Richmond must be a certainty not to be playable again at this stage. Pity, think 5pm on Saturday with no english premier league on would have seen a big crowd there.

You can play the animation to see what it will be like when your game is on.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
I can't see Pats going ahead. UCD maybe because it's a bit more elevated.
I had hope to go up to Dublin and take in the Pats v Bohs game tomorrow, would any of the Pats folk be able to give an opinion on the chances of it going ahead? It has dryed up here in the west with a strong wind blowing (which would help with drying out the pitch), but Inchicore has had problems with a waterlogged surface before, so it does not look good. Sad to see the Drogheda and Turkish friendly having to be called off.
I'd be shocked if our game v Derry was called off on Sunday, Turner's Cross pitch is raised above ground level and normally drains very well as surface water doesn't stick.
UCD v Dundalk inspection tomorrow lunch time,i presume thats 1pm.
Dundalk FC Trust @DundalkFCTrust29m
Pitch inspection at lunch time tomorrow at the Belfield Bowl @DundalkFC
I asked Sligo on Twitter and got this back.
Sligo Rovers @sligorovers17m
Yes. Pitch assessed and no inspection planned currently. Should be fine. We'll update again tomorrow.
@UCDAFC tweet to @OrielUpdates
UCD AFC @UCDAFC12m
@OrielUpdates pitch drains very well. We will check pitch at 10am and if inspection needed FAI will send out a ref, will keep you updated
In sports news the Ireland U21 game against Portugal has been moved from Tallaght Stadium to Oriel Park.
In weather get your kayaks out because ...
Now back to Sharon Ní Bheoláin with the main headlines ...
@AidanMcGuinness
Finn Park holding up nicely. All should be ok for tomorrow night.
There is pics but I don't know how to put them up here.
The only match defo off so far is Pats v Bohs.UCD V Dundalk inspect again @ 2.45 but match on at the mo.
Terrible pity about the Trabzonspor game. No chance of getting in on in Oriel?
"If you don't work harder I'll pull you off at halftime,"
“Crikey, at Manchester City all we get is an orange and a cup of tea,"
Ireland U21's playing a European championship game there on Monday night.
