The longer it goes on the more Dundalk's cash reserves get depleted.

Derry also likely to keep things intact.

Derrys chairman was practically paying the wages anyway so makes little difference to them. There's not many clubs that'll be able to do the same.

Well, the UK government are paying 80% of workers wages, up to £2500 per month. Meanwhile clubs south of the border are expected to cover more or less everything currently. The government here should really start a similar scheme
Forgot that , Derry not missing a good chance to produce a bit of spin it seems.
Ah now that statement is from before that was announced so hardly Derry spinning it although obviously it is now a massive help.
I wonder with the rejigging of fixtures will they try keep as many the same dates as possible or will they just push everything back as much as possible.
If they try keep as many dates the same as possible you could end up with clubs having the same fixtures very close together. For example Rovers last home game was Dundalk and the next home game in that situation could well be Dundalk.
March 13th fixtures will now go to June 19th and so on, surely.
Cup weekends obviously remaining the same if the final date is unchanged.
Again, I'd say June 19th is being optimistic and if they were more confident about it they might have issued a revised fixture list?
It is optimistic and they have all but admitted that fact, with the something to aim to line. The elephant in the room is what happens if that date becomes no longer achievable to get the league back going.
Bohs announce they'll honour all contracts. Not that surprising considering they're probably at the lower end of the league for individual matchday income in the Premier division due to the high number or season tickets and memberships. The thing that could hurt them is the extended season though but European money should help with that.
Is that a compliment to Bohs RH? This covid situation is not just having an impact on society but on the old norms also!?
Not a compliment or a slight it's just a statement of fact (some of us are capable of doing that). Bohs sold a high percentage of their capacity as season tickets and membership, probably what you could call making the best of a bad situation.

Lets not get carried away here.
This is an emergency and a very,VERY fluid situation pertains in Ireland.Speculating on dates on LOI return is not an aim.Return to normal might be.
If the FAI abandons season 2020 so be it.No scorn on them should be attached.
On Mothers day we spoke to our Mums through skype and on FB time.Times we're living in,we have to embrace this mf'r convid and see it through despite all.
Good look to everyone.
Oh lighten up... It was a tongue in cheek comment - old emnities are very much put in context these days!
(I can be of use occasionally)

Nobody is getting carried away, it's pretty clear everyone is talking about the potential return date fully aware of the huge astrix beside it. We're not doctors or medical experts, we're random people on the Internet that want to talk about LOI so obviously that's what we're going to talk about here. Everyone knows that it's not the priority but you don't have to focus on the priority 24/7.
Financially though abandoning the league is just putting a bullet in every single club in the county, and I include Rovers and Dundalk in that. Might not kill those two but it would come very close at least. Abandoning a league at professional level never makes sense for anyone involved. It'll have to be finished in some form one way or another.

Potential lifeline for LOI clubs.

As Bohs have publicly stated that they will continue to pay staff will that mean that they wouldnt be eligible for government assistance as there are no job losses at the club? Should backtrack quickly before such legislation is passed and save a big chunk of their cash reserve!
Too late to backtrack , the revenue miss nothing
Dundalk committed to paying wages during C-19, although you would wonder if there is a limit if it escalates past June.
