I would just like to make a point on the Leagie of Ireland Under 20 League.
Personally, I think it's poorly publicised by both the governing body in this country, and by the National Media. Now, I don't know how many people on here go to their sides Under 20 games. Unfortunately, I've only gone to a few in a few years, but I would personally like to see it promoted better. After all, we are talking about the future players at our clubs.
What do people think ?

one step at a time
We had almost 200 people at our Under 20's opening game of the season last Wednesday, that was purely by word of mouth. We had a cover charge of €5 at the gate too and nobody had a problem with it.
I do believe the other teams at each club should be given equal attention by the fans. They are fans of Dundalk FC, Bohemians FC, Derry city FC, etc and not Dundalk first team, Bohs first team and Derry first team. It is a club and not just a team imo.
I also agree the publicity at each club could be done better, better media use and signage would be a start.
Unless you get a certain local paper or listen to your local radio station you will not hear a mention of your local sides upcoming home game.
Some clubs don't even have reports of underage games or even acknowledge their underage sides.
agree completely with this statement.Quote:

also, have to complement our webmaster who has reports on games from u12 c team all the way up to the eircom league team
