Hi lads and ladies,
didnt't know what to put in the thread title so that'll have to do.
i am doing a christmas review for my sports section in roscommon and part of it is a new year resolution section/something new for 2008. I have decided to include something along the lines of supporting an eircom league club for the year. As the paper is in roscommon i was going to focus on Longford Town, Galway United, Sligo Rovers and Athlone Town but i thought it would be better to expand it to include all clubs. No point limiting choice to four clubs.
So you might just state your club name at the top and fill in the blanks. feel free to add in more headings if i forgot any interesting ones.

Mid-Table mediocrity.
The Manager leaving in a hail of back-biting and controversy.
Financial Instability.

I'm sorry, but there are some assertions you just cannot let pass.
A game with UCD may be many things, but a Dublin derby it most certainly is not. :p

Why support us-Well in your case it's handy in terms of location. Plus, we play some good football, most of the time, under Paul Cook.

Sample of Chants-I know a man from Bognor Regis. We've got the best midfield in the world. and the old reliable...Na na na na, na na na na, ay ay ay Sligo Rovers.

Must see games in 2008 involving our club-Finn Harps, Galway and Shams.
