Nothing confirmed by drogheda yet though

Given that the options on the table are;
A: Show up and play at explicit request of national and world governing bodies.
and
B: Forfeit the match
...I'm not sure what there is to "confirm."
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
I can't see how Drogheda can object, it will also be a first for the Dundalk team to play on the surface, so no advantage there, and Dundalk are hardly going to object to the pitch on the grounds that its dangerous, are they?
Drogheda will have to play, I think, and anyway they should win this game well.
Is Doolin just looking for an excuse in case things go pear shaped?
Best of luck to Dundalk and their new pitch. I hope it is a sucess
What bout the rest of the stadium? How many are Dundalk expecting for the match? You'd think around 3-4 thousand.

Drogheda have made an objection according to LMFM

agreed, I certinaly hope Shels new ground has one. Not just for the quality of the pitch, but the money you could gain by renting it out 24/7 to either other teams or have a deal like Dunfermline had where you pay a certain amount of money and get to have a match with your mates inside the stadium
Have you heard the basis for it yet?Drogheda have made an objection according to LMFM

Jeez FD - this has been chewed over numerous times in other posts.
No-one is calling for a return to Winter football.
It's too early to make a judgement on Summer football.
End of story.....
I wouldn't say nobody has been calling for it. And The story may have ended before Dundalk got their pitch in place but it is reasonable to bring it back up as i believe it could be used as a pro-winter league argument backer. I'm not saying i would but some would surely.

Good news that it's passed, and good luck to Dundalk with it. Very brave of them to take a gamble and lead the way on this one. Great to see an EL club being genuine world innovators.
Looking forward to watching the game on TV as well. Hope there's a big crowd for it - it will be a genuinely historic occassion, after all.
No-one in any vague position of authority or influence has been calling for a return to Winter football, and that's all that counts.
A few fans whinging on here is irrelevant. Those sort of people tend to always have something to blame the state of Irish football on....
No more cold winter evenings in Finn Park and the Carlisle Grounds. Thank feck....
Yes, no matter how successful the pitch is it should in no way, shape or form lead to a return to winter soccer.
Ah, cmon it's not that bad. If you huddle into the Shed you wont freeze. And at least there's concrete under our seats unlike Belfield.
Anyway, I don't want a return to Winter football and I can't imagine a sane football fan who would.

It is a gamble by Dundalk and lets hope it pays off. But as for every club copying them?? Wait and see first.
But why oh why didnt they start on this at the end of last season?

Right Adam, close the site. We've finally reached the climax of foot.ie. Shows over folks. Time to get back to work.
