    Heard talk at our dinner the other weekend that they're trying to have as many derby fixtures as they can for the opening weekend. Sligo at home would be a decent one for us.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    If that is the plan then we could find ourselves playing Derry.

    Rovers V Bohs
    Dundalk v Drogs
    Cork v Limerick
    Galway v Sligo
    Pats V Wicklow FC

    Sligo at home would be nice but would'nt bet against the two league champions from last season up in Oriel clashing in first game of the season.

    Doubt Rovers-Bohs would open the season. Rovers-Pats maybe, the Fahey derby.

    Forgot about the Fahey factor for that game. I always thought league fixtures were computer generated. Or is that just in the more sophisticated Premiership?

    Derry Longford seems an anomaly in that list - surely Longford v Galway and Derry v Sligo more likely - keep the Louth and Munster games and then some combination of the 4 Dublin / Wicklow teams.

    Galway-Sligo probably makes more sense, with us playing Longford away. Longford, in theory, should get a decent crowd for their first home game.
    With the apathy around Derry at the minute, I can't see many travelling to Sligo for a "derby" that we don't really care about.

    Besides, these derby days usually create anomalies. 26th December is IL derby day, and Institute are at home to Warrenpoint.

    And I do hope they've taken account of the brother's email to our esteemed CEO (to which he received a reply), and ensure that the Good Friday match involving Derry is always played at the Brandywell. Our pubs will be open.
    Have you ever won the treble?

    The list I put up was going on what Longfordian said about trying to get as many derby games as possible. Connacht, Munster, Louth and Dublin/Wicklow derbies seemed the logical one with both Longford and Derry left to face one another. Anyways, all will be revealed tomorrow....can't wait!

    They can manipulate them if they want, but actually it's probably unlikely given the issues it would cause with the # of home and away games. For Kenny's first season at Dundalk, they switched round 5 or 6 to the opening day so Rovers went to Dundalk.

    Now that I think about it, though, Fahey is banned for the opening day.

    it would make more sense to have derby fixtures on mid week nights. Also opening games always get good crowds

    Nice easy one for us to start with!

    Interesting to see the Wicklow club new match time of Saturdays at 5.45PM.

    What's the reason for the change of time? It's an awful time for games if you ask me.

    Why can we never play at home the last game of the season? Why are Derry ever away on Good Friday (See you that weekend Brendy)?

    That aside, those are a painful set of fixtures for us, two midweek home games already and two more home games to be moved from Fridays for European fixtures (I don't understand why the teams in Europe aren't all fixed to play each other an even amount of home and away times those weeks, or better yet, schedule those games earlier in the season, you know they have to be moved!!!)

    Should get off to a nice handy 6 points from 6 start.

    How come Limerick are down for 7 o'clock ko until April then 7.45? Will MF have floodlights or not? If not surely it'll be dark before the game finishes at near 9!

    The native's aren't happy about it what so ever... New people now own the club, who they are i don't know, but have also completely changed our traditional crest, put our seasons ticket prices up and have now changed the day and time of our kick off for home games. I've been talking to a lot of people and they won't be renewing their season tickets. Worrying times ahead
