is is still true that for the rest of his life Leeson must give 50 cent out of every euro earned to Scotland Yard.
some fundraising idea at the galway races tonight in the spanking brand new "Killanin stand" by gufc, must have been 50 tables at 3k a pop. Ian rush, Half sunderland,Stan, Pat Devlin, hector, Charlie hurley, Martin Keown to mention a few. Must have raised 100k for the club. How times have changed GUFC are operating at a different level than the majority of clubs with their commercial activities at this stage. Leeson is only beginning to get into his stride and im sure we will see the benefit of this incredible commercial clout over the next few seasons

Lads you may take the pi$$ but how many of you would like to have him as your CEO at your club ???????? As we all know the man knows what he is doing at Galway United and the club is on the way up .
What race was Keown running in?
Roddy Collins, the biggest <insert as appropiate> in Irish Football.
Credit due, Leeson is dojng things now that the rest of us would love - he probably turned Sunderland game from 100k to 300k. For a club without a moneybags chair it is the way go.
Let's not get carried away.
The revenue from this gig is nowhere near the figures quoted.
Nick Leeson deserves credit for dovetailing the Sunderland visit with the Galway races and making some money for the club into the bargain.
Corporate hospitality at the races is not new. Longford GAA made over €200k at Punchestown in April. The Fianna Fail annual gig is the stuff of legends now, but this was Galway Uniteds first attempt. It may well be a one off, but fair play to Leeson for seeing the opportunity and doing his best to make the most of it and the most out of it.

Less Moaning
What are YOU doing to make it better?
As far as i am aware he must only pay over a percentage on money he makes off his Barings episode. Thats why he wanted to get a proper job and how well has he done!

No way Martin Keown paid his part for a table. That Keown family in galway (martins uncles) are famous for how tight and mayne they are

Ther is plenty of efforts going on throughout the city, but when we organise things we dont come on forums looking for a backslap, we just get on with it , just because ye were a joke of a club for years and then got yer act together two or three years back you think your a big club, dont make me laugh.
Ok fair enough.
