Fixtures leaked early on league website. Removed now though.
Drogheda v Finn Harps first game in the First Division anyway. After that..I've no idea of fixtures for the rest of the clubs.

We apparently have Dundalk and Rovers back to back again this season. Great...
Derry seem to have the same problem

Derry away first three games would confirm the rumours about the Brandywell not being quite ready for mid-February.
Derry play the same teams we play in the exact same order.
Waterford Sligo Bohs Dundalk Shamrock Limerick
Their seventh game is vs Bray, it would make sense that our eighth game is vs Bray and theres vs Pats and then we play each other.
Pats play the following teams in the same pattern as both us and Derry
Waterford, Sligo and Bohs. They do not have Dundalk or Rovers among their first five fixtures (the image I saw only had those five), if Dundalk and Rovers are their next two then it will be interesting to see if that pattern repeats further among other clubs. It also gives Rovers a pretty strong advantage if they are playing every team directly after Dundalk play them. I suspect it won't carry into every team as I don't think you could make that work.
Bohs hosting Shamrock Rovers in the first game I'm hearing, oooooft!
Finally released proper..
Pat Fenlon seemingly has moved to Cabinteely..

If you finish second in the First Division, you've three weeks to wait on a competitive game. 3rd and 4th play each other in the playoff, but have a week off before playing their first leg game and their second leg game down for three days later, which makes no sense to me as they could have played the week after the end of the season and the following weekend again.
First Division playoff winner then has their home leg of the playoff final on a Monday night, which is a total balls.
I get that they want to leave the week ending 30th September free for cup matches, but you'd imagine it's unlikely that any FD club would be involved at that stage. In that case, maybe the matches could be brought forward?Quote:

First two games between Rovers and Cork are on Monday night's. That won't be good for either sides away attendance.
Should be good craic piling into the jodi for the 1st game of the season anyway.
Des kelly for me. Looking forward to it already. ....THE FOOTBALL IS BACK
With a limit of 800 tickets it means its never a guarantee to get a ticket. If not, it's into the jodi we go.
Buy a season ticket and you should get one
We play Limerick twice in May, the 4th and 21st. Has this happened anyone else?
There are 4 games on May 21 / 22. They should have been played on July 13 but have being moved forward ( I presume the 4 teams in Europe are being given a free weekend). All 4 games are a repeat of the fixtures on May 4th so everyone in the same boat apart from Bohs v Sligo which will be played in July.Quote:

Apparently, the Pat Fenlon Cabinteely thing was just a typo that RTE Sport has since amended, thought that would have been a strange move.
Horrible thought....Cabo playing Fenlon style ...ugh...
There will be a lot more than 3k, regardless of what the official attendance will say. And still there will be many left outside, like I was last year unfortunately.Quote:

That 4-2 was 3 days after we won the league. We completely changed our team. The fact that we went 2-0 up tells as much as the fact that we lost.Quote:

Here here, i have been in the Jodi as an away supporter never a problem, just people enjoying the game, but a few spacers from both manky mobs could ruin that.Quote:

True. I just meant the result would be fresh in the minds of at least those who were involved for both sides. Doesn't amount to all that much aside from the fact that Cork need to be wary and Pats know they are capable of picking up a good result based on it.Quote:

Just seen that the FAI have fixed a friendly away to Turkey on Friday 23rd March. I presume this will be an evening kick off which will clash with a full fixture list in the LOI.
LOI games never on the same time as Ireland, as always the fixtures will be moved to the Saturday. Shows lack of prior planning on the FAI’s part though and where the league is on the list of priorities....Quote:

1/2 Tickets to all of #Bohs' 2018 league games are now on sale online at http://tickets.bohemians.ie . https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f534.pnghttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/26ab.png
Please note online sales for our league opener against Shamrock Rovers on Friday February 16 are for home fans ONLY. Away fans will be denied entry to the Jodi Stand.
Away fans for this fixture must purchase tickets directly from Shamrock Rovers – their allocation for the Des Kelly Stand will be made available from Tallaght Stadium in the coming weeks.
Fair enough, if its a complete sell out.
If the stiles are open for walk ups, there will be Rovers fans on the home end, trust me.
I should add, the Rovers fans who do normally go in the home end are just there to watch the game. The windy pavement dancers are normally at the other end of the stand! :)
What the absolute max for Dalymout these days with only two sides open? For such a high profile match of Bobs v Rovers, I’ve been surprised in recent years the crowds for that fixture was just over 4K, maybe it’s a capacity or ticket restrictions thing.
It's definitely a capacity thing. I, along with a couple of hundred others, was unable to get tickets last year and was tuned away at the door at Dalyer coz it was sold out..Quote:
