Are there only 2,600 adults in the county ?Originally Posted by brianw82
My dad is one of the many used-to-go-every-week-but-haven't-been-to-a-game-in-years fellas.
Told him about the crisis, he read the papers about it, and wrote them a cheque for a substantial 3-figure sum.
If every adult in the county gave the same, we'd only need 2600 people to pay up.
Hey Patrick a little off topic but serious question what is Galway's attitude towards summer football? Would fans ( not just hardcore) rather it went back the to Winter or rather happy to leave it as a summer game?Are there only 2,600 adults in the county ?
There is a lot happening in Galway during the summer - Arts Festival, Races and generally both of the Gaelic teams doing reasonably well. The only competition in the winter is Connacht (rugby) who play on the same night as United.
There does not seem to be a demand to return to winter football from the supporters or from club management. However, we have a much larger catchment area than most EL clubs, so we are better equipped than many to withstand external pressures on our crowds.
Our attendances are mainly based on the performance of the team. We have a hardcore of only around 500 supporters. The rest come and go, depending on the division we are in, and what position on the table.
Going to have a little rant for a moment or two, if everyone can bear with me.
1. regarding the share drive, would it be possible to have a page on the official website with the application form to print off. A friend of mine had to contact the club and was told they would send one out. Lets try and make it as easy as possible for people to give money.
2. 400 club, does anyone know how this works, how to join or whats the story??
3. The €50 syndicate, if you dont live around Sligo where can you buy a line?
4. Player sponsorship, looking at a recent programme alot of our players are not sponsored. How much is it to sponsor a player? Is there too high a price on this? Is this why so many not sponsored?
5. Club shop, a disaster, went up before Derry game to buy home jersey for my son, only to be told that they were all gone, was planning on buying one for myself as well. This was 50 minutes before kick off. Wonder how many other sales were lost that day.
Firstly I'm not knocking anyone, but the club must sell these ideas to the public, its a product so sell it, but it must be simple.
Wolud suggest that the club have a page on the website solely dedicated to fundraising where people could access all the info. We live in an age where people are used to having information at their fingertips, and like it or not alot are too lazy to actually search out info.
If anyone has ever been involved in running any type of a club, you will know it is important to make every cent count, no matter how small the income will be it all adds up, from the sweet shop to the half time raffle. Only found out where the sweet shop had moved to two weeks ago. Always spent €4 or €5 euro there before a match.

I thought it would have been a good idea to send out info about the fundraisers(syndicate,quizzes,poker night) through the rovers text messages.
