    I believe somebody has approached the club looking to use Flancare as a base for one of these operations or something similar, they're talking about delivering orders to factories and building sites. Whether or not it'd be a success is open to debate but the club would get a rent out of it anyway
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Saw on sky sports today that Charlton are running a fleet of buses up to 80 miles away from charlton,in a bid to get more people to their games.Sounds like a great idea and would be well suited to us.Theres plenty of people who'd love to go to town games but have no way of getting there.Buses could run from town,edgeworthstown,ballymahon,granard etc and also out to the surrounding counties such as leitrim,rosscommon and westmeath
    If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

    honestly don't thinkits viable, when the same people won't get on a bus to an away game when they are laid on

    might not be that crazy an idea, there's a marked difference in travelling away and just into longford (Flancare), if only these people might indulge in pints before, during and after a game. Even charge the equivilant to pay for a bus and people might use it as a taxi into or out of town, subsidise it for real supporters.

    If it could be tied into the rural transport inititive, it might just be worth it. The club are going to have to lay on a bus into town to try and make the bar a success.

    don't forget in all of this that you have to strike a balance in taking money at the gate and providing an atmosphere to which the crowd and players respond to equally.
