    Just Follow The Floodlights

    Just an update that Just Follow The Floodlights will be launched in various cities throughout Ireland over October.

    Currently trying to find a suitable Dublin venue (if not a footy ground itself) Not to sure of where - basically a good sports bar , cosy that does good trade and central. Any suggestions will be most welcome as I'd be looking at a Friday or Saturday night mid-October.

    The players lounge?

    Just kidding.

    My favourite sports bar is The Lotts Snug but waaaaay too small.

    Eh, MacTorcaills, The Old Stand, Nesbitts, McDaids, Kehoes?

    Whats been suggested is Doheny & Nesbitt, Grand Canal Bar, Arlington Hotel (to which I said no) and of course it could be a football venue on night of match. I think places like the Aviva are a non-starter

    Yeah Nesbitts could be an option but to be honest, personally I'd rather die of thirst than willingly head there for a sports occasion.

    Not that my presence would have any bearing on the venue.

    Donoghues on Merrion Row?

    Id say pick a match night and use the local bar. Club bar in Dalymount, Maldron in Tallaght, McDowells in Inchicore.

    Whatever night suits you best

    Maldron is interesting as is Bohs ground. Suppose it would have to be a match night. Rovers v Bohs would have been perfect but the semi-fibals of FAI Cup is on.. mind u if they both got knocked out?

    More importantly i'm hearing the Cork launch is in the Evergreen Bar on Friday 21 October, immediately after our game against Longford Town.

    I had my launch there last year, great venue and I will certainly be in attendance to support this book.

    Cheers Razor. Yes been told its a great venue. Damien Richardson should be launching it and I'm trying to get as many ex-players there as possible. The Galway launch has a nice little link-up with the 1991 squad, whilst Waterford and Dublin ones have special guests as well. Just tying down a midlands launch now if possible.

    Probobly better to use LOI owned premises, (I think Pats own Mc Dowells now) - support our own and all that . Having it after a Bohs/shams (Phibsboro or Tallaght) game probobly not a great idea as your audience would primarily consist of Gardai as there is little chance of opposition fans allowed to mix unfortunately.
    If you are interested in having the launch in Dalymount (either on match night or some other night) PM me and I will put you in touch with apprpriate person. Good location for some publicity photos and fairly near town (although there is still no direct bus from Tallaght)

    Horton if I get enough interest I would be in Derry like a shot. Really enjoyed my time there (I travelled to all 21 grounds in three months- 2856 miles!) and would just need a venue.
    The publisher washes his hands of these events (hes paying for the book I suppose) but if I knew a venue (maybe the Social Club) where I could unload 30/40 books I's be there in a shot.

    Mr Maroon the Galway Launch is in the Goalpost October 15th .

    MarinoBohs - Dalymount I've seriously considered but the publisher/publicist want to hold off until the FAI Cup Q-finals. I agree with what your saying about the crowds.

    McDowells is a good option to- and they'll be one in Monaghan or Longford if I have my way

  21. Thanks From:
