Both teams can play at the same time! Imagine it 44 man mass murderball! You could install four goals and paint the pitch different colours.

Loads of people spotted it. Not a huge deal. Let the premier team play on Friday and the lower league team play on Thursday or Sunday. If thats not acceptable maybe the lower league side could use a grund more suited to that division, like Whitehall

I know your trying to be funny but what should and WILL happen is the team who own the lease will play there games on the Friday and the homeless will play when ever we let them.

By the way if loads of people noticed this how come it wasn't on the message board (I must have missed the thread)

I read about it on the Rovers MB the day the fixtures were announced. Maybe one of their fans will give you a link. ([i]Edit; Found it myself}

I didn't bother posting it here because it doesn't affect me one tiny little bit. I presume others who noticed it felt the same way

Thats fair enough, I wouldn't bother going on the rovers MB so i only noticed it when Mernock posted it on teh shelsweb.

As for the Bohs fans comment, dont be a ass all your life, The lease is still in Shels name (Well accolade actually) Not ossie, he is bank rolling us this season but hasn't bought the lease out yet, that wont happen ontill shesl have another ground to move into, why do you think he's bank rolling us.. cause if he doesn't and we fail to excist he wont get Tolka, he agreement with shels will be null and void.

I mentioned the clash of Shams v Waterford and The shels last game of the season about 4 days after the fixtures came out. Nobody seemed to think it was that much of a problem then. I didnt however realise they had made that many fixture mistakes.

I'm aware of the situation, it's called slagging....maybe your sense of humour crashed along with your club :rolleyes:

Why? In case you might see what happens when loyal, motivated and passionate fans save their club from extinction? You're right it would shame you if you had a look.

As for Shels owning the lease....... :D

They already experimented with that in the 2004 Cup Final. :mad:

Shels playing games on Thursdays might actually boost their gates with fans of other clubs going for an occasional novelty. I'd pop down to Tolka on a Thursday to whet my appetite for our Premier Division match on the Fridays.

Premier Division games take precedence over First Division games in the FAI Rulebook...

Quote:

The "Order of Precedence" of games shall be as follows:
(1) The FAI Senior Challenge Cup Competition;
(2) The FAI eircom League of Ireland Premier Division;
(3) The FAI eircom League of Ireland First Division;
(4) The FAI Intermediate Cup;
(5) The FAI Junior Cup;
(6) Affiliated Association Cup Competitions;
(7) Provincial Senior Leagues;
(8) The FAI Youth Challenge Cup Competitions;
(9) The FAI Youth Leagues (recognised divisions only)
(10) Amateur Leagues (recognised divisions only)
(11) All other Competitions of The Association.

So if there is a fixture clash - the higher placed competition takes preference

Great decision by the league.

"Rules are Rules!"

I post above purely to protect the integrity in the league and not for any selfsih reasons. I can't believe anybody would think I'd actually put having a dig at Shels ahead of the prosperity of this league.

It's a joke and could only happen in this league. Why cant shels play saturday or sunday?

If you think the crowds are going to be bad in the first playing on a thursday will make sure you could be down to CHF like "crowds".

I presume Shels were given the option of Sundays but chose Thursdays over them

I think you're being a bit harsh on the Shels fans, Dodge. I mean, it's easy to miss a small thing like a fixture clash when you have your hands full with trying to save your club.

I would have thought the club who were actually paying rent should have precedence over the one who weren't?
