any news if any game on tv tonight need my fix :confused:
just trying now to get a hold of anyone at Sligo Rovers to check if a pitch inspection has been done or is scheduled and if the game is on or off so I can whack something on the website.
Let's just say - it would be easier to get more than 4% out of the other Rovers than it is to get someone to answer the phone up there...
Our game away to Shels is off.
"yes tonight we go back a long long long long way, to 2004 in fact and to make it look really old we're grained the picture ha ha!"
If you would like to see any game from far far far away (but dont go back as far as the eighties and before that as we've prob taped over them with GAA league games :(
Still raining in Sligo. Bloody hope it isn't called off seeing as I traveled up from Dublin today for the match.
But I'd be hopefull of it going ahead.
Just spoken to a fella at the Showgrounds - and can now happily put this on the Bohemians club website:

After speaking to a Club Official at Sligo Rovers at 5:50pm this afternoon - we are happy to announce that the Sligo Rovers vs. Bohemians game in the eircom League of Ireland Premier Division DEFINITELY goes ahead as scheduled.
It's strange that the teams in the N.W Derry, Sligo and Harps) very seldom have games called off because of waterlogged pitches.
I don't think we have ever had one called off because of rain although we did have for snow twice I think.
Maybe it's because we are so used to having wet weather up here that our pitches must have better drainage systems. I know that Derry improved our years ago (early 90's) and since we have never had many problems since.
On the down side we have now 3 away games postponed, Pats twice and Cork. When they get played is anyones guess!
Finn Harps vs. Dundalk, last game of the season in 2006 was put back for 24 hours due to a waterlogged pitch. It being the last weekend of the season, the FAI insisted that it took place on the Sunday afternoon even though the pitch was still a swamp! We won 1-0 to pip Galway for a place in the infamous "promotion/relegation" playoff against Waterford.. :o
The league game between Cork City and Derry City, which was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch this afternoon, has been been rescheduled for Monday, September 8th at 7.45 pm.
