**A face** · 11/03/2009, 5:52 PM

FAI Fans Forum on 4th April. Make sure that your club has representatives there. Try and enough that the fans will give a report back to other fans in your club.

If you have any suggestions, ideas, issues, etc. pass them onto the reps to raise on your behalf. More info on this soon.

We should ask the questions like why were Drogs and Cork not punished

Drogs and Cork were punished, they each had ten point deductions applied, ultimately costing Cork City a place in Europe.

Slap on the wrists rather than a proper punishment.

Then the question should be why werent we relegated etc, not why werent we punished. There was a punishment, whether you agree with the severity of it or not is another matter.

Any chance the FAI will release an Agenda for the Forum in advance?

Dublin based fans on behalf of CCSC and hopefully a board member of FORAS.

Trying to organise this

**Hairy Bowsie** · 11/03/2009, 11:06 PM

It'd be nice if this time around more fans were willing to actually grill the FAI than try to crawl up their hole, as what happened the last 2 times.

If i can swing it, i'll go but the last time i had a confrontation/agruement with a member of FAI my club got fined by the FAI. So there may just be a better man than me.

Where will this be on?

Also can anyone go along or do you have to submit details of who will be attending?

**Dodge** · 12/03/2009, 9:23 AM

Any chance the FAI would advertise this? There's more than foot.ie readers around the league

No, not for everyone to come along. Its just representatives of each club. Generally its people from the supporters clubs, people who will relay the message to other fans.

Representatives have been contacted already, so there is no need to advertise. The reason i am posting it is because some clubs weren't represented at the last few, so just highlighting that.

Also, and probably the most important thing is for fans to collate their questions and give them to their clubs reps to pose on their behalf.

Representatives of who? Seems like a select few supporters clubs. Certainly isn't all supporters' clubs, never mind all supporters

**Enruoblehs** · 12/03/2009, 9:58 AM

Will those who were not notified of the last one, - but found out about it, attended and gave their contact details - be notified of this one?

Also, if I'm not mistaken, there was talk of the next forum being somewhere other than Dublin????

Right and my next question is, how does one get to attend if not contacted already?

I'm only asking as our supporters club is fairly new so I didn't expect to be contacted, but how can I advise the FAI that we'd like to attend?

**Battery Rover** · 12/03/2009, 10:12 AM

Contact Noel Mooney he will sort it out for you

Dodge, if you were organising it, how would go about inviting people?

If you gave your contact details then i'd imagine so.

I dunno man, this one is in Dublin anyway.

Maybe contact your club CPO for details. Do you know if your club was represented the last time? Noel Mooney is organising, maybe drop him a mail on noel.mooney@fai.ie

First thing I'd do is advertise it on the LOI website. I'd contact the clubs and ask them to advertise it on their websites. And, of course, I'd contact those supporters clubs I've dealt with in the past
