The Drogheda United Revolution

People of Drogheda, We need your support.

" The guerrilla fighter needs full help from the people of the area. This is an indispensable condition. This is clearly seen by considering the case of bandit gangs that operate in a region. They have all the characteristics of a guerrilla army: homogeneity, respect for the leader, valor, knowledge of the ground, and, often, even good understanding of the tactics to be employed. The only thing missing is support of the people; and, inevitably, these gangs are captured and exterminated by the public force. "
Che Guevara, General Principles of Guerrilla Warfare, 1958




The Russian Revolution.
Great scenes from Drogheda Uniteds past. Number 57.  
Previous revolutions included the 1997 takeover after Liquidation, and the 1975 amalgamation between Drogheda F.C. and Drogheda United.
And remember the importance of your club - Here are three fundamental lessons to the conduct of revolutionary movements :-
" 1. Popular forces can win a war against the army.
  2. It is not necessary to wait until all conditions for making revolution exist; the       insurrection can create them.
  3. In underdeveloped America the countryside is the basic area for armed fighting."
Che Guevara  (Okay forget number 3 !)
