It's not on their interest though. Well, let me clarify that : A number of these SCs are headed up by people who very much enjoy the close relationship they share with the dear leader and the associated power their position brings them. They will not entertain anything that will change that.

An just to be clear, I'm sure there are a number of SCs that aren't headed up by people like that. 


Sure when you have Ballybrack inviting Pat Hickey Jr to the inauguration of the club and Finnegan in the London Club inviting him to their birthday party what hope do you have.

You just hope that these fellas fall away quick once Hickey Jr is shafted when hes indicted in something

Its the decent well managed SC's that should stand up and bring this matter to their next agm. The sham sc's are giving them a bad rep with independent fans who outnumber them greatly.

49000 Irish fans in Lansdowne the last day. Maybe 1500 in supporters clubs?

A rare breed thankfully

Best place to to bring anything to the table is the AGM which all are invited , now this is not due until next year but i will ask the question .

Thanks murph. If SC did not have priority access to tickets over the rest of us I wouldn't have a problem joining a SC. As long as they have priority access I won't be joining. That's nothing personal against any SC

that Dublin club are a complete joke show, shafted the clubs in the north for years, in particular for euro 2012. The clubs up here had to apply for tickets through them, They give one club 2 tickets per game for the group and sorted out their mates. The fact that that club have at least 15 members who go to every away game and never had problems prior to the tournament didn't matter at all. If the confederation has any balls they would investigate the running of the Dublin club. What is the point in a club from Dublin also?

Tickets.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

The main problem with that club now is that they are all fckin old codgers, absolutley no new blood has joined, in fact people have just not bothered even going to meetings anymore, have heard of rumblings from some involved but nobody will go forward and and challenge the committee they are a law onto themselves

I was a member of this club for a number of years and they were always complaining about new members not taking an active role. When some members I know enquired about helping out they were never encouraged. I had issues with them regarding ticket allocations and walked away. I now have 3 season tickets on my account same seats and I have had no hassles dealing with the fai directly.

I am sure there are some very well run supporters club around the country but I would never encourage anyone to join the dublin club.

I know of a lad who got nominated onto the committee a number of years ago but told me it was a waste of time as he was never invited to committee meetings or they just didn't occur.
