I know we will probably make the play-offs in November, but I don't think we're there yet.

Why do they NEVER provide a service for supporters that live past Maynooth on the Sligo line?

Um, seeing as Serbia and Montenegro are (for the last few years) two separate countries, aren't we only playing Montenegro?
