The clubs space age promotional bikes will parade the town also distributing free team posters and spot prizes to the best dressed Drog fans en route.
According to Terry “this is a prefect opportunity to launch the clubs promotional strategy the coming season”. You don’t need to tell our regular supporters that League of Ireland football is played at a very high standard and this is backed up by the performance of our clubs in last year’s Uefa competitions. I see my main role at Club promotional officer to get this message across to the sporting public in our catchment area.
