Anniversary of Bayern Munich Game.
Am I right in thinking that the 10th anniversary of the bayern match is coming up? If so there should be some small event to mark the occasion as it is one of our great moments.
I came back from Scotland for the match and I'll never forget the noise from the crowd after the goal. It was more like a shriek of disbelief mixed up with an orgasm of joy rather than the normal crowd roar.
Dowtcha Davey should be presented with a box of choclates or something similar at the home match nearest the anniversary date.
I also note that another great hero from those days Gerry McCabe is now available for managerial duties. One for the future maybe?
Another interesting reflection from those times is the almost permanent disaffection between supporters and board of the club. Those were the days of Plonk and the big issue at the time was the cost of a ticket for the match £8 for terrace I think. Loads of people stayed away in protest and I think there was only 5 - 6,000 at the match. While communication with supporters and the implementation of the Bishopstown saga was a disaster, at least it could be said for him that he had some vision and ambition. I think when you see how a proper job can be done for example at the greyhound track in combination with the completion of the southern ring road to Ballincollig it could have been a runner. Anyway this is old ground, the main thing is to have some celebration of a major success in our history, the day we held the mighty Bayern Munich to a draw in European Competition.
