March 8th - Next event in support of the players

[Corcaigh32]

IGNORED BY THE BOARD

March 8th - 2 p.m. Kennedy Park.............

To attend the Cork football match at Pairc Uí Chaoimh.

Dress code : Rebel.

If they want to ignore us on the street, we will have to take our message to them..........the last time it was for the players, this time it's for US!!!!

[Rebelred]

I dunno C32, clubs are meeting the players on that night, I wouldn't hold anything before that to be honest, one important event at a time.

Think your missing the point of us attending ;)

In order to galvanise the clubs into realising that the supporters are SERIOUSLY pissed and the fact we were NOT saturday shoppers will make them just that bit more willing to stand up and fight.

Got to lead from the front, poor delegates need to be shown that the supporters are not willing to let this farce continue forever.

Time to ratchet up the pressure once more.

well said

[Corcaigh32]

I take your point rebelred......but what will happen on that Sunday night will happen regardless.........

[corkoniense]

I suggest those who are members of clubs (no doubt the majority) wear their club colours as well. ie. cork jersey, club jacket or vice versa. Distinctive club flags should be welcome too....

at that stage, the clubs going to the meeting will have held their SGM's.

Exactly, I do not believe that this march will do anything to take from mandated decisions already made by the clubs. If I did, I wouldn't be involved in it.

[Swoosh]

What does dress code rebel mean?

and what is the march on the pairc going to do?

the ccb will think that its just for the match that people are there

[Corcaigh32]

Dress code - rebel = anything red, jersies, t-shirts etc etc

What it will do.............come along and find out........

[Eleven]

Not to sure Corcaigh. Might make more sense if all the 10K made sure they were signed up members of their clubs and get their voices heard there. All we need is to read the rule book from back to front and we will manage to change things. Some people might want to go to the football match, and not sure how that is anti the hurlers, if the footballers have said they will join them after the league if it isn't sorted out.

[Corcaigh32]

That's what we will be doing - going to the football match.

[Eleven]

Fair enough so! No moral dilemma for me so. Mind you, we'll still need to attend club meetings or all our marching is a waste of time.

Guess Tatiana is all kitted out for the march :

How is this a protest? A huge turnout for the game, and a huge boost to CCB coffers, fans dressed in rebel colours - isn't this going to be spun as "real cork fans" supporting the CCB???

Why not have everybody dress in black. It would certainly make an impact.

[Liathroidi Mor]

Lads, ditch the negativity and just go with C32. Look what he and Barry K did the last time. Leave them rally the troops anf follow!!!


Well done C32 .........keep up the work

I think this could be hilarious 10,000 people in the park shouting murphy out murphy out ..his worst nightmare come true .... his own turning on him in his back garden

Agreed. We probably all have different ideas on approaches, but we have to line up behind one approach even if we might quibble with it for very valid reasons. These guys did a great job the last time. We have to as individuals make a major effort to get all the supporters who did not make it the last time to come out this time. Remember the weather is a risk so we have to make a major effort to get people committed in advance to turn out. Please do everything you can to get any people you know who are pro the 08 panel to commit to you to attend this.

[smellycat1]

this will fall flat on its face. not too many langers will fork out €15 on a protest ye`d be lucky to scrape 800 not to mention 10,000

[Corcaigh32]

That's what you said last time

[Turenne]

Not a great idea I think. For one, I dislike giving any money to the CCB, and more importantly any such march will almost certainly have a lot less numbers then last time. This will make it look like the players are losing support, and the whole march will be too easily spun by the CCB.

Wait and see what the clubs say I think, and then act.

[bugsy]

Sure that's way more than we got at the first one anyway, based on CB estimates and subtracting unwitting shoppers...still about the same as you said would be there that time anyway.

[Corcaigh32]

The clubs will have their say that evening anyway - a bit of faith lads......all we need is to get it publicised and we have 10 days to do that.

