Wahey, first-time post/thread... long-time voyeur lol
Just wondering if anyone knows what the... commute(?) between North Kildare (say Celbridge:cool:) to Station Rd is? I'd say i'm closer and tis easier to get to Dalyer or Tolka than Station Rd from here
Although the idea for an all county Kildare LOI team was the right decision IMO, would i be right in saying that it has shown that soccer clubs are a more urban phenomena and can't sustain large rural catchment areas in the same way GAA can countywide? Especially freshly created identities such as Kildare.
Really and honestly, i know theyre making more of an effort now to reach out to the north of the county, but Kildare is definitely a team for the south, and i'd be lying if i said i hadn't been looking into the theoretical viability of a LOI club based within the triumvirate of Leixlip, Maynooth, Celbridge etc. A derby would draw the crowds i'm CERTAIN lol
BTW This isn't a shot at Kildare County or the south and i wouldn't count myself as a proper Shels fan (despite i think it being my avatar!), i'm more a LoI fan than any particular team, which i suppose is probably related to the lack of affiliation with Kildare... i've come full circle lol
