Who Do We Want In Our First Game And Why??

If it's a reverse of last year's fixtures as is being suggested, with Limerick taking the place of Mons, then these will be the first set of games:

Sligo Rovers v Shelbourne
Cork City v U.C.D.
Bray Wanderers v St. Patrick's Athletic
Shamrock Rovers v Drogheda United
Bohemians v Derry City
Dundalk v Limerick

Cork or Shamrock Rovers either home or away. Derry would be about the only away game I wouldn't want first because of the travel.

Waterford.

All about camera position.

Munster have played cider shield games infront of some shocking (admitedly bigger than we'll get) crowds.

Also love the implication that any other ground they pick would be a heaving sea of passion.

A 9/10ths empty Thomond will look a lot better than most.

Going off topic but is plan B to play in Jackman Park for the season?

I realize it's currently a dump but is developing that not an option?

This is Irish football we're talking.

THERE IS NO PLAN B.

Terryland would be more realistic than Jackman imo.

I presume if Munster are home, Limerick will be away that weekend, also any idea if Limerick will still play their home games on Friday nights

Mervue.

Salthill at home. The big one. Seriously though, I reckon Athlone at home would be a feisty one to start off with. Hopefully we find out some time before June 2014.

Drogheda at home would be nice. If it's an away game, Limerick away please

I don't have a particular preference to be honest, just looking forward to going back to games in March.

I would rather have Derry away in the summer as it is an overnighter and I would be more inclined to go to that in the summer when I would have more money for that trip.
