Considering Billy Dennehy's strong links with Rovers and the positive reaction of all supporters, Rovers visiting MH Park in preseason should be considered.

100% would love a trip down to Kerry.
Mind you if it was a cup semi final you might have to move it to Austin Stack park to accomadate the crowd. Im sure the Kerry GAA would be suppoertive :)

Someone on here said don't go to the Maldron. Oh how right they were. Around 8 staff behind the bar and they couldn't handle the crowd. In fairness the place was jointed.
Also they were showing a premier league game which was surprising with the Derry game being so important. I take it Rovers don't have much connection with the place.
The pint was OK when it did come.

Not giving a red card to the Shamrock R player yesterday was a terrible decision. It follows on from the tackle by the other player taken off at half time yesterday in the Q/F v Drogheda only getting a yellow. It seems the rules are not been applied equally, which is bad for the league going forward.
However Stephen Bradley is quoted is saying that the ref got it right with a yellow, and Colin Healy says you don't get 'those decision here' so no chance is likely.

Yeah, it's brutal. Usually have enough staff to deal with the crowd but no competency or interest in actually doing that.

They were and maybe still are a club sponsor so I don't get it. They'd do a roaring trade and their bar is big enough. Maybe they think it would put off their guests but they aren't exactly hosting foreign dignitaries.
