Div 1 Donegal v Roscommon.

[BluestackBoy]

If Donegal can have the cojones to win Sam, Ros can too.

It takes a lot more than simple cojones to win Sam.

Surely Ballyshannon should be the venue for away non-Ulster teams. Ballybofey was 2 hours more on the road for us and Letterkenny worse again. I ve no doubt that Roscommon folk are looking forward to playing one of the best teams that the game has seen. I doubt Donegal will be as psycho as they were last 2 matches ( management must realise they need to calm down a bit), but they are bloody good.

Donegal split their league games between Ballyshannon, Ballybofey & Letterkenny to facilitate Donegal supporters from each area.

We have to travel miles to each away fixture as it stands & having the odd league game near where we actually live is a small bonus for us.

If this game was played in Ballyshannon many Roscommon supporters would actually have a shorter journey than Donegal supporters from the north end of the county.

Thats fair enough. I am not being an arse here, however Letterkenny ground is in an awful bad spot for parking and getting away. The ground itself has a small stand and most people will not make it to the stand, the spectator viewing areas around the ground are all level, making it a disaster for kids and midgets. Its much better than our own Kiltoom, but not great all the same. Would take the hand off use (if you excuse the pun) for a draw.

Agreed on the point about parking, however the stand is quite sizeable & the other sides are banked. Wouldn't be my favourite ground mainly because we have put in some truly dreadful performances there in the last couple of years.

What are the seating arrangements in letterkenny is it limited and first come first served?  Personally I prefer standing but have an elderly father to think of. I presume we'd need to be in for the hurling to get a seat.

[Shrewdness]

Roscommon have tonight named an unchanged team for the Donegal match.

[Rossfan]

Good few changes on the bench, 4 U21s named and no Cathal Shine.
McS and O'D must expect our U21s to hit the end of the road tomorrow.

[Shrewdness]

No Niall Daly on the bench either, despite local media speculation that he would return for this game.

[Syferus]

Whether they win or not they'll have the same amount of football played.

[Shrewdness]

Lads, is there any particular reason that Cathal Shine isn`t getting much action. I know he was injured, but he`s not coming back as quick as you`d expect.

I believe it is an all ticket game with no tickets being sold on the day so your ticket will determine where you go.

[Rossfan]

I expect management don't think Cathal Shine is fit enough.

It's unreserved seating. Ticket gets you general admission. Seats are on a first come first served basis.

I don't really know how big/small the stand is so I don't know how quickly it will fill up.

[Goldengreen]

The Stand hold maybe about 2000

[J70]

Roscommon tearing Donegal a new one in Letterkenny. 0-7 to 0-1 after about 20 minutes, and it could be worse.
