No they are bringing up Rivers from Dublin.

Our record v Rovers at the Brandywell has been v poor.

I believe the last time we beat them at home was the presidents cup in 2023.

Hopefully that begins to change starting tomorrow evening.

Our former manager was scared of them. Gave them too much respect.

Something I put to Michael Duffy today as part of the programme tomorrow night.

Big thing for me is who starts RB, we've massively missed Boyce. If he's unavailable I'd like to see McMullan have a go at Rwb

McMullan Cann Connolly Holt Todd

Winchester OReilly

Hopefully we can have a crowd well above 4,000 and approaching 5,000 at it

[TenaciousDee]

All online tickets sold out but on Wednesday the outlets had small amounts still available.

Excellent. So does that mean we're looking at a crowd of almost 5,000?

[attack!attack!attack]

I hope so Steve.

Also, there’s the rain - we are going to see some slick scintillating attacking football from Derry City tonight! (Please god)

I presume there will be a tribute to Paul Diamond at the game tonight.

Presumably a well-deserved minute's applause/silence if nothing else.
