Lets get behind the lads!!

Wednesday is once again a crucial time in bray wanderers season. A win a we're up. So i call on all bray fans on this forum to come over to the shed and really sing your hearts out for the team, the encouragement will really boost the team and its a real buzz when you see the players reacting to the noise. Towards the end of college match and throughout the sligo game the atmosphere was great, plus down in kilkenny a massive 10 people could be really heard.So come on, be loyal, and lets really get the carlisle rocking on wednesday...

Limerick FC .............................26 3 4 19 12 47 -35 13

* Athlone/Monaghan deducted three points

I'm presuming that its three up and one down with no play-offs ?? I could be wrong, and if so corrected I stand, but how does a one more win put ye up. According to the tables a win gives ye 59 points, seven ahead of Kildare who will have 7 games (21 points) to play for, possible total of 73. Galway too will have seven games and could conceivably reach 64 points.....Explain how 59 points guarantees ye promotion??

Your right Joe, it is 3 up and 1 down.

What i think they mean is that it nearly assures Bray of going up, it will leave us 7 points clear of kildare, meaning we would have to lose 3 and they would have to 3 win, most likely not going to happen! seeing that we have matches against Athlone, Dundalk, Monaghan, Galway and Limerick way all to come, which we should take all points form, and at least draws from kildare and harps.

**KR's Post** · 05/10/2004, 3:15 PM

Spot on Roo69. We aren't mathematically assured of promotion but as roo says a win versus our nearest rivals and with a few handy games( i don't like saying that) to come, we surely are not going to slip up!!! As for the support... Pack the shed. jacks doing his best to get the crowds, now we really need to sing for the full 90 minutes. Also i do hope there is a reasonable amount of people going to harps game. anyone on this site going????? Role on wednesday

yep i understood what you meant by it.. just messing!!!

**footballplease** · 06/10/2004, 2:39 PM

one question - why havent we heard anything about this game around the town??
There is a huge catchment area for the club and i for one, as a south Dublin Bray fan consistantly hear f**K all about upcoming games, etc.

Marketing??? Give me a break!

I hear ya brother !

But it is very diffucult to promote these games with absolutey NO marketing budget what so ever ! We have tried as best as we can to advertise all our games through posters, the net and word of mouth. We also recentley done a deal with Shop-a-Round, the till reciept people who advertise special offers on the back of reciepts you get from the likes of Tesco, Supeerquinn etc..... We also have big signs up at all the roundabouts coming into and going out of Bray advertising our next match.

P.S
Good to have another Wanderers fan on here !

**footballplease** · 06/10/2004, 3:14 PM

Yes, i saw that sign at the roundabout coming into Bray. An idea that was coming for about 6 years. This is an old chestnut, but the club could have built on the success of the 2000/01 season instead of retreating back into it's 'we're a small family club' attitude. Us fans who are not part of the 'clique' find all this very frustrating.
It is the small family club attitude that has held the club back for many years. I understand the lack of finance being an issue but ideas cost nothing!!
A prime example is the club strip - Who the hell was consulted about the change from the traditional stripes???

This has only served to p**s people off.

End of rant

**exile** · 06/10/2004, 3:45 PM

there is always advertising on east coast fm heard two today a bit chessy though

Don't even start joe soap... My nerves will be through the roof on friday. but harps do have to play kildare so it could go either way for us.
