    Forum nicknames

    Just saw there in the Premier Division and First Division indexes (indices? - I did Latin at school...!) that there are a couple of blanks still. To fill a couple - UCD (The Students), Athlone (The Bit O Blue), Kilkenny (The Cats?), Monaghan (The Magic Mons).

    Also, don't know if this is possible/really awkward/going to add anything, but would it be possible to personalise the club forums? Nothing fancy - just a small banner with the club crest (as per the avatars) and a heading saying "UCD on foot.ie" or something. Just to give it more of a club feel, I suppose.

    I've asked for designer to customise the forums before, no-one responded. It has to be a designer, I've seen what amateurs can do to forums on proboards and the like before, and to be perfectly frank I'd prefer to make myself vomit.

    Fair enough so. Their programme cover last year had "The Bit O Blue" on the cover.

    Yeh, the bit of blue was ripped off the name of the Sligo Rovers programme. Athlone - and Longford - always were The Town. Hate that expression the bit of blue.
