Stephen Bradley feels it would be beneficial in the future to reduce length of the off-season and says fellow managers are in agreement.
STEPHEN BRADLEY SAYS the majority of League of Ireland Premier Division managers would be in favour of extending the domestic season to avoid fixture congestion.
The league system has replaced the traditional group phase and guarantees Rovers six games – three home and three away – against six different opponents. St Patrick’s Athletic can join them if they beat Istanbul Başakşehir later today . “I actually don’t mind the extending of the season as it obviously means your off season is shorter, which is not a bad thing. Our off season is too long. What we have to do when the draw is made on Friday is looking at friendlies and who we can get and play in between them games,” he said.
The FAI made the decision to postpone Dundalk’s league game with St Pat’s last Sunday in order to give the Dublin club more time to prepare for this evening’s tie while the derby between Rovers and Bohemians this Sunday will kick off at 11.30am to ensure a police presence, rather than rescheduling the game for a more traditional time slot.
