So what's the craic with the goals and highlights etc. How do we get to see them? Who shows them?

Right,
Just off the phone to them there again and they are going to send me an e-mail & I am going to have to reply to ask for the information we need.

Any suggestions are welcome, I'll send the e-mail at around 3 so put up what you need to know before then. Also, at this stage will I mention we are from boards and link the thread or something? What do people think? I can cc anyone in it by request - just pm me the e-mail you want it cc'd to.

Probably wouldn't link to this thread just yet if I were you, after all you called the guy a cnut at least twice that I can see.:pac:

rofl true that

Ask them do they cater for groups going to games, i.e. would we get the VIP treatment. Tour of the ground, meet the players etc.

Tell them to send us their past 10 Review of the Season DVDs so we can pretend we're lifelong fans when we go over! :pac:

jaykay74

suggestions for a dutch footie web forum to use.

maybe send him the thread link but edit it first so that he/she can see that you are not just messing with them and point out that the gae (y) is a joke (i think ) so they don't expect a bunch of lads who play for the same team if you get me.

Will do

Still no e-mail and it was a girl I talked to this time. I spelt out the e-mail address 3 times

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

This will wind up in a local Dutch newspaper. Seriously. Can you imagine what would happen if we cam across an avid bunch of Germans/French/Italians avidly supporting Finn Harps for no blind reason whatsoever?! It's make RTE!

Hummel make quality gear. Always love the Danish shirts they did.

Maybe we should contact the local newspaper and fill them in on our plans. Guarantee they'd run a story.

Fair play KaG, you really are fighting our corner well!

The trackie top is quality, really like that.

It's becoming obvious that you guys are doing this to gain some sort of celebrity and attention for yourselves rather than actually supporting the club, that kinda takes the shine off what was a good idea originally

Nope, that's only been mentioned with the last hour or so. Not the reason, it's called fun!

It has been my life long ambition to have an article written about me in a dutch regional newspaper, and if I have to hijack this good idea to achieve that then so be it.

I disagree with that totally but I like alot of the others think it would be fun if the club & town knew that there was going to be an army of Irish going over to one or two of their games in the new year.

Marc needs our support and we are going to give him it!

exactly tbh.....not going to get much popularity being mentioned in the Deventer times.

eeeh, I don't think so. celebrity out of this :D I know the rags are desperate but I think this would stretch it somewhat. I think people are just curious as to what will be made of a bunch of irish lads following their club. I wouldn't read any more into it that that.

/..runs off to get ready for film premiere in downtown deventer

I'm just letting you know how it appears to be developing, because you can't see it doesn't make me wrong.

Xavi6

Tbh Keith I don't think anyone really expects it to go down that road. I just was just a comment with how we here in Ireland would treat it. It happened a few years back when there was talk of that all Bosnian team joining the League of Ireland. Never happened but it was news for a while. Novelties usually are.

The main reason I like this is beacuse people can talk about one team without it (hopefully) turning into a bitching session. A bit of light relief if you will. I honestly don't see the harm.

You are wrong.

And It most certainly does make you wrong to say they are doing it for any sort of "celebrity" (i haven't quite figured out if you're taking the piss with this accusation).

Do you think supporting dutch second division clubs is the new x-Factor or Big Brother or something? strange strange strange accusation to make.

Its all a bit of fun tbh, i wasn't really into the idea, but i'll keep an eye on it and see how it develops.

You're right Neil there is absolutely no harm in this idea, it's a very good idea and I'll be keeping an eye with interest. I just wanted to point out that the enthusiasm should be aimed at going to a game first and foremost and the idea of contacting local press about your plans is a bit cart before horse.

Also, that zip top is damn sweet!

If it develops that way everyone will just drop the thing. I don't see it going that direction though. We are probably a bit starved of decent info at the moment though and games. what we need is for the game this weekend to come and more sources of info, match feeds etc.

E-mail sent ! I sent this to the Deventer tourism board and the G.A.E inbox lol. Chopper was the only one who wanted to be cc'd

Hello,

I am e-mailing you in regards to your football team the Go Ahead Eagles. A soccer community forum that we have here in Ireland has become very interested in the club and we just wanted to get some extra information about the town & team. I have called the club's commercial number several times asking for information but nobody has come back with an e-mail. We'd be interested in getting some information on the following as we do plan to visit Deventer on a regular basis which will benefit the club & town in regards to tourism revenue. If someone could possibly e-mail me about the following I'd be most grateful;


1 - Ticket information for the games.
2 - Would the club/town cater for large groups visiting to watch the games and would it be possible to meet the team/have a tour of the ground etc?
3 - Are any of the games televised and where can we find highlights for previous games?
4 - Hotel information within Deventer for when we are travelling over along with information on the nightlife etc.

I would be much obliged if you could supply the above information as we are a legitimate group of fans seeking extra information.

You can contact me any time by phone +353**** or +353**** or on this e-mail address.

I await your response,

Kind regards,

Craig Kinnear QFA

If they can't be bothered replying to an email offering support for the club what does that say for them providing tickets/merchandise?

What team was 2nd in the nomination poll?

Oh definitely. But if a trip is organised and booked then there would be no harm in it.

It's becoming obvious that you are opposing what is a very good idea to gain some sort of celebrity and attention for yourself here on boards rather than actually supporting the idea, that kinda takes the shine off the above post.

If there's a thread for Go Ahead Eagles can we start a thread on any of the following Indian football teams?

*Border Security Force SC (I often managed them back in the day of Sensible World of Soccer)
*Churchill Brothers Sports Club
*Mohammedan Sporting Club
*New Delhi Heroes
*Pune FC (my personal Favourite)
