Does anyone else think... Nah, I must be just a little nit too conspiratorial.

Havn't you heard Bohs and both Rovers have been invited to join la Liga

Our friendly against Donegal Celtic has been cancelled. I assume the one against Sporting Fingal will be too if they get into the first division.

Got a text message this morning confirming the new time and date

Think the reason behind it is one of our pre season training nights is Monday so saves the players having to travel an extra day

**Risteard** · 23/01/2008, 6:42 PM

Where the feck is Cabra?

**Carlin** · 23/01/2008, 6:44 PM

That might not have been the reason for it. Sunday would have been easy for me getting from Limerick but being on a monday now makes it a lot harder

A big crew will still travel it is only a short spin down the road

**Raheny Red** · 24/01/2008, 6:24 PM

League fixtures are out tomorrow.
