    There's a few more names to be confirmed as well I hear. Gary Pallister and possibly a former Man Utd player and Irish international who's not Roy Keane!. Apparently the expenses aren't going to be too unreasonable so hopefully the meal and the game can raise a few quid for the club. Should be a bit of sport anyway.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Not so far as I'm aware but maybe his Killashee "nephews" can have a word! No it's a more recent player than that. He's "90% coming" but he's to confirm later in the month apparently so we'll see.

    You might say that but I couldn't possibly comment . As I said though he hasn't confirmed 100% yet.

    Uncle Frank's back in Town! Great stuff. That said I did get to speak to the great man when he was co-commentating for an Under 21 match for Sky. God he was miserable. He was no relation to me after that.

    Meh, will bring in a few quid anyway. Bring the lovely loyal locals of Longford (it rolls off the tounge!) who cannot get off their arses to support us otherwise, but give them a big auld day out and sure they will be there in their droves.

    Was in contact with a company about doing this in Lissywoollen as well and thought that with the economic slowdown the outlay compared to profit ratio wasn't worth the risk. I think they charge a lump sum and then a percentage of ticket sales on top of that.

    Anyways best of luck with it and I hope it works out.

    This crowd aren't charging anything except flights and accomodation as far as I know. It's not a company who specialises in this so there's no percentage of ticket sales to them. Somebody (I'm not sure who) had connections to some of the players and they're organising a gang of them amongst themselves to come over for a weekend, playing golf the day after etc. Massop, I don't think you need have any fears on that score to be honest. And Macy, no and it ain't Brian Carey either!.
