Well, I did (intentionally) omit the programme credits... :p

Good value for €2.50 IM(biased)O...

Last issue sold out, the previous few just a small number of copies remaining. I'd advise anyone interested in a copy to get one on the way in and not leave it to later...

Only a matter of time before someone accuses me of something...

Anyway, exhibit 'A' for the defence: the club actually decides the print run - not the Eds

do you really think that would stand up in a foot.ie trial?

[Ultan]

Sounds impressive, fair play award. I may break the habit of a life time on Friday and buy a programme at an away ground.
As a matter of interest, how many do you sell?

Thanks, Ultan - spread the word among the travelling party!

I could give you figures here on sales, but I think there was some reason in the past why they weren't quoted. Bizarre, I know. Maybe Bernie might give them, I dunno.

Not being evasive there, Ultan, but it's not my call.

Hardly, Joe! However, I am looking for another few exhibits, and talking to Gareth Pierce... :D

A paranoid Corkman? I don't believe it!! ;) :D

Ah don't worry about it, I was just curious.

[paudie]

I wasn't at the Pats game so was there anything in the programme about the report from the FAI licencing guy who visited the club.

In a previous programme they said there would be an item on it and hinted that the report was disappointing

None of us are paranoid, Ultan, no matter what everyone says ;)

Just been on to someone about it there sort of official, like, and they would prefer not to put out exact figures. It's their call, so as Ed I gotta respect that...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the read on Friday - if they're not all sold out before you get there! :D

Be interested in your views after you've seen it...

Safe travelling to and from the Cross, btw, but I hope we can squeeze the win out of it.

Fair Play Donie

I used always favour the fanzine over the programme before but now I buy both. They are both excellent.

To be honest I never thought 4-5-1 would ever get near NMPP but its closing in fast.
The programme is well worth the money, a good read especially as it saves us from Hit the Bar at HT

An excellent job, well worthy of our recognition.

Ta, razor - always great to hear from a convert ;) Thank God for Hit The Bar then, eh! :D

451 has been brill this season, IMO - gotta add that or James be on before I even post my reply...nah, in fairness, 451 is excellent this year - more varied now it's moved from the anti-Murph stuff, but that's just my view...

[niamh]

You'll have to get more demanding and prima donna like Joe ;)

The Scottish trip necessitated the smoking of cigars, Jerry was qualified.

In 15 years time when JOF is linked with a move to Kilkenny the junket is yours, Joe. Now that's fair enough....

more junk than junket, is it Jim?

[Jim Smith]

Imagine a place with all the character of an upmarket Gort :D

In fairness it suffers from being about 30 mins drive from Edinburgh and 45 mins drive from Glasgow. Its a 'why would you bother...' sort of place.
