Monday's tabloid-format Indo had the scores from the Saturday D1 games - that was it. I believe the content is identical in the broadsheet.

One good thing about the Red Tops is that they recognise 'Supporting the League' also means supporting the First Division, something which some of the Premier Division mugs on this website haven't realised yet. Either way fairplay to RTE for showing Harps - Athlone
Also a full page feature with Harps Chairman John Campbell in Irish Star Soccer pull out today, although I believe its a Northern Edition and not in the Dublin papers.
Not in the Dublin issue.

Delighted for harps, but to show them play bloody athlone, surely our game few weeks was far more important,and even last weekend vs Dundalk. Good sign RTE showing first div matches though.

c'mon the Shels
wait, did I just say that? I must be going mad
God - I do hope they change that to 2-legs if it does end up as Harps-Derry!!
I know you won't agree with me, but having a single leg at Finn Park would just be wrong. You'd make more money at the Brandywell (a significantly bigger gate to share evenly), it'd look much better on TV from our ground, and as you'd lose for the 10,000th time or whatever you have to take serious consideration of anything other than the result....!
Why, how many will the Brandywell hold now?God - I do hope they change that to 2-legs if it does end up as Harps-Derry!!

There would be well over 5000 in Finn Park for it and the Brandywell looks cack on TV.
At least 6,000 when we can use the standing areas (i.e. not Europe). It used to be as high as 8,000, but since we put seats into the old Jungle this will have dropped. Someone else may have a better idea of the current official capacity currently, but we had at least 6,000 at last year's League Cup Final versus Shelbourne.
At least 20% less than the Brandywell would hold, and we should sell-out a single-legged play-off between us, so less income for both clubs if it was held at Finn Park.
Were there not less than 5,000 at the sell-out Cup game between us in Finn Park last month ? If so - where is the extra capacity you're now talking about going to come from?
As for the Brandywell looking 'cack' on TV.....?!?Aye - cuz Finn Harps looks like the Field of Dreams......
Obviously you weren't there. It wasn't a sell-out.At least 6,000 when we can use the standing areas (i.e. not Europe).

Finn Park looks like cack on TV. As does the Brandywell.
Are you coming out with this crap again? If Harps win the coin toss it wouldn't be wrong to have the game at Finn Park, regardless of which venue is better.I know you won't agree with me, but having a single leg at Finn Park would just be wrong. You'd make more money at the Brandywell (a significantly bigger gate to share evenly), it'd look much better on TV from our ground, and as you'd lose for the 10,000th time or whatever you have to take serious consideration of anything other than the result....!
So your biggest game of the year crowd-wise, and you still couldn't sell it out ?
P.S. Subtle clue as to why I wasn't there. Look at the top right-hand side of every single post I make....
No great surprise to see a UCD fan asserting the supremacy of the coin-toss over sensible considerations such as capacity, spectacle, fit for purpose etc when determining where big games should be played.....
In that case the league cup final should have been at Dalymount surely.
