Is it really limited - like 500 copies - and so priced like that to justify the print run ?

yeah I believe so. they did something like that with history of the showgrounds. btw if I want to buy that Neal Horgan book how do I go about it as loved the 1st book?

It's not out until Saturday, but you'll be able to get it at http://sportsproview.com/product/second-city/, I'd imagine the club shop will be selling it too.

Yes, it is limited. The only way to get the limited edition is to put your name forward. Less than a couple of hundred of the limited editions. So pretty limited alright. For the limited edition you get: a hardback copy, your name printed in it and a couple or other additions (I think they will all be numbered, so its a limited edition set in effect).

Years of hard work gone into this. It will be a real encyclopaedia of all things Sligo Rovers.

Haven't heard anything about the Cork book.

'One Team, One Dream, Won Friday Night' by Brian Kennedy is out this Christmas.

Any others?

If its anything like his last one, factual inaccuracies.

In the photo launch of shels new kit, there is a pile of books on table alongside scarfs and the mannequin, can anyone tell me what book it is, would it be a history of Shelbourne FC ?

SHELS - A Grand Old Team to Know
https://shop.shelbournefc.ie/product...d-team-to-know

thank you
is that book on Athlone's 1920's cup win still available

Not sure who might stock it still. If you're on Twitter, you could try the author direct @tadhgcarey

"One Team, One Dream, Won Friday Night" will be released in March/April. It's 35 stories of 35 fans of 35 LOI clubs, past & present. This way you get the stories of lifelong fans of the club they love. All current LOI clubs have at least one item and there are also stories from clubs no longer in the league like Monaghan United, Kildare County,Newcastlewest etc. I'll be launching it in various clubs/venues around Ireland

The League have put out their own 66-page book this season. Mixture of photos, artwork and stories from both divisions, including by some forum regulars.
