Because we've been trying to do that all along maybe? Maybe if the club advertised their games a little better around the city they might have a bigger home gate.

I have nothing at all to do with the Galway500 but I'm absolutely staggered by the amount of griping that people are throwing at it. Are people really suggesting that we should only attend home matches rather than finance other clubs..

If we want to stop handing advantages to other clubs there's other ways to do it too. We could drop Can't Pass for starters...

Except support for the players and a better chance of three points. :ball:

TheLimerick:

You're a disgrace!!!!

Imagine wanting to support our team away from home. What's with that? Lets blanket ban coming to home games too. I'm sure the 500 that we hope will go away to support Limerick NEVER come to see our home games. I'm sure thay are completely separate crowds......

:rolleyes:

Danny Drew/Willy John/Whatever you're posting as this week: You really would want to apologise to the organiser if you want to retain any sembalance of professionalism when this is over. We can all agree that NOC isn't the best people person but I bet even he is appalled at your carry-on. Just think of how management and players view your actions - you're knocking people who are willing to use their Friday evenings to go up to Galway to help support a team who without being callous really need that support to encourage them after the recent debacles.

Fair play to ALL Lims supporters who were at the match on Friday. Especially those who wouldn't normally make it to an away match. There was never really much of chance of getting 500 but to get a few more heads there to support the blues on the road was still a positive. It's a pity that the Galway500 idea became a bone of contention to some, i don't understand it myself. Geting blues fans to show up bigtime for the lads out on the pitch at an away ground should be about SUPPORT not concerns over money. This was the first incentive of many not a one-off. Danny Drew and-or "samuel" needs to understand this. We are supporters, we support our team, we have supported our team, we will continue to do so. We make no apologies for that.
