I believe they're going to expand the pilot scheme introduced in the Cork City v Bray game. Home games will be against mystery opponents wearing the hosts' away kit, with bonus points awarded if the home side can guess the true identity of their opponents.

Have the licences being handed out yet? There can be no fixture list drawn up, until the licencing process is completed.

I'd never book that far in advance anyway with the dates of games being changed so frequently in this league. It would be nice to have an idea of weekends that are earmarked as good away trips though.

Can't fly directly from Cork to Derry or visa verse. Its a balls as it would be really handy. Although the long bus journeys and crates of warm beer is always fun. :ball:

So basically they don't know anything except that they all have summer holidays booked for the second week in June.

How long is the mid-season break likely to last?

Just 1 weekend of games by the looks of that response from the FAI.

Makes it fairly pointless then if that's the case. That's not a break at all imo.
