Just thinking about this today - do your clubs put together Christmas promotions as possible Christmas presents - things like a jersey & scarf promo (just an example ).
I would have thought that in the off season it's a real opportunity for clubs to get income.
Or is it a case of it literally being the off season and clubs take the foot off the peddle .
I only ask as I'm hoping drogheda have something (hence my train of thought ) I was away last few Christmas so don't know what they usually do.

The focus tends to be on selling season tickets and making sure the new season shirt has been launched.
Drogheda very cleverly launched their new shirt at the cup final. Great promotion. I would imagine that one will sell well in Drogheda for Christmas.
Getting a Jersey out should be top priority for the Christmas market, followed by season tickets.
Would be good to see clubs do a deal on Season Ticket + Jersey for a certain price.
Our club shop has 10% off for Season Ticket holders which when you buy a few items i.e Jersey, Hoddie, Polo Shirt together can take a nice few quid off it.
There was also a back to school offer in the club shop, Limerick FC crested back pack, pencil case, ruler and an eraser as a bundle from what I can remember.
Drogs always have the drogs shop stuffed with christmas stuff, the new jersey and season tickets.
What is the consensus on the new shirt?Originally Posted by MiniMourinho
It's a big change from the classy plain claret shirt this year. I think it looks pretty good but stripes are not to everyone's taste.
Great too hear - I'll be turning up with a pocket full of cash. Even getting my five year old a season ticket
Whitehorse I like the new jersey but I'm not sure I'd casually wear it (ie when shopping) as the strips are a bit loud (IMO) - id wear it to games and playing footie.

That's the sort of thing I was thinking about. The back to school is a nice touch too (speaking as a daddy lol)
It's difficult for most clubs to have their jersey out in time for Christmas as changes of manufacturer and sponsors are so frequent and may not happen until later in the close season. On season tickets- again this can be difficult since it's not entirely clear what shape the league will take next year.

Yeah but surely clubs could be selling €20, €30, €40 or €50 season ticket vouchers??
The drawback being, are clubs disciplined enough to budget this money or does it go into a black hole therefore you still don't have a "pot to **** in" by the time the season comes around.
I'd love to know what kind of fundraisers are LOI clubs holding this time of year? Im sure most clubs could do with more than a few quid to help with licensing.
I think it's... OK. Prefer the plain shirt.
A guess the number of clubs in the league competition?
It'd be great if clubs could do offers on season tickets, but it's so up in the air, how can they? We could be in a 7 team 1st, an x number of team first, a 19 team premier. And that's before Licencing!
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Season Tickets for Xmas ..... Sell shirts for the start of the season.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
