Hard to see past Down & Rsocommon going up - one win for Down guarantees promotion and one win for Roscommon would leave it down to head to head / points difference if one or more of Laois / Meath / Cavan win their next two games.

Relegation will be much tighter, could be any of the bottom six teams but Kildare (2 pts and 2 away games to come) and Westmeath (-17 pts difference) look the most likely.

Our game against Galway has been moved to 1:30pm in case any Galway lads haven't heard.

Interesting that our game is the only Sunday one - if results went our way we would know going in that we'd be promoted with a win.

There'll surely be a massive Rossie crowd if that turns out to be the case, and a chance to beat Galway which is rare for ye.
How many were at the Meath game?

[Rossfan]

My estimate would be about 3,000 but I'm not the best at estimating.

That's more than ye brought to mc hale park in 2009.

Two huge games on Saturday evening, us away to Cavan and Laois at home to Kildare. Two 4 pointer games.

A Cavan win will  see us safe.

Aim for the stars and not the slurry pit buck, a Cavan loss is better for our target now.

I think you're safe enough.

The U21 game is a championship game. The last thing Galway seniors will want before the championship is relegation to div 3. I would expect the tribesmen to pick their strongest team and fight tooth and nail to stay up.

you would worry for any side who goes up to division 1. leix had some turn around giving roscommon a lesson, beating meath and a cruel Galway who couldn't score in the second half again laois Walshs p45 should have been on the table this morning.

its a funny league as i can see kildare getting something out of the laois game  and maybe Galway and westmeath to go down who i think both won their first two games

And certainly more than they had left in the crowd at HT that day.

Worry??
Whats the worst that can happen? A few hammerings and you get relegated to Div 2. No big deal
By staying in division 2 (and it will be  stronger division 2 next year) with Armagh and maybe Donegal in it you have a chance to drop to division 3.
This could be the best chance for these division 2 teams to go up to the top tier for years
