Help me sell your club

Hi lads and ladies,

didnt't know what to put in the thread title so that'll have to do.
i am doing a christmas review for my sports section in roscommon and part of it is a new year resolution section/something new for 2008. I have decided to include something along the lines of supporting an eircom league club for the year. As the paper is in roscommon i was going to focus on Longford Town, Galway United, Sligo Rovers and Athlone Town but i thought it would be better to expand it to include all clubs. No point limiting choice to four clubs.

So you might just state your club name at the top and fill in the blanks. feel free to add in more headings if i forgot any interesting ones.

Why support us.......

Player to watch.......

Sample of Chants......

Expectations for 2008.......

Must see games in 2008 involving our club......
