, download rte player and you can keep an eye on both games.
But these are Drogheda fans. Smart phones?Quote:

You never know maybe a good result could inspire builders to get back to work
Car troubles mean I've to rely on public transport to get to the match tonight. 7 hours on bus to get as far as Letterkenny, and a lift from there.
Half tempted to bring a bag of cans and pretend it's a bus full of supporters going to the game.
Dont forget the empty bottle. A Bus Eireann bus wont be pulling in every 10 minutes for a **** stop!Quote:

Is there not a bus from McGettigans to game, few scoops in McGettigans to chill after 7 hour bus journey and 20 minute bus to game
Congratulations to Limerick FC on avoiding automatic relegation. I hope they go on to retain their Premier Division status.
Away te f**k with that sort of nonsense!Quote:

Anyone know if there is radio coverage for tonites game?, what about Limerick Live 95FM or Donegal's Ocean FM and Highland Radio local radio sports coverage?
95 FM will be covering the first leg anyway.
Depends on how strict they want to be about licensing.Quote:

Limericks run of form since the start of August is impressive no matter who you are. They've gathered 23 of their 29 points since the 1st August, scoring 28 goals in 12 games since.
Since 1st August their record is - Pld 12 - W 7 - D 2 - L 3 - F 28 - A 24 - Pts 23
Prior to 1st August is was - Pld 21 - W 0 - D 6 - L 15 - F 16 - A 49 - Pts 49
The turnaround is remarkable and really underlines our tag as underdogs going into this play-off.
Highland Radio will be covering the game live with Declan Boyle as co-commentator for the night.Quote:

Great Stuff!
Should attract big Radio audiences for both stations from outside interest, when you see the interest about TV coverage on alot of forums.
Nice venue, good weather forecast for tonite, big potential crowd, has all the makings og great entertainment.
Another lost opportunity for the FAI to promote the league again!
13 could be a lucky number for the league! And sure didn't the previous Galway club get promoted by putting together a trilogy of dvd's?!! Harps could put together a 3D one or something like that to totally blow the big wigs off the head honchos in their suits!
I prefer Maxi's method.Quote:

Limerick will be a big test tonight, but would be great to get a half-decent result tonight.Quote:

We're taking a minibus down from Derry for Friday too, looking forward to it.
With the length of queue's outside market fields for tickets this afternoon not hard to know the harps are coming to town
If Harps can get passed the nerves etc and play the way the have all season they can get a result tonight
Good result tonight will result and massive numbers on Friday ! ! !
Stand sold out limited number of tickets available already and ticket office only opened 2hrs game will sell out by 5 o clock or less
There'll be an extra 200 or so spaces to sell in the away stand anyway after 6:15.Quote:

I arrived at 1:30 for both stand tickets and they were sold out. I reckon the rest of the away stand is nearly sold out at this stage and a lot of people buying terrace.
Harps at full strength...as expected
Limerick with a good few chances already, dominating by the sounds of it. But no goals.
One-nil. 25 yard strike from Shaun Kelly. Announced by 95 FM with a hearty "Wooooooo!"
Shaun Kelly scores. Couldn't happen to a nicer lad.
Harps with two great chances minutes after the goal. Knife edge stuff.
Limerick determined to let Harps back into it.Quote:

Limerick have had a load of chances but can't score a second. As they struggle to work the ball out of defence, 95FM man declares "This is the crap I keep talking about every week...." Radio lads also insist Harps should have had a penalty.
The Limerick Radio lads are tearing the hair out watching the game.
