Id say Bucko is delighted to get that win, it was a great free kick to win it particularly after that miss by Cawley I think it was.

Cawley missed 2 from very short range.

Cobh bombing along 3-0 at half time.

Yeah really enjoyable game. Buckley beginning to get them to start passing the ball a lot more. Interesting to see how we go against Dundalk on Saturday.

Stepped down. The Mirror can’t even get a sacking right.

Id prefer if they decided on Bray and there isn't much in it distance wise. The Belfield bowl is 8km away from Stradbrook Road and the Carlisle Ground is 11km so that wont be a deciding factor , id say it will depended on what deal financially works for them. Their underage set up is closer to Bray in Kilbogget Park not sure how much if any influence that would have.

Bray is actually closer to kilbogget park where the club is based. No brainer for me.

Rovers 2 very like Rovers B under Colin Hawkins. Growing into the league and will take some scalps before the end of the season.

What are the requirements for grounds in the Premier. A stand I presume. Would have to work with Rock if they want to stay in Stradbrook. Need to build their support base especially amongst their young members.

There's a lack of turnstiles, an away area, seating, and pretty much any facilities at all.

They could put up a decent sized pop up stand no problem, but that only solves one problem.

Rovers II are a far better outfit than the 2014 set up

The car park is absolutely tiny, the access in to the stadium would be a nightmare, it simply wouldn't work.

Dalymount entrance poor from main entrance. Longford have by far the best facilities in terms of carparking etc. Athlone next but neither of these have a huge number of turnstiles. If they go up it would be great if they could stay within the areaand hopefully significantly improve their crowds. Early days yet.
