Correct, it is part of the planning permission conditions to have car parking, it has to be surfaced too, which is a project which has to be done soon
no the cark park is more due to the fact that we have to have space fot 6,500 people to park, silly but true. i was told this when i enquired bout the idea of a filling station or truck stop cafe at flancre.....Quote:

Not too sure how viable a mobile cafe would be..any other examples of it being done?
all over the country.......maybe not by football clubs, but trucks are always looking for a place to stop for a bit of grub.Quote:

Well I did see Macy on the motorway making a few quid for himself :D ..I suppose I probably have seen one. It's hard to imagine people stopping just to buy something from a van though, or maybe that's just me not trusting anybody selling things from a van, Longford will do that to yaQuote:

I believe somebody has approached the club looking to use Flancare as a base for one of these operations or something similar, they're talking about delivering orders to factories and building sites. Whether or not it'd be a success is open to debate but the club would get a rent out of it anyway
Saw on sky sports today that Charlton are running a fleet of buses up to 80 miles away from charlton,in a bid to get more people to their games.Sounds like a great idea and would be well suited to us.Theres plenty of people who'd love to go to town games but have no way of getting there.Buses could run from town,edgeworthstown,ballymahon,granard etc and also out to the surrounding counties such as leitrim,rosscommon and westmeath
honestly don't thinkits viable, when the same people won't get on a bus to an away game when they are laid onQuote:

If it could be tied into the rural transport inititive, it might just be worth it. The club are going to have to lay on a bus into town to try and make the bar a success.
don't forget in all of this that you have to strike a balance in taking money at the gate and providing an atmosphere to which the crowd and players respond to equally.
defo and plans are afoot for this alreadyQuote:
