Many of you making the trip to Ballybofey next week for the game against us on Saturday night?

With your win against Waterford United this will now be a top of the table clash

For anyone on facebook I've created an event for it https://www.facebook.com/events/132787083569815/

I will be at it for sure neish. I wasnt able to make it last season. There will be at least one bus- either a section o bus or supporters club bus, combination of either of them and or two of them but I think there will be a big interest in it with us startin well.

Excellent. Pub open right outside the ground now, we'll try work on getting something together for away fans with the pub. Hannigans Barca Bar is the name. Currently no sign on the outside of the pub, but it's directly beside the ground, many of you will know it already I'd imagine.

No I think thats Gallen's you thinking about its been closed a few years now. Hannigan's Barca Bar(previously called The Gallery) is on same side of the street a few doors up opposite where Gallen's used to be Here is the facebook page of the bar you can see the shed of Finn Park in the cover pic https://www.facebook.com/barcelona.bar.9?fref=ts

I've been told its defiantly 7:45pm kickoff. We always kicked off at 7:45pm on Saturdays but it said 8pm on website so that what I put on event when I created it. So to answer your question yes its 7:45pm

**Longfordian** · 20/03/2013, 9:39 AM

It's 7.45 on the FAI site.

**nigel-harps1954** · 20/03/2013, 10:16 AM

Most definitely 7:45pm. Looking forward to seeing ye all in Barca bar before the match.

**Bosco** · 20/03/2013, 7:57 PM

It seems the supporters bus isn't leaving until 5 on Saturday so I'd imagine its unlikely we'll make it to the pub before hand..

**De Town** · 20/03/2013, 10:52 PM

I've a feeling that 5 o'clock leaving time was because kickoff was at 8. Wouldn't be any harm leaving at 4.30 now the kickoff time has changed. Don't see the point in leaving it so tight for time for every away game, especially this one because it's on a Saturday.

**nigel-harps1954** · 20/03/2013, 11:30 PM

Christ, that's an awfully late leaving time. Pushing it very hard to make it for kick off. Might I suggest proposing a 4pm leaving time?

**Bosco** · 21/03/2013, 6:34 AM

Marty,maybe you could suggest to Liam to leave earlier??

**Martinho II** · 21/03/2013, 5:39 PM

Liam got back to me just now. He will run it past Kanes in the mornin and if it is feasible with them we will go at 4.30pm. I will get back to Bosco and let him know tmw mornin on the outcome so thanks for yer patience.

**outspoken** · 21/03/2013, 5:45 PM

Martinho when you hear the time we're leaving at can you post it up here for everyone travelling to see, thanks bud.

**Martinho II** · 22/03/2013, 9:41 AM

Mornin lads. I got the thumbs up from Liam. Bus now leavin at 4.30pm pls spread the word on twitter and facebook! thanks!

**Acornvilla** · 22/03/2013, 10:53 AM

Marty to the rescue!

**nigel-harps1954** · 22/03/2013, 3:44 PM

Weather is holding up here okay, but I'm hearing that the pitch is in pretty bad condition and it's touch and go whether it'll go ahead or not. Will keep you updated as I hear more.
