    Dundalk are a joke. If they can't guarantee a venue for the Cup matchg TG4 should pull the plug on live tv coverage.

    The league really has to get tougher on clubs starting projects without necessary finances to complete.

    Well what a load of misinformed rubbish this is! The pitch was completed today actually. All that needs to be done is the installation of dugouts, a retractable tunnel and the goalposts. However only three sides of the ground are expected to be open for the match, the Carrick Road end will be closed probably due to rubble having not yet been removed. Press conference at Oriel Park tomorrow at 12.30pm. Drogheda Utd will be able to train tomorrow on the pitch no problem and Dundalk tomorrow night. FIFA inspect the pitch on Tuesday but thats just a normal procedure with any new pitch, grass or otherwise.

    Roll on Friday!

    And how do you work that one out? The pitch looks fantastic, I have never seen the ground in such good condition and there will be a huge attendence. It will be our first proper home game of the season, there will be a great atmosphere and rivalry. What more do you want?

    Most of the rubble is behind the new terrace, where the old shed was, and will be inaccessible for the match obviously. The camera will be facing the stand so you won't even see the rubble on the TV.
