This is a disgrace. Completely unfair on away teams and entirely foreseeable. Selling the entire capacity as season tickets with no provision for exceptional circumstances isn't on. It's not like they couldn't sell them game by game anyway.

It's a pity they have to take away some of the curved stand. Always like the look of it. Would it not have made more sense to build a full stand along the side when they were doing it instead of the piddly one they went with.

Talk of Reynolds on his way back to the Brandy, thought we defo took a negative step after he left last season.

 I agree with we have to be more attacking, maybe not attacking but aggressive play on the front foot and try and win games, instead of being happy with the draw. If that's enough to even push Rovers I'd be skeptical but least it's going for it. Window not over yet and another signing  or two would be welcome.

We have half a successful Dundalk team from maybe 5 years ago. They are all older and injury prone. I don’t think it will work out. Higgins needs to seriously change his mentality too. Sets up at home to drogheda like we’re playing Barcelona. Rovers win the league last year in second gear. Burns and apparently mceneff back will improve them. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Best defensive record in the league last season. Lots of 0-0 draws- hopefully Hoban turns those into 1-0 wins. If he gets 10-12 goals even then that would add a good few points to the tally. Rovers going for five in a row so history beckons but that will bring pressure and it is notoriously difficult to keep going year after year plus we don't know how their European football will ultimately go. 
Walters coming back from an offside position but Shane Long was definitely onside- Shane Lonnggggggg.... has done it!!!!

The team starting to look very strong for next season. If we don't win the league this year I am not sure we ever will in this cycle.

Maher

Boyce
Connolly
McJannet
Doherty

Dummigan
McEleney/O'Rielly
Patching

Kelly
Hoban
Duffy

That's as good as it gets in LOI for me.

Be nice alright, I think Duffy is top goalscorer for us with 7, sums it up well. Pity because we're excellent in few positions except the one that really matters. 

Disappointed with lack of fight in the team. The season has fizzled out on them and Rovers didn't have to get out of 3rd gear. Not much between Derry, Pats, Bohs or Shels. Still alot to play for.

Same problems tonight v Drogheda. Lacking a proven sticker being the biggest problem, surly must get someone in if we're to kick on. Some lads looked like they were already on the beach already. 

Good news with the new stand getting planning permission and work starting next month, adding 2700 to the capacity. Club paying for it, 2 million is the reported figure so fair play. Hopefully get back on grass soon too.
