Pitch inspection at 10am tomorrow in Finn Park weather has being shocking all week
Torrential rain over night and a lot of flooding in Donegal. I know my back garden is underwater.
It's great to have summer football back!
No need to worry Cork fans...games are never called off in Finn Park
I'm sure Cork will love you for that. I'm sure they'll be on the way by then.Quote:

Team are travelling up today. Fans will be leaving Cork around that time I'd imagine.Quote:

Looks 1 million times better than the old one though.
Looks miles better but I'm worried that it being laid too late. These pitches need time to settle and there is still infill going on it today.Quote:

In time, it should be the same standard as the one in Abbotstown, but not sure what it will be like to play on tomorrow night.
Its looks rich green Vinnie and unlike last years terrible quality, it almost has the appearance of freshly cut grass!
They've left it late though, but the work guys have been tidying it up last few days, I think Dundalk have their first training session tonight or early tomorrow am.
How can it be better than the old one? Dundalk fans have been telling us for years that the Oriel pitch is perfect
Not looking good for the game in Finn Park tomorrow unless that new drainage system is really really good

Is that not an old photo?
Yeah that photo is from December 2015
And to think some people regard the LOI as a disorganised mess...
How's Markets' Field doing with all this wet rain?
Ah consider me fooled so apologies :shame:Quote:

That new surface looks great. Far more attractive than the previous one anyway.Quote:

Psst...any crisps or minerals yet?

Previous years I'd say the game would 100% be off after the amount of rain we've had up here since Monday.
Your opinion above is very wrong and bad.Quote:

Pitch in perfect condition no fear of that surface :)
Harps lads whats the weather like above? Inspection again at 4pm seems a bit odd if its already passed the early one?
It's to get inside Caulfield head you see.Quote:

Anyone know if the webcam streaming that was put in last year is still going for this year? If so where was the best place to watch games?
Athlone vs Waterford delayed until 8pm. Someone had to rush to pay the electricity bill
Any stream for the Dundalk game?
Limerick 1-0 Sligo 3 minutes!
Bohs 0-1 Derry 14 mins
Pats 0-1 bray 22mins
