Could have done with 1 all premier tie to have a stand out fixture. But happy enough that this should mean we don't have any teams getting an easy ride to a semi final like we have in recent seasons.
10/11 of the best teams in the country should all make their way into the final 16. Which will mean we're set for some great cup ties throughout the rest of the competition.
Is there a game from this round scheduled for RTE? Hard to look past the Dundalk v Sligo game if there is
From what I've seen online there is no TV game scheduled for this round.Quote:

The 2026 competition will then see RTÉ broadcast from the Second Round all of the way to the Final including the Third Round, two Quarter-Finals, both Semi-Finals and the Final.
From Rovers point of view our best draw in years, Was it last year we were playing Bohs away on the Sunday in between rounds in Europe.
Not saying Wexford will be a definite win but at least its at home and agaisnt a team we SHOULD be beating.
Bray v Wayside celtic is a local derby with plenty of pllayers who will know each other well.
Just had a look at the Wayside team and bar 1 lad that played for Bray’s under 15s in 2018, they’ve no players with any LOI underage experience. The average age of their team is late 20s compared to Bray’s team made up of lads in their early 20s or teenagers. I’d be surprised if any of the players on opposing teams knew each other at all.Quote:

Wayside are one of the closest teams to cabo, they are a brilliant old club with fantastic facilities . Senegal are training ipnthere apparently
Assuming you were on fai connect that was their Major Saturday team you may have been looking at.Quote:

A fiver? Is that correct? That's great value even for Salthill, they have no spectator facilities.
I hope there's a few upsets. Castlebar probably have the best chance of causing a shock because they're mid season
Away end in Oriel €15Quote:

Yeah read somewhere that Castlebar won a trophy recently so no doubt it will be a tough game considering their boss is ex LTFC ,Bohs and Athlone Town player Stephen Gavin.Quote:

I suppose LOI TV will have all the games covered for league clubs with home fixtures!Quote:

2025 FAI Cup 2nd Non-League Clubs Home Venues.
Fairview Rangers (Limerick) The Fairgreen capacity 1,500
Salthill Devon (Galway) Drom Soccer Park capacity 2,000
Bangor Celtic (Dublin) Iveagh Grounds capacity 500
Castlebar Celtic (Mayo) Celtic Park capacity 1,500
Killester Donnycarney (Dublin) Hadden Park capacity 500
There are some lovely grounds for League fans to visit in the 2nd round FAI Cup fixtures over the weekend. I reckon The Fairgreen in Limerick is one of the best, but all the home clubs have fine facilities available to all the visiting fans.
That's what's great about the FAI Cup! :)
See Iveagh Grounds on the list are St James Gate still playing there?
seriously pal are you getting Grok to make these lists for you or something?
Killester Donnycarney v Bohs is at Dalymount. (And it's €15 in, not €10. )
Bangor Celtic v Cobh is at Pearse Park, not the Iveagh Grounds.
No they don't!Quote:

No worries pal :)
As I was referring to the home non-league clubs in the FAI Cup you will find if you check out the following that Fairview Rangers (Limerick) The Fairgreen, Salthill Devon (Galway) Drom Soccer Park, Bangor Celtic (Dublin) Pearse Park & Castlebar Celtic (Mayo) Celtic Park do offer all the required facilities and more.Quote:

I think you are getting all worked up as usual and have very negative comments and opinions. Hope you are not travelling to one of these fixtures as you might be surprised at what is available and possible on the day.Quote:

As a Junior soccer centre, that seems excellent.
But never mind how many people you could fit in physically, when it comes to staging Intermediate, never mind Senior, events, imo it doesn't come close to meeting the minimum (stands, cover, facilities, turnstiles, parking, accessibility etc)
It's a fine facility but is primarily a training one. Not sure what Salthill's plan is for the third tier as it's probably not really suitable for hosting senior football on a regular basis.Quote:

Have a look on Google Maps (satellite view) at these coordinates: 53.293608,-9.133287
EalingGreen gets it. Read his post againQuote:
