QuoteI would but I dont think I would be interested in reading about the NI international team. In fact it would put me off it a bit.
I would subscribe each of the three years
I would subscribe at least once
I would like to subscribe but can't
I wouldn't subscribe at all
Would you subscribe to a LOI Magazine?
Just a question i want to put out there to gauge interest in this. Would you subscribe say €50 to a IL + LOI Magazine every year for at least the first three?
I say three years because that's the kind of support a magazine would need to get itself off the ground initially. So it would be €50 a year (probably less but just say €50 for the time being) for say a bi-monthly magazine that would cover LOI, IL, AIL (in whatever guise, the progress), International, Irish abroad, etc.
Lads, i know there would be a lot of support for this (and that would be welcome too) but if you couldn't subscribe then vote i would like to but can't. Its just to gauge actual subscriptions that it would get, so there is a cash flow to get it going.
If you flat out wouldn't subscribe, for whatever reason (you dont agree with it, wouldn't want to see it happen) then vote no.

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.

As long as it was a quality product I definitely would subscibe for 3 years.
Id definitely subscribe for the first, and if it was good quality then I would renew.
If it was a case of needing x amount of subscriptions for the 3 years to get it off the ground at all, then I'd do that alright
I'd sign-up, just to help get something going.
I'd be worred about the financials on it though. Can you clarify if bi-monthly means every other month or fortnightly ? If every other month - that's 6 issues a year for €50. Assume up to €1.50 per issue for postage, and that means a cover price of €6.83 per issue. That is seriously steep for a magazine.
I'd agree with Steve on this.Originally Posted by dcfcsteve
As I bought every issue of Irish Soccer Magazine I missed it when it bit the dust.

I'd definitely get it the first year.
I'd have to see what I think of it then though to be honest if it is just 6 issues as that would be steep. I'd probably go for it even then though.
Starved of eL coverage.
dcfcsteve spared my blushes on the whole bi-monthly thing.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
I meant every other month so thats six issues a year, obviously that is not set in stone.
Lads, i only pulled that price out of the sky. Put it this way if you were prepared to spend €50 then you'd be pleasantly surprised when signing up as i dont think it would cost that much either. Its just to get an idea of the genuine interest in it.

I don't think you're polling a representative sample of the eL fans here.
You can't spell failure without FAI
would it include bits on the first division as i feel the first division is neglected alot.
Do you mean that other eL fans wouldn't buy it?
Surely if fans aren't online and then this magazine is right up their street.

I would subscribe if there was decent coverage of the first division.
No, I don't mean they wouldn't buy it. I just mean that the percentage of people on here who'd buy it probably bears little resemblance to the total number of fans who'd buy it.
The fans on here may well be self-selected for devotion to their team - occasional fans are less likely to be on an eL message board. Also, people who click on this thread are probably more likely to buy the magazine than people who don't.
Just to emphasise again, I'm not saying it won't sell, just that the numbers in this poll are unlikely to be representative of the actual fans.

I voted that I'd like to subscribe but can't. I've never subscribed to any magazine and don't see myself starting now. It's definitely something I'd pick up fairly regularly, just a subscription would be unlikely.
I'd like to see it get off the ground. If the quality was there I might even subscribe eventually.

I'd subscribe if the first division was adequately covered.
Yes,
I subscribed to the ISM when it was out & I'd love to see a new mag - from my point of view I'd prefer more on the eL (& the IL) rather than players abroad.
and i can take-or-leave anything about the (southern - i've v.little knowledge at all about the nornIron team) national team - as long as it remains a team of ex-pats (no players living/working&born here) then i'm not interested in following it.
First Division coverage please.
And I don't mean tokenism either!!
I'll only subscribe if the first division is ignored*

good idea, wouldnt be hard to include what 4-5 divisions, and two national teams, you have to apeal to everyone north and south, the EL is missing something like this i suggested a few months ago to have an EL annual, to be realeased in feb each year for the up coming season, with interviews from players club members and CPOs, all this could be included,
good idea, if you do go ahead, will it be out this year
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
There already is - the past couple of years the eL have given an annual free with the Star about a week before the league starts - its fairly decent.
also the PFAI do one that is free with the Mirror around the same time - its decent too
Between the two you get a reasonable amount of stats, interviews & predictions for the season
