| Considering every other game in the season is on a Sunday it seems strange to have the bowl on a Saturday |

Well to be fair to the IAFL they don't have many options as Rovers game was re-scheduled to the Sunday and they have priority. And with the Irish Premier Division played during the summers finding empty dates wasn't easy Id say.
As for the pitch unless it rains heavily between now and next Saturday I can't see the pitch getting wrecked at all.

as a Bohs fan, if someone could have a dump on the floor of the home dressing room on the way out, it'd be very much appreciated.

Due to the Rovers game on Sunday, we didn't have any choice in this matter - it was either move it back a day or move a week later, which would have been worse. Rovers are the principle tenants of the stadium so their fixtures would take preference. |

Won't it be weird watching the Rovers-Bohs game on TV with all the football markings still on the field

You could still see the pitch markings yesterday on TV. They were faint but they were there. The pitch looked well as well, not as bad as Wembley after the first International Series game

Looking at the Rovers-Bohs Highlights it seemed they did the usual thing of going over the markings with green paint. Probably not enough time to get rid of them properly. Easier to green them out and let the weather do the rest.
