Athlone hosting Pats tomorrow at 3pm apparently but haven't seen either club mention anything

Dodge have you not heard that Athlone Town signed some official secrets act so they do not release any details at all....about anything. Or so their fans will say!

Not the worst policy in this league in fairness

Gonna guess that's at AIT?

Different rates are charged for teams involved from different levels(premier division/first division teams). Im told that it was �150 for each lino at our recent friendly with a local MDL Dundalk side, and �500 for the ref. Open to correction here as of course these things are prone to exaggeration.

Apparently if there's a Premier Division team involved at all then the match officials are paid at the highest rate, think it usually amounts to over 700 in total. If two non Premier Division teams play each other then it's less, can't remember exactly how much less.

Another Shels friendly cancelled. Is that 3 now? Bray, Fingal and now Bohs.

700. this has to be the least value for money ever

The only very recently announced friendly between Bohs and Shels on Tuesday has been cancelled... Something to do with the guards or something like that
