| Looks good, its not hard to do tbh, neither does it require a so-called com-mit-tea to run, but power corrupts; absolute power sorrupts absolutely.........
I also see Club Louth membership is €500 | |

| To be fair our own is decent, looks cramped though compared to this one though.
I see Louth are using a St.Brigids cross as their Crest. What connection is there,and since we already use it as our own it seems strange they went for that. | |

| Think St Brigid hailed from Louth and had her church/Monastery in Kildare, but I stand to be corrected. | |

| Not really there was no Kildare until Brigid set up her Monastery at Cill Dara in 490 to blow into. First defined as a diocese in 1111. In 1297 William de Vesci surrendered the “Liberty of Kildare” to the English crown. “County Kildare” came into being and was defined as such by an Act of Edward I and the Boundary was not settled upon until 1836.
You don't get that kind of info anywhere. | |

| For anybody with dodgy knees there is a holy tree stump blessed by St Brigid just outside Carlingford I think that if you kneel into it you shall have healthy knees for life. So far so good for me touch wood.
Also nearby is a "magic" hill where if you switch the engine off and take off the hand brake the car will roll uphill.
I discovered all this the same summer that a local dropped a crate of petrol bombs on Peter Robinsons head while walking down Dundalk main street.
'twas a great summer childhood holiday that year I tell ye. 'tis a mad wee county.
Ye wont find that shit on wikipedia!!! | |

| I'm not even talking about how it looks, which in my opinion is better but that's just aesthetics... I'm talking about the substance, I'm talking about the news, throughout the county, match reports, results etc. | |

| Thats what happens when committees run things. Nothing gets done. A website should really only have one or two masters at most responsible for updating it daily. | |