Hear, hear, no negativity on this.

would suggest everybody bring white hanky (ala Real Madrid) and at half time, full time make yourself and your allegiance known

[chabal]

I won't be paying any money to the CCB either, they will be laughing. Combover and his gang are in it for the money and control, paying to go into the gates is to their benefit. If nobody pays to atend any cork gaa game it will have a far greater impact. I won't be attending any Cork games until this is sorted

They already have millions, do you think another few grand will matter to them

It's the problem with this - except for a few Championship games in the summer nobody goes to games anyway.

I think it would be a great demonstration if a few thousand people turned up chanting MURPHY OUT

But I can't see it happening. Cork people just don't like going to games unless it is an event.

[realrebel]

That's what you said last time

fair play to ya corcaigh32 for doing this but i have to say i cant see people paying 15 euros in just for a protest
it was grand in town because it was free especialy with the way things are i cant see a big turnout
even people on your side are saying this

[rebelrebel]

FFS lads quit the negativity and just start spreading the word about the march. We need to stick together and now it's even more important then ever!

And if your still unsure, as i was about giving any cash to Frank, just think the €15 euro now might be well worth it if we get that prick out.

If we don't get him out there's a hell of a lot of Cork people who'll be keeping their cash in their pockets come championship time.....

Spot on

Anyone with the ability to get some sort of advert to copy into an email to get it circulating

[Cork All-Star]

Count me in for this. €15 won't be missed come September. Our footballers and hurlers will if we don't keep the pressure up.

Just remember the comments made about the 'real' Cork supporters being down the park for the Dublin game. The rest of us were 'shopping'. Makes my blood boil. Cheeky f**kers.

So onwards an upwards folks. Get the word out and gather the troops.

[CountyCork]

I REALLY don't like giving that shower (CCB) ANY money, like a few others have said too.
However, I would like to support the footballers and give them the courage to support our hurlers.
How about turning the €15 into a protest also somehow?
I don't know how it would work, what about -
Write "Frank Murphy Out" on the notes?
Make your views about the CCB known to the ticket sellers in a non- aggressive way?
Leave something in the Pairc e.g. a postcard saying "Bring back our hurlers"

What do ye think?
Corcaigh and the boys will come up with great ideas, I know. I just think that we should use every opportunity to protest while we're there, and if we're going to be giving Frank our dosh, we should get our money's worth! :-)

[west cork rebel]

does sound like a great idea, and if we could get some good chants going, and make sure our feelings are know, that we are there for the 08 panel.

wearing black shirts does sound like a good idea, and possibly some cork flags with 08 sprawled across them in black.

[chabal]

Haha, could be entertaining, a huge angry mob setting up shop outside combovers house, i don't think it would win public support though.

Give us his address anyway, just in case some few may want to drop by to wish him well

Sure the lads on the gate pocket half of it anyway

C32, what's the e-mail address you're using to co-ordinate these things again? OK if I throw it up as a contact detail?

[Rebelred]

Is the match at half 2?

[longbigandjuicy]

The lads giving out about paying the €15 to the CCB, er support would be still most valued outside the grounds so come along.

[west cork rebel]

it's worth the €15 to do so, if they feel so disgruntled they can hand in the money in copper cents, or damage the notes of some kind.

We need to make it clear also that we are there to support the 08 panel and not the current crop.

[ho chi feen]

[Some user]

Exellent idea to piss them off but they might insist on counting it and thereby hold everybody else up!

I dont think its fair either to say "stop the negativity" about the protest. Doesnt every langer have an opinion? I mentioned it to people last night and the reaction wasn't as enthusiastic as it was for the march which is understandable.

CCB and Casey Communications will spin the crowd numbers no doubt (I wouldnt expect 10,000) but it should be looked at, as a different type of event.

it will be great if every1 would go into the stadium and chant murphy out! murphy out! it would be on the news, papers, radio etc and would aput great pressure on the CCB

Seeing as only 600 showed up today a good attendance would be show them up.

[chabal]

I have said before I don't like the idea of giving a single penny to Cork GAA until this is resolved, so I won't be going to the football game Sunday. I don't think it will be the best way of making a protest, but good luck to the rest of you who go. Has the idea of organising a match of the 08 squad 15 v 15 in some venue, with a small charge to get in been put forward, could probably get some media attention, if we got more than the 600 that showed up today it would make a statement, it would also help to raise money for the 08 squads campaign, and would give the lads a chance to play a match of sorts in front of their supporters.

can i get pmed details of the war chest account

[Rebelred]

lads,

I was thinking last night and I think that 2pm is too late to start the march to the pairc and get everyone in safely into the game, which starts at 2:30pm.
If there is as big a crowd as we all hope, then there isn't a hope in hell you'll get everyone into the uncovered stand in anything less than 20 minutes, if they open the usual number of turnstiles that they do normally for league games. Remember C32, we have to be respectful to the footballers and other fans wishing to attend the match aswell... A crowd arriving late is far from respectful in my honest opinion. Potentially cramming that number of people into the antique that is the Pairc in that short a time, logistically could be better...
I'm trying to remember if the gates in the tunnel were open all the way around from the covered stand under through the blackrock end for the Meath match, can anybody confirm?

[The Banker]

2:00 PM might be cutting it fine alright. Whatever the time, I will be paying with 3 €5 notes. On each note I will be writing FRANK MURPHY OUT on the back and front.

In fact every note I have I am writing FRANK MURPHY OUT on it. It is the best form of free advertising and notes circulate around Cork, shop to shop, person to person, hand to hand.

This whole fiasco has gone beyond Ger Mac and the whole fucking over of the hurlers. I want Murphys head on a plate. 35 years is too long. He has to go.

You know the way many of us have Cork flags/colours on our cars for Cork games, and club flags/colours on our cars for club games.

I suggest that we (especially those of us driving in from outside the city) drive in with Cork flags/colours on one side of the car and club colours on the other side. To my way of thinking, charging in the N22 with my county colours and my club colours flying, alongside others similarly donned would symbolically capture the emotion of the event.

(be careful driving tho)

Just a thought, how about putting a couple of people at the covered stand entrance with a sign asking supporters of the 08 hurlers to please go to the uncovered stand.
Sign can tell people the exact details of the protest, that the people in the uncovered stand will be 100% supporting the footballers and that only at half-time & full-time will there be a vocal protest against the CCB.

The less people in the covered stand compared to the uncovered the better.

Great work by the way C32.

Inbox has space - as for putting people near the covered stand - I have reservations about that - we are not there to make anyone do anything they don't want to and I do not want to be seen to be in any way co-ercing or cajoling anyone. People will know the drill in relation to the covered stand on Sunday, unless it is lashing rain anyone who is at Kennedy Park for orientation will know what the craic is so I think we will be ok.

Great work, Corky.The way things are panning out I don't feel we need worry about standing too close to the covered stand. We are living the Chinese curse, to live in interesting times. There is such a groundswell of passion rising that I believe at the end of this year's Championship the proudest boast you will hear is " I was in the uncovered stand on the 8th of March".

Organise. Organise. Organise.

Hello all

Firstly Let me congratulate all on the incredible work being done here.

Secondly - Would it be an idea for all protesters to wear there club jersey or Track suit and if your not a current club member either borrow one or maybe wear plain white or black. Just think the likes of O2 etc wouldn't be impressed with the lack of Cork Jerseys. and it also shows support for our clubs looking to take back control.

Its worth considering.

Doesn't matter, giant hailstones could fall for all I care.
I'll be there, with a few buddies

[chabal]

Heard the march for tomorrow announced on Newstalk after 2pm today, presenter said about 10,000 protesters are expected to be there which could be the final nail in the CBs coffin!!!

Great news the more the merrier.

[CountyCork]

Corcaigh32, if there were "buckets" strategically placed tomorrow, I would be delighted to throw a few bob in for the cause.
No pressure on anyone that way.

[Corcaigh32]

OK

Can Corkbhoy, Eleven, JoJo, Rebelicecreamman, kh1152, ho chi feen, C Montgomery Bones, Frankeechops, Mushypea, usertaken and corkoniense......... ......please contact me.

[Golfer]

Hi Corcaigh

Are you still looking for volunteers to be stewards tomorrow?

[Corcaigh32]

stewards and some other work............pm me if u are interested....

