I hope so Martinho I'm cracking up here!

**Longfordian** · 12/02/2013, 7:52 AM

Yes that's confirmed on our site. That's the second time in recent years that Sligo have pulled out of coming to us if I remember correctly. I believe they wanted money to come last time around.

**L.T.F.C.** · 12/02/2013, 1:29 PM

They wanted a tonne didn't they?

**L.T.F.C.** · 12/02/2013, 2:10 PM

**Longfordian** · 12/02/2013, 6:14 PM

You can stick me down for a membership Marty and I'll give you a tenner when I see you next. Interesting news about the sponsorship announcement if that's a confirmed date.

**Pauro 76** · 12/02/2013, 8:10 PM

Are these confirmed? I'll need to stick them up on the website...

what do you mean by to be made in dublin, is der like some sort of press thing or what ??

**L.T.F.C.** · 12/02/2013, 11:42 PM

Why in Dublin? Some sort of press conference?

**Bosco** · 13/02/2013, 12:20 PM

The only info on it at the meeting on Monday was that it was an announcement in Dublin, they hadn't heard anything else. Presumably it is some sort of press conference..

**L.T.F.C.** · 13/02/2013, 12:57 PM

Cheers.

On a more immediate note, where is this pitch for the match on Saturday? The Bohs match has been moved to Blanchardstown IT on Saturday morning at 11.

**Bosco** · 13/02/2013, 1:28 PM

Ah for **** sake!The venues and times for these friendlies are a real pain in the arse...was looking forward to a trip to Dalymount...

**L.T.F.C.** · 13/02/2013, 1:48 PM

Exactly. Who the hell is deciding the times for these fixtures like?

**Longfordian** · 13/02/2013, 4:18 PM

It's the home club's call, though obviously Town could pull out if it didn't suit them. Reality is it probably works out more cost effective for both clubs to play it at that time. They'd probably have a training session scheduled for Saturday anyway. Bit annoying for the fans obviously but at least we'll have two home friendlies after that.

**L.T.F.C.** · 14/02/2013, 5:49 PM

So any ideas on where the pitch is?

**atfconline** · 14/02/2013, 9:21 PM

These were the directions given on the Drogheda forum ahead of our game against them there.

Directions to itb pitch...
Turn into IDA Business and College Park at the roundabout (the one with the pond and ducks) on Blanchardstown Rd North.
At next roundabout go right (into IDA park) through the security hut, barrier is always up.
Follow road to the very end, left at next roundabout, this brings you to the back of ITB.
Pitch is beside the car park.
.... and its pay and display up to 6pm
