    Its an interesting idea and sounds like great fun! How does the fundraising aspect happen, sponsorship? Is it the same bunch of lads round every ground or is there a cheat by having a Galwiegan living in Dundalk kick a ball round Oriel while others do the same in Dublin etc ;p Without the detail it'd be great to have all involved back in ED Park for a quick kick around prior to a home league game. What would be a good, though not really a fundraiser would be to have a Galway fan in each Premier League ground on one Friday night so last set of fixtures of the season and the pics of each posted up. We should start a supporter loan gag system...

    Must have a compuslory pint in the Lilywhite Lounge and maybe even with advance notice ye might have cocktail sausages and sandwiches before moving on to United Park (all food and drink must be consumed on the lovely surroundings of the away terrace...)

    36 players with two squads of 18 playing 10 minutes games in each ground in the league, within 24 hours. Each player commits to raising €500.

    I can imagine them turning up somewhere like United Park and being forgotten about and left standing outside a locked stadium.
