I find it very funny that St.Bens charge fans to get into matches, yet there is no stand or any cover. No dugouts or anything and a fan could just watch while sitting on the ditch and not have to pay to get in.
Yeah the gate collection idea didnt catch on unfortunatly, still think it would be a great idea for every club, certainly every premier division club to charge at the gate, it would pay the referee's if nothing else. Thats life...Originally Posted by Leon

The point is BLUEANDWHITE, its a way of the few locals supporting the club with a small few quid, of course they could watch it from the road but the point is about supporting their club. I'll say one thing about St.Bens, at least they had cabins up for the players in their very 1st season back so they're making an effort. Theres Desmond league clubs without even that much even tho they've been around for donkeys years.

Good win for abbey b. Any report on Ncw v abbey, was it a good game. Broadford seem to be the team to beat
I totally understand the need to cover the cost of the ref and all but, don't you think you should save the charging of fans for higher profile games and maybe another year when the standard of opposition is higher. I know as much as anyone else the problems clubs have staying afloat financially, its tough. But don't you think letting fans in for free is a way of attracting more people to join the club and buy lotto tickets(financial aid).
Talking to Jerry Cronin the weekend. player that was sent off was James Quaid.
Our resident ncw player was badly at fault for carrigs fourth goal which could explain his absence round these parts.

Shannonside and Rathkeale should be a good game, all the other local teams have a good chance of progressing, playing away might make it a little more difficult. All the away teams to progress in reidy cup, same in hogan cup. Heard NCW and Abbey was good game with both teams having good chances, from what I was told NCW just about deserved the three points.
I would expect Broadford and Newcastlewest to progress in the FAI shannonside and rathkeale should be a cracker could go anyway....Ballingarry have a tough task away to Newmarket who should be pretty strong....i think Tralee will have too much for NCW Rovers
I was at yere match on Sunday Draper, I'll give credit where its due, ye seem to have a good team put together, thats probably the main reason you need to sell Christmas draw tickets if you get my hint. In fairness though ye played good football and could have won 12 2. The young lad on the right wing in the first half and the Shaughnessy lad were outstanding

I think its worth remembering, for all teams in title contention this season, Shannonside were an outstanding team last year, they had a great season, won their 1st 10 games on the trot, lost only ONE game all season long. Yet finished 2nd.
