Hi All,

How do I get FC Carlow onto the Club Section of the "A" Championship?

Post in Support would be your best bet.

Are there any other Carlow-ites on the board?

Last Season FC Carlow played in Tullow, Co. Carlow (Hawkins Lane, the Home of Parkville United FC)

This season as far as I know they will be playing out of Burrin Celtic FC, Ballon. The Village of Ballon is on the Wexford Road when heading out from Carlow Town before Bunclody

Sound. Have they any plans to develop their own facilities?

Pretty impressive poster above, looks like a big effort is put in to improve soccer in Carlow, and ultimately in the long term a place in the LoI. What have the crowds been like down there so far at the games?

**fcc2008** · 18/04/2009, 7:30 AM

the crowds havnt been great so far, but then again, neither has the weather ... just under 200 at first game, around 100 at second game ... the local media hasnt helped, in particular the main weekly newspaper has not given us much support ... getting the crowds is going to be a slow process, we knew this before the season started, we need success on the pitch to attract the crowds ... but we have some big games coming up and we are making a big effort to promote the club ... so hopefully we will get some good results, which in turn will attract more support

Any photos of the ground? What are the facilities like?

Would the location yez are playin also be a factor?
Ballon doesnt strike me as being a great location ( admittedly I dont know the football 'strongholds' in Carlow, so it may be a good location

)
