the one you got for bray would be good feo. we could vary bus companies, i have another one who i think would be interested. myself and rovers1 are not willing to deal with the one we used to get anymore!
the bus company going to Bray charge a fixed fee every time which means a trip to Waterford could cost €40+ each.
ah. how about thisQuote:

we usually get a core of at least 12-16 who want to go to games based in dublin or less distance.and oddly most of the time it turns out to be 15 or 16, so it wouldnt be a problem then as the price would be just about covered.if we were doing well we could build up some money and buses could then run to the games to cork[ x2] and cobh [ x2 i think] with anything left in the kitty if needed. say charging 15euro to harps and 20 to dub+galway+ derry. too risky?
im not sure about the one we got to bray, he has school runs on fridays etc and had to get someone to fill in for him that day so there could be a few complications here and thereQuote:

Athlone game moved to Monday, 18th Feb.
could they not have just cancelled the training instead, wont get as many people now anyway
What are the kick off times for the friendlies and are they all away from home?
there all away except Harps..Cook did this on purpose so that Rovers could get a bigger crowd if they have just one home game. bigger crowd = €
lawds what time are the game against collany and finn harps on at?
Coolaney-15:00. Harps-19:45.Quote:

a midweek friendly with manor rangers would be beneficial to both sides . considering they beat douglas hall who knocked cobh ramblers out of last seasons fai cup 4-1 away . the 3-2 result is the best result i can remember by a sligo leitrim side in the fai junior cup and they are now only one win from this years fai cup. congrats and best of luck to all involved
monday 7.45 i thinkQuote:
