Keith Rossiter to return as manager, let's see whether any changes are made to the backroom team for 2026 ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 628 - 19/08/2025 10:43:02 2632618 Link
Replying To ElGranSenor: "Keith Rossiter to return as manager, let's see whether any changes are made to the backroom team for 2026" I suspect a new forwards coach for certain. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3895 - 20/08/2025 08:47:56 2632786 Link
Replying To ElGranSenor: "Keith Rossiter to return as manager, let's see whether any changes are made to the backroom team for 2026" We need our coaching staff to change some aspects of the teams training for sure. Whether that's new staff or new training I'm not sure. Keith is manager, it's his call. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16915 - 20/08/2025 09:56:11 2632799 Link
Does anyone know who we're home and away to in the league next year? Off top of my head we'll definitely have Clare at home and I'd imagine the Dublin game will be a double header on a Saturday evening in croke park, definitely have either a trip to Antrim or Down id imagine too.

I'm not sure but couldn't we be away to both Down and Antrim? I'm not sure we have a home and away League arrangement with Clare either. We were home to Clare 2 years in a row in the League before this year, 2023 and 2024. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16915 - 21/08/2025 12:59:46 2632967 Link

Could have sworn we were away to Antrim last time we played them in the league. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3895 - 21/08/2025 13:33:44 2632977 Link
Replying To Doylerwex: "Could have sworn we were away to Antrim last time we played them in the league." That would only make a difference if we have a home and away League arrangement with them. I'm not sure if we do. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16915 - 21/08/2025 14:41:13 2632998 Link
I don't think home and away arrangements are feasible in the League, and particularly when there's a restructuring like there was in the move from six teams up to seven teams per division. Seven teams in the division obviously means six matches, with three home and three away. But with teams getting promoted/relegated each year, it means you could end up in a group sometime with four or five teams who you played away the last time you met in the League, and only one or two who you played at home. You couldn't then have four or five matches at home that year on foot of home & away agreements, with only one or two matches away. Think it's generally around November when the draft League fixtures are circulated to the counties, and then they're made public some time later. Sure we'll find out then!

We have Clare, Dublin, Down, Antrim, Carlow and Kildare. Would be nice to have Clare and Dublin at home from the perspective of doing well, although Clare is a great away trip. Antrim and Down are good away trips to make a weekend of also. Really hope we have the Dubs in the Park. After that I'm not too bothered who else we have at home.

My best guess is that we get the reverse of Waterford's fixtures and Clare will get the reverse of Offaly's fixtures ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 628 - 22/08/2025 09:44:32 2633081 Link

Replying To Bon: "Ye might want Kildare at home too ;)" Ah no a trip up to Conleth Park is always good, get Eddie Rockets for the kids on the way in! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16915 - 22/08/2025 15:51:17 2633127 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Why do you think that?" Probably the easiest way for them to determine fixtures, same fixtures as last year but reversed with 6th and 7th in 1A replacing 1st and 2nd in 1B respectively and with 1st and 2nd in 2A replacing 6th and 7th in 1B ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 628 - 22/08/2025 17:04:32 2633136 Link
