    Question Alan Matthews - Winter Football

    Does anyone know if Alan Matthews still wants to return to Winter Football ??
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    alan does actually agree with winter football, it brigs bigger crowds to flacare and therefore increases his budget, also witha young family it would allow him to take summer holiday like any other person, although that can be done this year with the break for the world cup if children are in second level school.

    and how any cork supporter can comment on another clubs gear when their players are running around looking like long strings of toothpaste is beyond me

    Think Mr.Matthews is in a very small minority on this one, fortunately.
    Maybe these postponed games might change his mind.

    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    Roll on a summer season in Ireland then, so we don't experience 2 out of 3 games postponed. The league should move away from the winter season immediately...

    Guys, i'll be honest with you ... i wasn't trying to stir. I was just pointing out the fact the he want to reture to Winter footie, i mean thats no secret and i posted to try and find out what people thought about it. I can see any problem with debating it to be fair (or am i wrong)

    Anyway, i genuinely wasn't trying to cause trouble. If you want me to bin it or whatever just say so. Apologies if i ticked anyone off, that no what i intended to do.

    You're right about the toothpaste though !!

    Sod all games would've been postponed in January or February, as they were very dry months. March has been the wettest this year. This proves we should return to a winter season with immediate effect.
