A couple of games have been announced by other clubs. Longford today announced that Derry will play them at their ground on Jan 29th with a 3pm KO. Sligo last week announced a game for the following weekend at the Brandywell

That can't be right BRM.

Cobh hammered Clonakility 7-0 on Wednesday. Rovers are playing Fairview Rangers in Limerick today to open their refurbished ground, whilst Cork are playing Killarney Celtic. Loits of clubs are playing non-LOI sides.

Billy Kee is usually 'pay at gate' but with such increased interest in team I'm wondering if they'll make it tickets only.
Are we limited to 500 as it stands?

Can't be a 500 limit, as Irish League games are allowed a lot more. So we should be grand.
