You'll be happy to know that the Conaught Street Stand no longer is in use.

All away fans will either be in the Jodi, or more likely for bigger clubs, the shed

GLaDOS

Fair play for the effort in the OP.

Yeah Shels will be out in the Shed more than likely. Can't wait for this! Gonna be a cracker.

I seem to have forgotten, how is the 1st working

7x3 games - 21 game season
or
7x4 games - 28 game season

?

Youse will be in the Shed most likely Des. That's where we were put last season.

I vote stovelid to be the weekly thread starter, better than dreamerz imo.

Looking forward to first game in Oriel this season. Fair play to the Dundalk board who have reduced ticket prices for this season. €10 into the ground is very fair.

Hopefully we'll see a good few Pats fans on Friday night availing of our astounding generosity. Amazed that the Drogs are still charging €20 into the stand this season.

I second this motion. I've got to fancy us at home again Roddy's boys. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to absolutely ram a thumping down his throat.

The sensual brand of football they play surely warrants it!

I vote Applehunter purely for this gem.

Hopefully I'll get rid of this poxy cold before the game on Friday night. Bringing along a few mates to Dalymount too so hopefully they'll be as hooked as I've gotten.

1st Division is 7 x 4 = 28 this season. Hopefully over familiarity doesn't get too bad

Gavin "shels"

Can't wait for Bohs on Friday, last few times we've played in Dalymount since our demoted we've brought decent enough crowds so hopefully with this being a League match we can double this. Des Kelly produces some noise too.

Looking forward to playing Monaghan Select XI. Hopefully get Daryl Horgan back, and with the Cross rocking, 2-0 City.

Crucial that we get a result against Shels, we've a very tough opening set of fixtures.

Fancy us to beat Bohs.

Needs to work to the snappy titles though

stovelid

One thing I forgot to add was that I intended (in the OP) to link directly to ticket info pages (like the Rovers one) on the club sites but ended just linking to the main sites for a lot of them because I didn't have time to search for the ticket info pages in work.

Maybe members/supporters should bring it up with their club website admins to make sure that a highly conspicuous ticket info page (as in ticket prices for floating punters not just potential season ticket buyers) is there for interested newbies.

Just a thought.

Roddy on the bench in Tallaght will be amusing. Interesting to see how he reacts to the "banter" from the home fans

Longford Town vs Athlone Town is on Saturday the 10th not Friday!

Moved to Saturday. Apologies.

Captain Havoc

Plan is to be in either Turner's Cross or Tallaght on Friday, depending on if I need to be in Cork or not.

IvySlayer

Can't wait for tomorrow

Mons should be good, expecting a comfortable victory though.

Good thread, I applaud the work of all involved.

My own predictions for the weekend ahead:
PREMIER
Bohs win, tough derby to call though.
Derry win, Bray hard to beat at home though but Derry should possibly win.
Cork win, should be lift off for Leesiders in the Premier. Hope they've a big crowd.
Pat's win, hard call away from home but I'd be confident for them.
Shamrock win, tough game for Rodders.
Sligo win, decent win for them in the SSC earlier in the week.

FIRST:
Wexford win, Waterford to gain a draw, Longford win and Haprs win.

May be a dumb question but am I safe enough getting tickets for the rovers game on the door?

Should be fine. There are ticket booths right beside the turnstiles. Kick-off is at 8pm.

Yes, will be no problem. Ticket booths beside the turnstiles past the shop. Hope you have an enjoyable night.

Thanks, sorry should have worded it better - there's not a sellout anticipated or anything, is there?

No, you'll be fine. Should be decent crowd though.

Make sure you buy a ticket for where you want to go. West stand is where the families go and is quieter. East stand is where the singing lads and the Ultras do their displays and most people stand. The atmosphere is better there.

You havent lived man! You wont miss the Connaught though, the DK is way better, at least its possible to create an atmosphere in there

The top half was going to collapse eventually. Disaster in waiting.

I would love if the tramway end was open again. Sad to think nobody will ever stand on it again.

Mushy

Annoyed at missing the match tonight, but not much I can do. Hopefully get something out of the match, need a point to get started. Not confident though.

Any chance these threads can include a bit of 'Tom Watch'? I always like to know where that crazy fucker gets to each weekend.

Going by your location, I'm assuming you are Bray?

Richmond last week in a new blue jacket.

Seen this last week.

Somewhere in Ireland Tom the Gom is putting the briefcase down. Quitting his job as a Brain Surgeon. Taking off his suit. Gets the green jacket out of the wardrobe. Practicing his famous quotes in the mirror "Bohemians are gonna win in""don't be coddin me" fills the bath full of muck mustard and ketchup where he'll soak for the next few days. This means one thing. Real football is back
