Road Signs

sorry now lads, but as i said earlier in this thread marco has asked for help before and a few people were more than happy to look good here and volunteered to help him out on several occasions, but no-one turned up, maybe he should just waste more time asking here, plan work for the 4 or 5 voulunteers only to end up doing it all by himself, if poeple are willing to volunteer they have to actually turn up, this place is full of ideas but out of the 30-40 ideas in the past year the only thing we followed through on was gutsie sponsorship,

If people volunteer then don't turn up then that's bad form. To not actually ask though and then moan that nobody offered to help is a totally different ball game...

marco has asked beofre in several occasions, he didnt this time but tbh i dont know why he bothers anymore, i wouldnt even bother after the first and second failures,

maybe he should just post up every week for the next month on things he needs a hand with, and he can then report back who helped him and who promised to help him,

people are very quick to add there names to look good

when your getting paid to bring crowds to st colmans putting signs up should be done by the cpo, that for me is the number one way to get the crowd, and should be top of the priorities weekly to-do list

Hit the nail on the head

**bellavistaman** · 08/05/2008, 9:52 PM

Especailly when undoubtedly it was the biggest crowd cobh has seen in years, they reckon their wss 20,000 people in cobh sunday for the ship, now thats a extra 8,00 that came in to cobh, via the fota rad and the ferry, and they see signs from 2 weeks ago saying cobh playing ucd, first all if it was an up to date sign and we actually were playin ucd they mightnt pay too much atttention, but one of the big attractions of rams season bohs, people would come to see them not us, but at least they'd come like. Massive oppurtunity missed here, and being honest ****in criminal to miss such a oppurtunity

**depor** · 08/05/2008, 9:56 PM

ya your right, but the worst part is that this has been happening since the start of the season so people are immune to the signs i.e they dont look after the tenth time seeing out-of-date fixtures like ucd for 3 weeks, they just assume its not updated. its just a natural thing like the road work sign in the ditch for a year, no-one pays attention.

exactly right, a great opportunity was missed and the buck has to stop somewhere

I'm not disputing that. All I'm saying is it's a bit rich to moan that nobody would've helped when you didn't actually ask. Maybe no-one would've offered again Marco I don't know, but to assume that they wouldn't and use it as an excuse is amateur.

signs are up nice and early this time , hopefully lessons learned

**rambler14** · 17/05/2008, 6:19 PM

Maddens window looks good aswell. The town will be full again Sunday with the crowd in to see the Independence of the Seas so as you say ramsfan "Lesson Learned"

a pity there isnt a game scheduled when the liner is in town , the gaa did a kind of expo last time pity there isnt a prem league game on where you could advertise at boat and have a kind of game plus entertainment ticket for passengers youd be surprised how many would leave liner and go and do something local

very good idea actually, should look into the dates marco, if they clash, it would be a fantastic opportunity
