Could We Start A Training Fund With What Supporters Have Saved To Date

(Oldest Posts First)

Tomsmith here

I just wonder would it be possible to start a training fund for our majestic team that has done us proud ( grown men crying while being interviewed on the Television after the Ulster final). Never was an Ulster final won against all odds. Youse have done us proud. With that in mind I am suggesting that we start a training fund with what we supporters have saved .
Look no trip to the Monaghan game no programme or eats
No trip to the Down Game no programme no eats
No trip to the Armagh game no programme no eats
No trip up to Dublin no tolls no programme no eats

That is surely a substantial saving on supporters, I dont know how / what value you could put on it .

Fully agree lets get started , The usual Church gate collection option is no longer available neither is a bring and buy sale or indeed auction a Heifer was a big money raiser for many people with Marts sort of closed it would be ano go .. I just dont know how to get it going. If Public Houses were open these would be a great starting point. What about Post Offices on a Friday ?
Just a few ideas have you anything better to offer

the County Treasurer could open a special bank account and invite the supporters to lodge into it. As an old age pensioner l am prepared to put a three figure sum into it because Sunday's win has done more for my well being than all the pills l have swallowed in the past years. COME ON THE BLUES.
By the way l have complained to Croke Park about the standard of refereeing on Sunday.

I would normally respond to your caustic/comedian remarks on this except l not this time. I my opinion if one had to run treads by someone for content and correctness very few treads ( 124 case inpoint) would be posted. I have to commend you on your spelling but grammar ough. I just say get a good friend to read your post before pressing the send button

Sorry "Tom", with all due respect I don't really understand the meaning of your post. I honestly don't.
It's just strange to me that you never actually comment on the actual football or congratulate Cavan on playing well or point out where we went wrong as regards tactics or stuff like that.
It's always these wacky threads that you start up about Cavan Gaels or other controversial posts with deliberate bad spelling and grammar.
I have to admit that I find some of it amusing though.
Everyone knows you are a troll Tom.

I take it your comemt is just made in jest to Tomsmith who supported Cavan Gaels in good and not so good time. Tomsmith is atrue and loyal supporter of the greatest team in Cavan in the past 30 years.
But back to the training fund.. It would be a great indea to get it going now when we need it most. If you look at all the money that was saved over the past 2 years by all supporters it would amount to a lot of money... Wishfulthinking any idea how we could get it going
