I've an Irish mate, who tells me the likes of Waterford play in front of 300 or so. It's more likely Power is trying to be a poor man's Pozzo, and Waterford and other LoI players will come this way.
could be a couple of reasons why he got involved? 1) has a family connection to the area and saw they were struggling 2) thinks he can do an STFC and turn them around financially (won't take much investment either) 3) thinks they have a good talent base which he can use for STFC or just as him being the agent of the players 4) He thinks he has done what he can at STFC (hence getting Sherwood in) and wants something else to occupy himself 5) Has intentions of Man City, Pozzi's (Watford) and Duvual (Charlton) of running and owning multiple clubs

His grandparents are from Waterford so for sure its a factor. Perhaps he has seen what Dundalk has achieved and figured that it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibilty that Waterford could do something similar given a bit of backing. I'm sure we'll also be seeing some Irish talent coming over in the foreseeable.

Waterford is an anagram of er... Watford.

Slade has a pretty good record in our league though doesn't he? Certainty needs time to fine tune the team the way he wants it.

Think this might be a nice tie up if it is that. We've got some good youngsters that would benefit both sides going over there to play regularly. Still get the feeling there is more to come on this though. Not a massive red bull network, maybe a rola cola type one though..

Just looking at their fb and twitter, nice little ground. No bets for where our pre season tour will be. Think I may have to tie up a visit to the outlaws over there.

I've cycled through Waterford on the way to Rosslare. Around the coast from Killarney - Kenmare - Bantry - Skibbereen - Cork - Youghal. Lovely place, look out for Reginald's Tower.
