http://www.droghedaunited.ie/ says it's off.

Yup but you only need to call a formal inspection if you think it is needed. We have spoken with Michael Hayes and told him that we will keep an eye on the situation and have an inspection if needed but at present all is fine.

Chairman and Secretary out for another look at the minute so will know better in a few mins.

Financial disaster.

I wonder will we press for it to be replayed midweek this week as we are down there again next week for the Cup game.

We could have a double header!

Hopefully Tg4 can get themselves to Sligo (or Harps...)

Sun still shining in Ballybofey, no doubts about the Harps game. At the minute, no live game on TV tonight and only two games for MNS on Monday.

Might finally put together decent highlights and analysis, rather than crap talk, but my money would be on RTE also postponing it.

the way we do things up here....if the game is cancelled itll be about 6pm when ref calls it off, and 7.30 before club annonces it, or just sends a steward over to Mooneys to tell whoever he can, and to tell the punters in Mooneys to text all their friends about it.

Could Mons -v- Fingal be the first 1st division game to be shown on MNS????

Still going ahead here. Chairman says there is no water on the pitch at all so getting a ref to inspect it would be a waste of time.

Is the Sligo match in danger off being called off? The Mons and Harps matches don't seem to be.

Any chance of our game being re-fixed as quickly as Limerick's was?

Waiting on the FAI to get back to us with confirmation of the date we have asked for.

Rain or no rain, the game is going ahead. No water on our pitch.

Raining in Sligo now, but it's not very heavy. Doesn't look like the game will be called off, but things could change.
