I wonder how this became a Rovers thing ?
Agree, would have preferred UCD to have been away, and would have introduced a bit of extra cup romance, while also a little bit of cup jeopardy. Think we win that one comfortably, even with Kerrigan departedQuote:

Some people say the Saturday League is light years ahead of the Sunday one. But in reality, you're only talking 24hrs.Quote:

Rovers fans have sung "She Wore a Green Ribbon" specifically for the FAI Cup for all the 40 years plus that I've been going. I think it's probably the oldest song still sung at Rovers.Quote:

You'd think, but if they were looking to make it awkward for Pike Rovers, Friday evening would be ideal for them.Quote:

Bonagee will try to avoid a clash with Harps anyway. Lot of Bonagee officials, and even players, would be regulars in Finn Park.
As Joey says, Sunday 2pm would be best guess but they might go for Saturday evening either.

Derry-Oliver Bond moved to the Saturday at 5pm.
Presumably it's to aid their lads who'd need a half day otherwise.
We'd rarely have a Saturday home game, especially in the afternoon. Can't see a large crowd for this.
Bray vs Shels has already been moved back to their regular 7.45pm kick off on Friday 29th per Gardai request
Would they be expecting bother? If Friday better than Sunday afternoon?Quote:

Bray have banned them all hence the flare thrown over the stand at the last match so hopefully they all just feck off and find something else to do. Your not talking about normal people here youbare talking about lads getting boozed up and inhaling gas canisters, no reasoning with scum.
I think there is some sort of festivities in Bray that bank holiday weekend during afternoons so the guards maybe hedging their bets that Friday night is the least worst of the two options if some of Bray's new 'fans' kick up hassle with their first game of the season with a decent away contingent from DublinQuote:

Unusual to have two big events in successive weeks
The Shels statement confirmed it was moved due to several other events happening in the vicinity on the Sunday, only thing I can find from googling that day would be a Seafront fun fair
Derry v Oliver Bonds changed to Saturday at 5pm at Oliver Bonds request,a wee North west FAI cup weekend there now for ground hoppers!
Strange. That funfair is a regular thing in the summer. Don't think it's caused a game to be rearranged before (though wouldn't have been paying too close attention in fairness)Quote:

That'd be some FAI Cup tour of the North-West.
Would be a great crowd - though half what they had for their league game earlier this season.Quote:

Have there ever been security issues at Cobh v Cork games ? Seems a bit daft for the Gardai to be treating it as a possible flashpoint, no ?Quote:

There were one or two minor issues but nothing substantial I believeQuote:

Must be expecting a decent turnout. It’s a small ground at the Red Cow but would be capable a getting a few hundred in.Quote:

Bray requiring everyone to have ID to get into their game against Shels,gone down really well of course!!
But that's just an issue with a crowd, not football. The same would happen if it was a gig etc. The 4pm kick-off is apparently due to security concerns - not concerns over people pishing in hedges etc.Quote:
