    1st Division Matches - 22nd March 2024

    With no PD games this Friday, are any supporters of the elite clubs planning on slumming it this weekend? I might make the trek to Brayrut to see how the other half live. It’s like Non League Day for the LOI.

    Athlone vs. Longford - 22.03. 19:45

    Bray vs. Wexford - 22.03. 19:45

    Cobh Ramblers vs UCD - 22.03. 19:45

    Finn Harps vs. Kerry - 22.03. 19:45

    Treaty United vs. Cork City - 22.03. 19:45

    Poor planning by the FAI not to have UCD at home this weekend. They could have marketed it to the fans of the other Dublin clubs. Bray I suppose is not too far, with the added bonus of a train trip to a league soccer game.

    Interesting game for us away to Treaty. We've been relatively comfortable in most of our games without being brilliant really. Only 1 goal conceded which is always great.

    What’s the reason for only giving them 350 tickets? There was 4,362 at the league cup final in MF in 2016 and Treaty are averaging just over 2,000 (I’m not knocking that figure by the way, it’s brilliant). It’s strange they’d limit a bigger attendance, even if it means allowing more away fans in, particularly when Cork fans will probably just buy in the home end anyways given the demand is there

    Cork City fans can also avail of the opposite end at the West (Markets Field) end, this is a small grass open terrace for away supporters, if you are able to get tickets.
    A crowd of 2,500 is expected, weather permitting.

    I actually would be at the Bowl if UCD were at home.

    Tough ask for Kerry to pick up points away to Harps, given their current form, but then we've only conceded once in each of our last three games, so certainly not impossible.

    Refreshing that Kerry have not moaned about having to travel to Donegal. Would that many Cork fans venture out of Cork to Markets Field?

    I believe the away stand has a new cert which has knocked 40 or so off of the capacity of it down to 260. Assume the rest is a section of the grassbank terrace - the popular side.

    I don't know the ins and outs but City fans have been troublesome on occasion at the venue with pyro and pitch invasions stopping games temporarily. Maybe that's a factor, maybe not.

    That could indeed lead to restricting away capacity even if in theory a lot more could attend.

    Completely gone over my aged head that there were 1st division matches on.
    Would def have gone to the bowl but bray depresses me tbh between the anti Cabo vibe about the place and general negativity I'll probably watch Cork v treaty on loitv. It's a big game for Cork, chance to firmly stamp themselves as promotion certainties and avoid any nervous nelly jitters

    They may not want a large Cork crowd turning up and standing on a slippery grass bank after all the rain we have had lately.

    There appears to be some sort of bright energy source in the sky today, can anyone advise what this may be?

    I don't know, but it scares me. Perhaps we should worship it so it doesn't get angry at us.

    Is Treaty vs. Cork the straightforward obvious choice for Premier Division neutrals for LOI TV tonight? Or any argument for Athlone vs. Longford?

    Treaty v Cork is the obvious one. Need Treaty to get something to stop Cork running away with the league at least for the present

    Has to be the Midlands derby, two clubs that are both over 100 years old. Cork City not much older than Treaty
