Nice one. That's a bit of a start. Did you do that? The best approach though will be to contact the head of their courses. Hopefully in conjuction with some sort of group package deal you could get permission to offer of McNally. -

I pitched this idea( about attracting foreign students) at the time I went for the interview for the gig that Diarmuid got back in 2000.Originally posted by pineapple stu

What sort of promotions do the club partake in at the moment? Our average is down from last season. With our move to The Bowl coming up maybe a new marketing campaign would be a good idea.
Are posters still being put up around the college? Are posters sent out to anybody/anywhere outside of the college?
As was mentioned earlier in this thread we have a lot of south Dublin to target. I think the notion that it being a rugby heartland shouldn't be a problem. Soccer is extremely popular in the area and there are many schoolboy teams. The only problem would be if any of our games clashed with a Leinster game(eg Cork game). They got something like 27,000 for their match against Munster. Now I know that their attendences can't really be compared to ours because they are one of the best teams in Europe in their sport, but it shows that people would get off their arse on a Friday night to watch a sporting event- although it could have something to do with some of the best players in the world being on show. Anyway getting back to Leinster many of their home games are on a Friday evening, and most people with a choice would go with the rugger. Maybe a switch to Saturday nights(7.45pm) could increase our attendences, from a home and away point of view? Even the Saturday evening could work, if it was marketed and advertised properly.
There is so much potential in our fanbase, we just new to find the right ideas and ways to attract them to games.Comment

Posts about the capacity of the Bowl have been moved to the Bowl thread as they're far more relevant there.We're not arrogant, we're just better.Comment

Cothrom na Feine - That was a term the old Brathair de Barra was quite fond of just across the road from you lot, in Colaiste Eoin.
It translates to something like; Equal Justice or Justice and Equality.
The phrase was always used (in my experience) in the sense of giving someone or something a fair crack of the whip - multiple senarios, but basically to be fair with someone. Something UCD could probably ask of John Delaney methinks...

Cothrom na Féine just means equalityComment

Comhthrom féinne; no "na"Comment

It's a long time since I posted that. I thought I had since found out it meant "though your own efforts" though I don't have a significant level of Irish to translate it myself.Comment

That's what I thought as well, to be honest.
Féin obviously means self, while "trom" means weight, or effort.Comment

If this is any help there used to be a show on RTE called " Trom agus Éadrom" which meant Light and Heavy. The old badge is best for a number of reasons not least of which is the "juxtaposition of Latin and the First Official Language of the State". The new badge is only mildly less awful than the new FAI logo.
The old badge was classy and a great way to promote not only the club but The University as an institution. The new badge is crass and quite frankly too plastically tacky. Typically North American which means FUHRER Brady loves it
