Best run club in the league?

**Poor Student** · 12/12/2006, 12:40 PM

Dman pointed this out in another thread and I was thinking the same thing. Considering Galway only topped us by a few points off the pitch and that geographic location and attendances were taken into account surely we topped the actual tangible controllable aspects which in effect are the running the club bits. That would make us the best run club in the league.

As atttendances were taken into account, it would suggest that you are (by a distance).

Cork City haven't released our off-field score, but I don't think we're what you'd call well run.

Attendances were only out of 70-ish, and Galway weren't actually that far ahead of us. They might have gotten 15 marks on us, which would bring them down to our level, I suppose.

However, we didn't have Genesis on our shoulders guiding us through the process.

Pats got full marks. I just checked with the club. We got a bonus star too...

Hats off to both UCD and Pats on how they run there clubs, it's the way it should be done, a bench mark for the rest of the clubs in the league. We do our best with the resources that we have and the good thing is the off the field were getting better and better by each season, hopefully on the field can follow suit

Best-run club in the league. When are we having our Galway-esque party?

who deserves the credit? is diarmuid mcnally is the only full-time administrator - what is his job title? what about richard shakespeare? others?

**Poor Student** · 12/12/2006, 1:50 PM

Maccer is Commercial Manager and Development Officer. He's the only full time staff and he's the one in the office in the Sports Centre doing the day to day work.

Get it right. It's Dick ****ing Shakespeare.

Schumi, the AGM can double.

Thanks,
Now if only clubs like Cork would stop holding the league back UCD could feach it's full potential.

The people of Dublin 4 don't pay in to see us loose to Cork.

I believe it's in a phone box on Trinity Campus. Bring your own Bodhran.

Fair play on being elected to the Premier league, I look forward to our usual wins in Belfield but not so much to our home defeats.

Hopefully we can improve on our poor haul of points against you in the first division.

I think Dodge was being sarcastic. He does that a lot.

Think Pat's got 364, as posted elsewhere.

Brendan Dillon was behind the presentation to the main, according to the Irish Times. The others were helping out, obviously. Even I supplied a picture of the League Cup Final to show how cool Belfield Park looked when it was full.

I think that last sentence should take quite a lot away from the IAG marks.
