The "Save Bald Student a Cycle" campaign.

Lads,
With our game in May set to be postponed because of international call-ups and what with Dalyer probably being full of fixture conjestion or something, wouldn't it be a great idea to play the rearranged fixture in Belfield?

Think of the benefits; It'll save me a cycle accross the city, there'll be tasty food back in the Montrose afterwards and it'd practically be a home game for your left-backs. It's win-win!

Is Micko playing left back still?

It'll save me a trip to the Northside too. Great idea!

Sounds like a plan to me lads. Away to you lot is one of the games I'm most looking forward to this year (I'm being serious) so the more games in Belfield, from my persepective anyway, the better. The "home" games in Dalymount this year have been more horrifying than the illustrated edition of the Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe...:o

Well speaking selfishly, I was due to miss that game because I will be away in Prague so if it is rearranged midweek for say two weeks later I can go... :D

It will save me a cycle across the city!

You mean you were planning to turn up in Dalymount this time as opposed to your no-show on Friday? :D

He played on the left side of midfield against us last Friday night. One of the best grafters in the game, great signing for DC :ball:

Good; he's much better there. Yeah, fantastic engine, as they say - Belfield Park legend has it that Micko would keep running when he left the field, jogging on the spot during half time, and not stopping even to shower at full time before arriving at the bus stop before the fans.

LOL:D

Will endeavour to find out if the venue switch is a goer.

Still in Dalyer according to the DC website. Just moved to the Monday.

Seeing as we're launching silly campaigns it should be known that the gate will increase by about 2% (Me, Schumi, Bald Student and Aberdonian Stu) if the game is moved to Tuesday as the three of us will be away at the Rugby untill Monday night.

I think you're cheating a bit there. :D

The game is going ahead on the Monday in Castle Greyskull:(

We don't wish to conceed our "home" advantage...mind you what advantage we'll gain from playing on an inferior pitch in front of one man and a dog is uncertain....:(

We're probably looking at one of the worst eL gates in a long time. Between the teams, the Heiniken Cup trips and the night.:o

OK, so Bald Student's campaign might not be successfull. Fair enough, neither of me can attend anyway because of the rugby.

Longer term, is there any chance that DCFC could re-regester as a youth or educational team so as to get arround the planning laws and move permanently to Belfield?

Think of the advantages. For example, I'm much more likely to attend a game in Belfield. If that pattern is repeated accross all of Dublin, you have a potential of 1.5 million supporters! Even if these supporters only attend a game once a year, that's still about 75,056 supporters per game (75,000 being 1.5 million divided by an average of 20 games a season and then added to your regular support). This doesn't even include away fans!!!

Seriously lads, it's possible that I've caved to the temptations of having a homebrew kit but I can't see any flaw in my logic and since DCFC seem to be the bizarro - Shamrock Rovers wht not move to Dublin 4?
