Indeed, two words: Roman Empire.

Call that an empire!?

and here was me just looking a wee bit of info on notre dame gear!

seriously though, some good points raised in the past few posts from seanie and boaithe. hopefully generate some meaningful discussion about what we can do to improve. probably deserves a thread of its own as id say not everyone looks over this side of the board.

have you swallowed the official line hook and sinker or did you write the book .
sure the irfu are spending money on lansdowne road but even if they didnt have croke park they would still have to spend that money and how long would it take then to make it in the Magnificent Thomond PK © . meanwhile they are free to spend that money on forcing their way into schools where even the teachers don't want them. and as for limerick working class playing rugby bullshit it a jumped up middle class shopkeepers son and the like how many rugby pitches do you think abd in Moyross?
And as for the FAI they are not putting a penny of they own money in to lansdown road . they contribution is going to coe from selling seat they dont even own yet and never would if it were uo to them seles . after over 100 years the best soccerball has come up with is 90% of dalymount park which they are trying to flog and a rented tolka which they are also trying to sell without any one noticing.
Protecting your own interests is not insular merely good sense esp when your working with a government who willingly build free pitches for taxcheats in other code and is prepared to take all the risks on a new stadium untill the lads raise the money on by way of that pitch thus saving them millions in interest, and beside would yoy loan the FAI or any soccer head in ireland €400 let alone €400 million
