I think all eircom league supporters must've missed that

though with their squad next season they're sure to be a force to be reckoned with

btw personally hoping for our first match to be at home to bohs - always crackers

There used to be a President's Cup donkey's years ago where the League winners would play the Cup winners. With the Setanta in progress, it wouldn't make sense to revive it, but having that as the first fixture of the season should be a good crowd-puller.

I know Derry didn't win the League and we didn't win the Cup but in the absence of Shels (whether complete or just as a Premier team), it'd be as close as we could get.

Duno how true it is, mind - I think it's the basis for the Pat's radio ad being made. So it could just as easily be your second game, but your first home game.

Its a farce

Was that not only for Leinster teams?
Its not that long ago either. I remember Bohs playing Shels at Dalyer (we won on penalties if my memory serves me) at the start of the 2000/01 season.

Possibly just for Dublin team even. Never remember a team from outside Leinster playing in. Did Dundalk play in?

UCD are at home on Friday 13 April. The game's going to be moved to the Thursday because our Alumni Dinner is on on the Friday.

So the fixtures are made up, but they're not being released until the Shels debacle gets sorted.

It's just a cover for our superstitious nature.

In fairness, as far as I recall, it's always been on the Saturday, so it's a bit strange that it's the Friday this year. Maybe we got delayed waiting for the fixtures and Saturday got booked out?

How about all the players, officials and supporters hop into busses with blacked out windows at 6pm every Friday and step out two hours later at a surprise venue. It would save the FAI the trouble of drawing up fixtures at all.
