One article I read said he would be making the presentation at the end of the game,I'd imagine the FAI made sure he would be available before making any announcement.
Has it been mentioned if the President will be attending?

It's a good time to start while there's a president in office who's a LoI supporter.

Hope that Pats can get a decent crowd out for this; with the President supporting this game and also a charity element to it. With it being on a sunday afternoon I would expect a good number of Sligo fans to be there.
Ideally the demand from within the two teams would be strong enough to mean neutral support isn't needed. I suppose it depends on if the two clubs and their supporters take it seriously rather than just thinking it's a pre-season runaround. Richer doesn't hold that much, does it, around 4,000? Is there an actual trophy for this?
There is indeed a trophy, at least according to the news reports. Will that make much a difference though? I don't know how other leagues get teams/fans to take their super cups seriously.

It's just a pre-season game. We'll bring very few to it. Enough trips to the Eastern side of the country as it is. Think there was 3,200 at the game Pats won the league in. There won't be half that there fpr this game. If even that.
Remember we played in Shams in 94 in another version of this and they're being a small crowd at it

Am I missing something or has the Sligo - Dublin rail serivice been stopped?

Funnily enough, I don't think many of our fans travel by rail to games, ever. (Impossible to get back by train on same night, usually Fridays.) We have one or two bus companies who let you drink on the bus and there's one who strictly bans it. Most supporters (who live in Sligo) drive to away games or get the supporters' buses.
I get your point of making a day of it by train though - 2/3pm ko would have been handy.

Didn't realise the All Ireland Final was on in Manchester the same day so I have to revise my earlier statement that lucky to get 2000 and now say lucky to get 1200.
Dodge may be referring to the threatened strike?

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