[TonyCork80]

Hi lads was at the des bishop gig in vicar st the other night. was a very good show but the highlight for me was when Des had a rant about the dirty pricks (my words not his in fairness!) that booed him at the awards for his support of the hurlers again asking how they felt about the whole thing now that the clubs had had their say. Apart from a few of us exiled rebels cheering loudly the rest of the dubs sat there in sheepish silence. He also said he was driving down to Cork in the morning to march before going back upto Dublin for the evening gig.

Its shaping up to be an excellent weekend for an exile, down for the march and the old alma mater UCC winning the Fitz should give me some bragging rights working in Trinity!

[Corcaigh32]

Did they win? Is Bishop going to be there in the morning?

[BlueSkies]

Lads, best of luck with the protest tomorrow, I hope it all goes well.
Would love to be there but stuck in Dumpland as usual.
Corcaigh ubú!

[Corcaigh32]

You'll be drier BlueSkies

[TonyCork80]

Yeah Des said from the stage he would definitely be going down to march and UCC won the Fitz handily enough.

[Corcaigh32]

Have tried to contact him.........we'll see if he gets the message.

[TonyCork80]

Good stuff, the man seems pretty fired up about the whole thing. Thanks a million for doing the legwork on this one lad, the 50000 at croker in september will owe you and others a huge debt. UCC were excellent today, Kev Hartnett looks like delivering on the promise he showed in 07. Plenty of reasons to be optimistic for the future. Off out now for a creamy pint of murph's to round off a great day!

[Corcaigh32]

See ya tomorrow?

[TonyCork80]

See ya tomorrow?

Absolutely my friend.chalk it down

[Coogee]

For the march Sunday folks, bring your Bodhran if you have one,

Adds to the atmosphere.

the gas thing is if there was no dispute with the hurlers there would be no one at the game sunday...

[vanderburke]

[west cork rebel]

best of lucl lads, wish I could be there, hope this helps brings about a change.

[poulgorm]

Be mindful that the CBC could switch the game to Pairc Ui Rinn! - The pretext would be the heavy rain last night

[Corcaigh32]

latest weather says the rain should ease off before 12.......here's hoping.........see you later ;)

[Muintir]

Jesus that Frank can even manage the weather...bad f*****g thing to do to De Bomber

[Rebelred]

Muintir is that your bike hanging on the sign post near blackpool shopping centre?

[Tommy O]

Has muintir started stalking de bomber ??
Muintir do you accept this is nearly over and that player power has won out again ?

Human nature lad, I actually have gone to the footballers last 2 games but if you want to paint it differently away you go, I don't really care! I agree with you it would be great if 50000 people went to all National League Games, AIL games, LOI games, Race meetings or whatever and our sports would all be in better shape if they did. But the fact is there are a lot of people who will go the all-ireland finals, heineken cup finals, old trafford, cheltenham or whatever. As far as I am concerned, people can do whatever they want with their time and money, and I'll do whatever I want with mine.

And on your point about the rest of the country, any Cork person living in dublin will tell you they have been getting jibes about the dispute EVERY FECKING DAY for the last four months but I'm actually prouder than ever before as a Corkman that our people are standing up for themselves and their causes and investing their time, energy and money in a communal thing they believe in at a time when the whole country is becoming more self serving by the day.

And regarding Des Bishop, you have completely contradicted yourself. If publicity was the thing here, why would he bother if "the rest of the country couldn't give a shit"?

[STEVIEG]

Only made a brief appearance in Kennedy park due to domestic duties but seemed a big crowd gathering fair play to organisers once again

[mushypea]

Just back there now from the protest/match.

Red FM put crowd figures at 5,000+

Crowd attendance inside the pitch was quoted at 1700.....:roll:

Another proud day for the rebel army!
Many thanks to our guest today- Des Bishop


CORCAIGH ABÚ.

[Corcaigh32]

Once more - thanks a million to everyone for all your help, your contributions but most importantly your presence last Sunday - it was cold, it was snowing but we made it absolutely clear - we want our hurlers back and we are not shoppers!!!!
