As per the phonebook it seems there is one in Dublin 24

Was just onto them there...They say they can only sell to retailers or teams. I'd say if you were a team you could get whatever wanted done. ie your own specifications...Maybe some of the lads ye met knew someone in there or worked there themselves.
Have to say i haven't used the word 'gammy' in a sentence in years!!
Class word and will endevour to use it as often as possible from here on in!! Serious blast from the past there!!
apologies for the off topic post but I felt the word 'gammy' deserved it!
I just couldnt think of a more suitable word that summed up my
feelings on the matter

The FAI shop is run by Blarney Woolen Mills, hardly a great retailer. The range is crap & the prices OTT.

the FAI online store is not run by Blarney Woolen Mills but by the FAI themselves using a third party fulfilment company -I'd expect this to change..
They had a grea t range of merchandising ready for market but a problem with Umbro put paid to that.

HA! dont mention the war! I have had some dealings with Umbro's Irish distributors. What is it with them? Flaky is not the word. The FAI really know how to pick 'em. They couldn't supply me 30 Ireland shirts 2 weeks after their release date!Ringo

Say if 20 of us on here wanted the new away jersey without the Eircom logo, could we put our money together and put in an order for say 20 long sleeve jerseys, of various sizes? You could make up a club name, or get them put down in the name of a junior club that one of us is involved in. I presume that you'd get the jersey's at below the retail price as well, seeing that it is for a club. I can't see how it wouldn't work to be honest. I've often seen Nightowls or inter-firm teams playing in the kits of clubs or countries, so it wouldn't be an unusual request. If it worked, you'd be getting the jersey without the ****ty logo, plus at a discount as well.
Sorry to dig this one up from the grave, but is it just me or can anyone else not find the FAI online shop? This link also doesnt work. Maybe they closed down for the winter

I think the online shop is closed due to lack of stock i.e. nothing to sell.
Their address per phone book is A6 Parkway Business Centre, Dublin 24.

Starting on the long pilgrimage to South Africa
i used to work for an online merchandising fullfillment company five years ago. i got on to the FAI, asking them if they wanted us to do their online shop (we had a large client base and high quality shop, with zoomable and rotateable images of the products), but they said they already had struck a deal for an online shop. it took two years after that untill their shop came online, and it was really bad. a real cowboy job. they could have had a proper shop five years ago, yet now it's 2006 and they are still arseing about. it's a shame, because they have a lot of online selling potential, what with the large diaspora following the team.

We could do it now for the new home shirt, if enough people were interested...
My other posts are intelligent and witty. This one is an exception.
