Thats what has been done. There are some clubs without a supporters club so thats why i posted this.

Representatives have been contacted already, so there is no need to advertise. The reason i am posting it is because some clubs weren't represented at the last few, so just highlighting that.

No Shels fans / supporters groups or the club itself, were contacted about these fans forums for the previous 2 years. We ended up inviting ourselves both times despite the FAI been given contact details.

We expect to be ignored again

I know thats been done. Thats why I stuck in the "of course" bit. I didn't want some pedant asking why I wouldn't have contacted the supporters clubs...

I know its not your job a face, and I'm not having a go at you but surely if the FAI were serious about getting input from fans they'd make the effort to inform as many of them as possible

It's very difficult to remember to invite every single club in the league. There are a whole 22 of them. Or maybe the secretary who sends out the invites isn't aware of this fact.

Please tell me thats a sarcastic comment.

**John83** · 12/03/2009, 4:30 PM

I'm pretty sure it was sarcastic.

You can never be too sure when it comes to the FAI.

**Hairy Bowsie** · 12/03/2009, 9:27 PM

As bad as the FAI are you could easily be sure on this. Now if you'd have said you can never be sure when you've the brain capacity of a mouse, that'd have been more apt.

I'm going along and actually to put your mind at ease, Noel rang me yesterday afternoon to give me the details on time and agenda.

So fair play to him

**The Lep** · 02/04/2009, 5:59 AM

I'll be going

**A face** · 02/04/2009, 8:36 AM

Hopefully 2-3 Cork City fans going to it

**John83** · 03/04/2009, 2:31 AM

No volunteers so far from UCD fans. Most of the reliables are either out of the country or disillusioned with these fans' forums.

Probably too late now but its next to the National Aquatic Centre. If driving from Blanchardstown/Navan Road its the right next right you pass the NAC. i.e. field with hut with long road behind it - you can't see Sports Campus from the road. Look from the Sports Campus sign.

If I remember right, the sandwiches were triangular O'Briens jobs last year and a bunch of us agreed that the plain old hang and cheese spread the GAA would have put on was one of those areas where our stick fighting friends had the upper hand.

Any word from this?
