Title: Man of the Match Fund Raising Idea
Post by: RockyRobin on July 31, 2009, 09:14:43 PM
Last Sunday I was at Barandywell Stadium to watch Derry City v Cork City which by the way was like watching alty v Vics strip wise.

However with about 10 mins to go the tannoy announced that you could text vote for your man of the match with the chance to win a signed football etc.

All you did was text "Derry 10" to 55555 (number made up for US movie fans)

Might be worth looking in to?

Derry looked useful, not far off Conference level to be fair, the crowd was 2,500 and the drums were excellent; never thought I would say that! However they are rather practiced at them....... ::)

Well not having watched much League 1 I'm not sure.

They both played some quality football on the floor but I found the forwards a bit lacking that night.

That said Derry had just put out Skonto Riga during the week and were looking at CSKA Sofia last night (0-1 in Sofia) so you have to say L1 is possible but on the night I had them down as L2

I'm just upset we just missed out on seeing Finn Harps on the saturday night due to drinking commitments in Strabane.

It's quite a good idea that...I remember seeing the same thing with a cash prize at a Champions League game in 2007 between The New Saints & Ventspils of Latvia.I'll do a bit of ferreting.

That's two Alty fans watching The Candystripes in two games...Andrew Shaw was at the game against Skonto Riga.
