I am now Sports Editor for the independent DIT student newspaper and I'm thinking about putting in a piece on the el for the students. Something along the lines of fixture lists, etc.
Are there any clubs that do more then student prices to entice students to games? I would be willing to advertise any such promotions.
All clubs should respond, there's a lot of people from the country in DIT and they tend to go home for the weekends.
nothing in the showgrounds anyway, any students not from sligo would be gone back home for the weekend when we play anyway
We dont do student prices but the CITy supporters club do get reduced price tickets.
We have a student rate (just ask Sligoman :p) and our drink is cheaper than the pubs in town. Will try and see if can talk the chairman into giving you a voucher type thingy for a Mondog or something too.
is it for the whole of DIT or just a particular building???Quote:

Thursdays didn't help. I don't see why Mondays would be any different, apart from being an even poxier day for a game. Changing the day of games isn't likely to help attendances any more than changing from 12 teams to 10 in the premier division and back again. Much more fundamental work is necessary first.Quote:

This year we hope to get even more students into UTD with a few ideas already in the pipeline....such as a society or Club.
Not true , a lot usually stay here at the weekend especially after 1st yearQuote:

Isn't Monday our date with Noel Mooney, yeah?
UCD are letting first years in for free on Monday. Just need to bring their student card along with them.
No, Mooney's cancelled any direct involvement for the moment. He was originally going to help us with the Waterford game I think. Students will be given free entry to the Bray game this Friday.Quote:

Do you have to be a UCD first year or just a first year??[ i think i know the answer but might as well ask]Quote:

At City they don't do student prices. But I'm running the CITy Supporters Society and we're selling tickets for the Rovers game for €10 and CIT pay the other €5.
Great, thanks.
Fair play to CIT. Good work, Pablo.Quote:
