I don't know if it's just on my machine, but that appears to be a blank page ?
I don't think the Kilbarrack match, provisionally scheduled for a week tomorrow, has been confirmed yet. Not sure about St. Michael's. Nine days since the initial announcement.
No, nowt to see here either!

Do all the Junior clubs receive FAI inspections to allow the use of their own ground for home fixtures?
I have read all non-league venues have to provide various safety standards in place such as, pitch security, changing facilities, safe ground access, toilet and catering facilities and the rest!
Anyone from the above clubs aware of any problems!
They need to get a check from the Gards as well I think. It is probably a massive hassle, especially if you're trying to host it in a less than ideal venue without a track record. Either way Kilbarrack would really want to be announcing details soon. The game is in a week.
Kilbarrack v Harps confirmed for Greendale Astro. Not listed for streaming on LOITV so could be interesting if a large crowd turns up that they can't accommodate.

There is definitely a list of criteria for Intermediate and Junior clubs to host FAI Cup matches at this stage of the competition especially if they are hosting LOI teams. I remember Sheriff having to add some extras for hosting Athlone in the Clontarf astro cage a few years back
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
Pats pretty much sold out their 550 tickets for Longford away on Sunday,cracking support tbf....
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Initial allocation was only 300 before being increased. They’re looking for another increase to that again too which I can’t see Longford turning down financially, particularly considering it looks like there’ll be more pats fans in the ground than home fans as it is already. Mad stuff really for 6pm on a Sunday in the first round of the cup, great to see

Is at least 500 enough? Looking for more too
Theres a prize for bringing the most fans you know
I've watched matches here and have trained on it with my kids team. Have no idea how they would fit 1000 people there. There is a small flat standing area that runs at the side of the pitch. Maybe they'll put some small terracing on that. People can watch from outside as well, but still can't fathom 1000.
Minimum required for the cup is 500 people. Would presume it'll hold that. Supposed to be space for 100 Harps fans in an away area so they're not expecting a huge home support anyway.

Much appreciated, yes. I'm sure ye'll get as many tickets as you want. I guess it helps that Pats are going well.Is at least 500 enough? Looking for more too
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Only reason I can see de town not giving pat's whatever they want ticket wise is if going beyond a certain number increases their security costs substantially. The gardai in longford are known to get excited when they hear of a big crowd coming
The FAI Cup should attract good crowds at many of the weekend fixtures.
On Friday Bohs v Shels should be a sell out.
Treaty v Cork City, a big following from Cork going to Limerick.
Both Munster Senior league clubs Rockmount and Avondale will fancy their chances at Kerry and Wexford and will have big away support too.
Kilbarrack have to cater for over 100+ Finn Harps fans travelling to their ground in Raheny.
Saturdays game between St. Michaels v Waterford is close to a derby fixture and Cooke Park should be well attended by both sets of fans.
On Sunday the big game should attract a decent crowd at Oriel for the clash of Dundalk v Shamrocks!
St Pats have over 500+ travelling to Longford for their away fixture.
Plenty of attractive fixtures and plenty of games for a possible upset!
I think it's a requirement to have Garda presence for crowds over 1,000 anyway. Stand to be corrected as such.

By the way are LOITV covering the FAI Cup games this weekend, or will it only be the league teams with home fixtures!
