IFU Leaflets Promoting Pats v Bohs
Irish Fans United will be printing leaflets to promote the Pats v Bohs game this Friday, and to protest against Sky showing Chelsea v Man United on the same evening after we changed our games to Fridays to suit them. The wording is below (it will be laid out more attractively, with club crests etc).
We will be distributing the leaflets on Thursday and Friday in pubs, shopping centres etc. and possibly door-to-door in Inchicore, Phibsboro and the city centre.
We will decide on our print run later today, based on how many fans want to help with distribution.
If you can help, please let us know when and where and for how long you can distribute leaflets, how many leaflets you want, whether you would like to collect some and do them yourself or join with a group etc.
Based on the response, we will print the leaflets later today (Wednesday) and have them ready for distribution by about lunchtime Thursday.
You can leave a message here, or ideally email me at michael@happying.com
We look forward to a positive response,
Michael Nugent

ENJOY LIVE, PROFESSIONAL, IRISH FOOTBALL
In country after country, TV deals are destroying football. Here, when Sky wanted to broadcast live British games on Sundays, we agreed to shift our national league games to Fridays. Now this Friday Sky are showing Chelsea v Man United (Sky also have shareholdings in both clubs and are Chelsea’s media agents). Show that you care more about Irish football than Sky TV deals. Enjoy live, professional, Irish football this Friday.

Nobody calls it the Stadium of Light. Are you Pat Dolan in disguise?

IFU - Update on Leaflets Promoting Pats v Bohs
Two sets of leaflets were distributed yesterday promoting tonight's Pats Bohs game.
Andy O'Callaghan at St Pats was already organising a similar promotion in Liffey Valley, so IFU focused on the city centre.
I've just been talking to Andy, and both promotions got excellent feedback.
There really is a lot of potential for the future if we can get this going among all clubs on a co-ordinated basis.
In the city centre, we did mainly pubs and sports-related shops around Grafton Street/Stephens Green area.
Also taxis - without exception, every taxi-driver we asked took a bundle of leaflets to give to their customers.
And there are quite a lot of taxis queuing around Stephens Green on a Thursday evening!
The text of the IFU leaflet is published here in an earlier thread(based on suggestions from Pats fans, we changed the Pats top scorer to Paul Osam, as our first version was just based on league goals).
