Player of the season Votes required/New Merch. etc

Monday 23 March 2009

Hi all,Bad news first, it's about to get a lot more awkward to get to Scunthorpe from Ireland. Ryanair are stopping the Dublin to Doncaster flights from next July so from next season on our choice of flights from Dublin etc are into Leeds Bradford/East Midlands or Manchester, Public transport from Leeds/East Mids to Scunthorpe is well nigh impossible but at least there is a regular rail service from Manchester to Scunthorpe.The only flight left into Doncaster from Ireland will be from Belfast City airport operated by Flybe.

As next season is our 15th anniversary, I'm getting some merchandise made to mark the occasion.I have a new supplier for embroidery and will be getting Polo shirts/Hoodies/Jackets/Fleeces/Caps with the UNITY crest as per virtual sample above. If anyone wants any polos etc please let me know sizes/colours required and I'll order them.

Hoping to have something special for members next season to mark 15 years,possibly a members only etched shot glass and a special badge, this years membership total of 65 is very poor considering we had 120 last season, this is the first season ever that we have more members OUTSIDE Ireland than within.

It'll soon be time to think about votes for Irish Iron player of the season, please forward votes to me by the 2nd week in April at the latest to give me time to get an award done up etc.

Hopefully see some of you at Wembley,

UTI !
Bernard
