NFL Division 2 2025

A bit late to be rescheduling a game, doesn't give traveling supporters much time to change plans if attending via public transport or have accommodation booked, then again it's Cork who don't travel to away matches in big numbers.   

There was a decent Cork contingent in Newry a few weeks back.
Would many supporters travel much distances like that regular. Outside the few counties going well in div 1.

Alot of Cork people in Dublin might have made the trip to that game with Newry only up the motorway.

spot on, I was talking to a couple of Cork people sitting beside us at the game in Newry, they were living in Dublin and had travelled up

It was a bank Holiday weekend in the south too for that game.

Monaghan v Cork moved to Saturday for weather reasons apparently.

Bit of forward thinking at last.

Could be a few games under pressure with rain sunday

good decision that, if anyone has any influence could they move Louth v Down as well lol

Honest question.

Which is better rescheduling the game for the day earlier or calling it off when the pitch is going to be unplayable.

I'm looking at it from a supporters point of view.  We already had a few games called off in round 1 and those games was pushed back a few weeks.  Any matches with unplayable pitches this Sunday I would expect those matches will be pushed back to 8th/9th of March.

Rte say  Louth Down game is in Ardee? . This is incorrect ? Drogeda is the venue I believe.

Any predictions for weekend?
 
Meath vs Roscommon

Westmeath vs Cavan

Louth vs Down

Monaghan vs Cork


   

Meath vs Roscommon - Meath massively improved but might be a step too far this week; Rassies by 3

Westmeath vs Cavan - One of the lesser known local derbies - unless your from Finnea - Cavan by 7

Louth vs Down - Another local Derby of Sorts - Down by 3

Monaghan vs Cork - Definitely not a local derby - Monaghan by 2

Meath are 5/2 and I can't help thinking that is a bit of value. 

me too and I'll have some of that.

Was thinking the same that was a huge win for Meath against Down I would have thought at outset Monaghan, Cork and Down would have been competing for second spot behind the Rossies.  They seem to have lost a few years under the O'Rourke regime. 

. We did lose a few years. Thankfully we have rectified that now.

Navan has won awards for been best pitch in country. The rest of the stadium is a disgrace and needs to be demolished asap. However every discussion about the refurbishment has always stated the pitch must not be touched, not even by bringing in machinery etc. the pitch will be fine. The rest of the place could be the problem

Are there any plans to do work in Navan?

It is a mess alright. Really run down and the facilities are not fit for spectators.

I've always liked going to Navan. The stand may be old but it's quite a good spot to watch games. Seems to have more off an elevation to it so nothing obstructs apart from thr odd pole.
It jas an old cusack stand feel to it.
They can't redeveloped and stay off thr pitch though.

Many years ago i fell on my arse and slipped down the grass bank in Navan much to everyone around me amusement. There are some things you never forget
