    Fans Forum

    Dodge has suggested that we set up a board directly related to fans groups and more specifially this new FAI thing ... likely topics would be ticket distribution, ideas for displays, that sort of thing. I was thinking that something like this might be a good idea myself the other day, but to be honest I can't really gauge demand and I don't want Foot.ie to be seen as grabbing for turf either. The best people to comment on this are organisers like FourFiveOne and of course the fans, so I'm throwing this open to the hordes. Thanks to Dodge for the suggestions.

    Yeah I'm all for it Seriously though, it might be too late for these games but if this takes off, it'll be good to have a permanent home to co-ordinate things rather than individuals doing it haphazardly. If we, as eL fans, could speak with some sort of unity there'd be no stopping us...

    Possibly, but could we not just take over the National Team forum? Most users of that would be eL supporters anyway.....

    Yeah but the new board wouldn't have any discussion as to whther Kevin Kilbane is better than Stephen Reid, it'd be solely for the fans thing

    Yeah, why not. I've been a bit out of the loop regarding this (and I'm sure I'm not alone) so somewhere to get info on the whole thing would be a good idea.

    Jebus ... he was ahead of his time back then it seems. Big ideas for small minds (at the time, it is all changed now)

    Michael .... are you out there !!
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    I was just about to set up a dedicated Ireland section, with National Team and Fans Forum, but it got me thinking: can stuff like this not just be posted in the National Team forum? Isn't that where fans hang out?

    (There's an open offer for mailing lists on request by the way.)

    I don't go the National tem bit and am only interested in the fans thing (and believe me its totally different)... Can you PM with the details of your mailing list info and I'll see if I can swap over (didn't know you provided mailing lists)

    Maybe you should add a Fans Forums section in the National Team section for a trial run.

    Me thinks Fans Forums be totally different from normal international team duscussions.

    Fans Forums may even have more place in the eL section?

    what about a sticky fans forum thread in the national team section, a la the champions league one in off topic, and we can see how it goes from there?

    duno i think its own section would be the job
    especially as there are so many clubs (16) getting involved if there was a dedicated forum section then it might as the first to market kinda thing get the traffic and become the home of it for all clubs thus drawing ppl to the site like.. maybe the lads from soccercentral cud link to it then for future discussions / el fan 'gatherings' at matches

    thoughts ?

    Yeah, I reckon that's a good idea. If it gets fúck all traffic it can just be merged back into National Team surely?

    I thought this whole initiative was about improving support at national matches?

    Dodge, I set up a mailing list, you should have received instructions. The list address is fans@foot.ie, the user interface is at...

    http://billyfurry.beecher.net/mailman/listinfo/fans

    ...the admin interface is at...

    http://billyfurry.beecher.net/mailman/listinfo/fans

    I can't make the interfaces use the foot.ie domain name, because the list is on my dedicated mail server. I'll set up lists.foot.ie later on tonight if I think of it.

    We still need to resolve what we're going to do with a web forum though. As I said, I was going to split out a section for "Ireland", and put the fans forum in there, are we saying that's not right now?
