It was last year anyway.
I have w/e 13th November down for it in our programme
Am I correct in saying the promotion/relegation playoff is just one game at a neutral venue this year? Sure I read this somewhere a few months back but can't find the info anywhere now, and what is the date set for the game(s)
Tahnks in advance

Yeah the format appears to be the same as last season based on the fixture list released by the league at the start of the season (last page of the link below)

The playoff structure of 4 FD and 1 PD is good. The neutral venue fixtures is a bad idea. The playoffs are an opportunity for high profile home games, especially for the First Division clubs. The clubs can bring about change on this one.
If Galway or Waterford get to take on Finn Harps or UCD, 3 home games in the playoffs is a good LoI promotional activity on the field of play. No gimmicks required.

I’d give whoever came out of the first division the home game if it has to be one leg,end of the day it’s a second chance for the Premier division team after being crap all season…..
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Apart from anything else, it only potentially leads to a crap attendance.
The likes of Harps v Waterford in Longford won't have any huge crowd at it. Where the same two legged ties would have packed out both RSC and Finn Park.
It's just another poor decision from FAI.

Play off format is 2nd v 5th and 3rd v 4th over two legs
Winners play each other over one leg
Winner of that plays PD 9th over one leg
It would be better if play off semi finals were 1 leg with 2nd and 3rd place teams with home advantage as a reward for finishing higher. Then you could have the finals as 2 leg home and away games leading to bigger crowds than a one off game in neutral venue.
It's understandable that not everyone is in favour of it. It keeps more clubs actively involved and everyone knows the rules at the start of the season.
All rounds should be over 2 legs. If Waterford and/or Treaty host a semi-final and then a final, two home games will be a good opportunity for bumper crowds.
