Where can I get a shirt signed this Sunday?

We are taking a couple of new folk along on Sunday. One is over from England and is a York City Fan. His son intends to buy him a Nix shirt and was wondering how he could go about getting it signed. He's not fussed as long as it's a player obviously.


Anyone got any ideas?

There is usually a signing session on the field after the game.

So what do you do/how do you get down there? I thought it was just for the kids.

Ill sign it for you anytime mate. Seriously though, the after the game scenario or perhaps whip up to Newtown Park this morning (if they are training there), Russell will put you right.

Has to be Sunday as they are both coming from Shannon. How do you get down to the pitch? (Sorry being a pain here)

Get to the ground about 40 mins before KO and hang out by the players tunnel, Domey, Russell or even some of the players go out to have a nosey. One or more should be able to help. We see them a fair bit.

Customarily you walk.

They open up a bit of grass behind the goal at the end of the game for signings. It's pretty obvious. And it's open to everyone.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Straight down the bottom of aisle 20 is the stairs they open up.

Failing this, if you can get somone to take the shirt to The Grand after the game, you will be able to get the shirt signed by the majority of the team! Just remember to take the pen with you! :-)

My two guests had a great time and Reira signed the shirt when he came into the zone and most of the others signed it after the match. We all really, really enjoyed it.

Yeah I think we have to remember we we are talking about a poor fever atmosphere that to outsiders we still put on a good show.
