Sorry now but you seem to have missed my point. the lads who organised it are not on this forum it is the fans who are praising them. It is not self praise.

Not being funny but shouldn't this be in the Galway section then? If it's just for you lot to praise whoever organised it for your club? If it's in the Eircom League forum then it's fair game for Tis-smeee to have a pop about Galway fans back slapping each other in my opinionOriginally Posted by Tir Oilean
Calm down. Fair play to any club that makes any extra money in a country where the vast majority of people think the league here doesnt exist.
KOH
Thank you Jebus
think alike. Lads the only reason i put these comments up is so that every other club could come up take a look at these events, talk to the leesons ask them how they do it, go back to limerick racecourse or tramore whatever try similiar ideas, stop ffn moanin and begrudging and every club in the league will do itself a favour and stop blamin the fai, fairweathers, man utd fans, the gaa, the ruggers for their woes and beggin bowl mentality. Maybe then maybe your tide of misery may turn. Supporters give out a lot and when credit is due its only right people get acknowledged for setting benchmarks. GUFC promotions officer is another example of how to do things
Yeah Galway is Great we have never held a race day in tramore nor even thought about it, thanx for your guidance, the league would be lost without your inspirational leadership
Sounds like GU got it right on this one. Are there examples from Tramore/Limerick or other places where good/new/novel idea's have been used? What Leeson has done is to attach the GU brand to Sunderland's and gotten a few business type's to cough up the readies to watch bad horses, consume a dodgy meal, and hob nob with "personalities". Seems like credit is due for that - anything that helps to promote our game, and puts much needed cash into the game.
BTW - I do not approve of the beer tent being constructed for the game - that's short sighted, but the corporate gig in Ballybrit is something that other codes have used successfully in the past.
Yes there is certainly examples of it down here anyway and is that not what leeson is paid to do?Your really starting to turn me off gufc tbh
The GU brand, ffs, everything wrong with the typical Galway supporter in one short sentence.
As for Geezer, I'm sorry if I upset you in your metropolis from my small townbut all I said was that tis-smeee was entitled to comment on this since you posted it in the eircom forum, and not the galway one, but i suppose whatever I say these days, no matter what it is, is enough to bump me higher on Galway's Obsessive-Hate list
You must be joking, I'm the Michael Collins to their British Intelligence, they go through photos of Limerick fans hoping for some clue as to who I am so I'm hardly going to step out in the open like that, even if it involves cake
Well done Galway.I would agree they are going about their business better than most if not all.The new type of punter wont come for just the love of the team like we all do.They need to be sold on the idea particularly if you are trying to attract families.Gates of over 3000 for a team that never wins at home speaks volumes for the people selling the matches as an event.
How can anybody say they are not interested in how they have done it when its clear most of our clubs are struggling?
Now just get rid of Hector, hes awful annoying
When Hector stood up to speak, GUISAigon shouted "it's the poor man's Tommy Tiernan"Now just get rid of Hector, hes awful annoying
Now, back on topic. For years, GUFC were selling £1-a-line draws and 50p half time raffles to win a bottle of yellow pack Plonk. There was little accountability and players often fled akin to rats on a sinking ship.
The new Board have brought the Club to a new level. Every year, the Club organise:
The Famous Fives whereby Irish and British soap actors play in a five a side competition
There's a Black and White Ball (2k per table) and this year there were 70 tables. Mario Rosenstock was guest speaker...

There's an inter firm Golf outing.
Look at http://www.galwayunitedfc.ie/events.html
There's also the United Air where the Club fill plane loads of locals from Galway Airport to games in Glasgow, Manchester, Sunderland etc including transfers, corporate facilities, hotel, etc etc
And now, there is the Galway Races. There were 109 tables at 3k a pop. I was at it this year and I will got there again next year.
That's not to mention the advertising revenue that the Club is bringing in. The new stand is to be plastered with logos from the Star not to mention advertising on both sides of the jersy and and on the shorts.
But is Waterford can make a few bob from selling cakes, more power to them.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
WE'LL see whose the big club Friday night. Dont fancy yer chances in the playoff against cobh either!
id roll out the red carpet for you at terryland and any lims fan who wants to put a stop to making the eircom league the poor man and his dog sport in ireland. I wasnt at the match tonight as i am preparing for waterford on friday and tbh im nervous about it. I also bought a good number of €50 tickets and gave them to galway people who didnt know where terryland was as long as they brought their kids and see for themselves the quality of el teams and facilities. my own form of promotion and some of them kids just might want to come back. Add in the work that GUST members do all year round standing in shopping centres flogging merchandise, season tickets and lotto jebus than one day it could click with the die hard LOI supporter who sniggers at the barstoolers. We may even convnce you start with a "DVD" showcasing what your club,city/county has to offer
Yes BB definitely OTT - bit like your sorties in the media really
I heard you were quite a decent footballer. So fair play, but no need to hammer supporters and benefactors who aren't afraid to express their feelings for the club on a club forum.
Less Whining
Less Moaning
What are YOU doing to make it better?
No they were all wondering what the score was B.B..
We are the Galway Boys Stand up and make some noise"
