League of Ireland in Europe 2014

Is Derry's game going to be in Aberystwyth?

I thought most LoW grounds didn't meet UEFA Licencing, so they often played in Newtown or somewhere?

From what I was told this evening, Derrys game is set to go ahead in Aberystwyth. There's 1,002 seats, with Derry supposedly getting an allocation of 150. Season ticket holders are to be given priority with a potential ballot taking place if demand is high.

Aberystwyth had already sold most of the home tickets before the draw was ever made.

For something so perplexing, it's received strangely scant attention. It surely doesn't conform in the slightest with competition rules.

I believe there are some press looking into it.

It will go down to the fee vs viewing figures. I reckon Legia would ask for too much and RTE wont show it.
Really hope I'm wrong though. These are the games that showcase the league and get the barstoolers interested too.

Any dates for the games by the way. Want to stick it in the ol Diary

**pineapple stu** · 25/06/2014, 9:58 AM

Season-long calendar is here

Don't know when exact dates for Champions' League games get decided.

The away leg? It'll be on setanta if anything. The rights in Ireland won't cost too much as RTE won't have any interest.

More than likely they will have both legs. Polsat have the rights to it, well they did last year. If the worse comes to the worse Pats fans can watch it on the pub on foreign satellite if none of the local broadcasters are showing it.

The #bitored can confirm that kick-off for the home game will be 7pm on Thursday 10 July.

The away leg will kick-off at 6pm Lithanian time, 4pm Irish time, next Thursday 3 July.

Any word on our game against you that was scheduled for the 5th?

By uefa regulations Derry are entitled to 5% capacity plus they have the right to buy up to an additional 200 'top category' tickets for vip supporters/ sponsors etc. Season tickets could be classified as vip.

I wasn't but it has it's own faults such as easily waterlogging and cutting up during matches but sure it's grass so these things don't matter! I'm done talking about pitches now (until it's brought up in the next thread).

Sunday the 6th at 7pm

Rovers-Dundalk has been moved to Sunday July 13th to avoid a clash with Dundalk's Europa League game.

I'm assuming this'll go ahead even if Dundalk progress. If Dundalk do progress they'd be home to Esch Thursday 10, away to Rovers Sunday 13, away to Hajduk Thursday 17. Not ideal but not the worst.
