Now, now, let's be fair. It was Steve Clarke who was on the course with Humpty. Steve Clarke knew Jose, therefore, Jose is a friend of Humpty's. Simple as.

What about our glamour friendly in Flancare?

**Longfordian** · 18/01/2011, 1:00 PM

Not sure what's happened there, it mightn't have a date fixed for it yet. It could get slotted in after the Pats game maybe.

I'm told this game definitely isn't happening now. The costs would have been much too high for our liking, put it that way!

Athlone Town can't be that expensive - can they?

**Longfordian** · 21/01/2011, 11:43 AM

Sligo. They wanted 900 quid off us to play, presumably to cover their bus or whatever, so we called it off. If you added that onto the cost of the match officials it'd cost us a pile of money and we'd probably only get a couple of hundred out.

Ragin', was looking forward to FP again. Oh well, big club and that. :P

If ye can guarantee five hundred supporters down we might reconsider!

Will 50 do? About 4 of which give about the same price of 4 or 5 home Town games a year.

E900 to play a friendly?! That's a disgrace.

**poster** · 21/01/2011, 12:14 PM

Just disgusting Stu. Disgusting.

Could ye not just pay us under the table? We'd bring the table
