Just a little update on the LOI book which is now almost finished . Having got my wish with the title I'm now trying to come up with a good solid picture for the front cover. I have a couple which I've bought but ideally i suppose I'm looking for something maybe funny/dramatic which involves supporters and the bright light of a floodlight pylon. I have a brilliant photo of fans on the roof of dalymount in 1985 but its an Ireland game so might not convey the message of an LOI book.
Just said I'd post here as the publisher is willing to pay for a good photograph.
Should you have one-or can point me in right direction I would be very grateful.
Brian
Brian,
a couple of suggestions.
1) Try the history thread on this forum. There might be something in there.
2) Also, it would be worth visiting most of the individual club forums and asking. I know that you would get a great reaction to such a request on the Bohs forum and we have some avid photographers on there.
3) wait for people to post here i suppose!!
Looking forward to getting my hands on this book by the way!
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Thanks Sk.
great photo, not sure if its exactly what youre looking for but worth posting. Maybe contact Peter O'Doherty who took that photo and others.

Fair play Stu, that's a great photo.

I was going to post that middle picture up Stu, Great photo, Think it would be a great cover
Best of luck Brian, I look forward to reading the book
Here on a technicality.
That first photo is quality Skstu.
I think the first one is great . I had this idea if I could just superimpose the shadow of a guy sitting on the roof watching the game it would make it that bit more dramatic!
Well thanks to Pete I now have permission to use the picture and am really going to push for this as a cover - yes also a good idea partysaint
Wonder would a daytime shot (except this time with a fan walking towards ground) be as good.
I have that picture in the daylight and snow as well, though there's no way you'd be going to a game!
I agree. Think of going to a ground a way you've never gone before, for a Friday night game, not really knowing the way and just looking for the floodlights. Try to capture that feeling of anticipation/excitement and don't worry about all this 'having fans of all ages' cliche.
There's also a ground guide within the book (as I've visited 15 of the 21 now) and the "Mon-Dog" gets a special mention for the best value, and tasting hotdog around!
