Thanks for all the advice.  I think I might have it sorted!

I want to get a club crest created but I don't know who to contact to get it done.  The club has an existing crest that was done by an amateur photoshopper a few years ago but would like to have it refined and improved slightly. 

Does anyone know of any companies or individuals that do this kind of work?  I know it would be a very quick job for someone with the necessary skills but I just don't know who to approach.

If anyone has any advice or suggestions I would be very grateful. 

Thanks.

The capacity of Pairc Grattan Inniskeen has been set at 3,700! 

maybe they're panicing? credit crunch? emigration? unemployment rising? its a pity the guidelines dont reflect the investment by a small rural community when so much money is available to pay the 'expenses' of coaches, managers etc

It sounds like you would in favour of some sort of bail out  .  Every club would love to receive greater financial assistance from county boards etc. but the reality is that they can not set the precedant of being more favourable to certain clubs in this regard.  Inniskeen have a fantastic set up, one of the best in Ulster and the county board have scheduled a lot of challenge games and McKenna cup games there that have attracted large crowds and are now giving them their first national league game which will undoubtedly bring in a full house and result in the potential to raise additional revenue through shops, draws etc.  Clubs who embark on ambitious projects such as Inniskeen have to be able to stand on their own 2 feet, if they receive preferable treatment other clubs will be expecting similar and this is not a situation that can be sustained into the future.

i think there are guidelines ultra. but if you've been to gratten pk its hell of a set up the money on offer so far would pay the electric bill maybe this tyrone game will get the club a few quid they like all clubs need every penny

Yes i have been to Grattan Park on many occasions since it's development and the county team have played many games there in an obvious attempt to help the club with their fundraising efforts.  It is a bit unfair to be accusing the county board of being 'tight b's', Inniskeen Grattans will be paid at the same rate as other clubs have been for hosting NFL games.  It can not be expected that they pay different rates to different clubs.

i heard that the grattans are'nt too happy with the bucks on offer from the county board for the use of the field. it'd be a long time payin for a prunty pitch sooner they get out the better tight b's

I'd say there are set guidelines in relation to the rental paid for the use of club grounds in NFL games.

This will be an all ticket match.

How many does Inniskeen hold?

I am wondering the same myself.   

This will be an all ticket match.

A scan of the entire programme for the Barrett Sports Lighting Dr. McKenna is available on the Monaghan GAA Forum for anyone who is interested.

I'd just like to bring to the attention of Monaghan posters, lurkers or anyone else from any other county that may be interested that a Monaghan GAA Forum has been set up to cater for the cyber needs of Monaghan Gaels. 

Hopefully some of you will join and the forum can be of benefit to us all.
