The FAI huh? Tell us when you get a call from Fran a year or so from now.

I am Supporter Liaison Officer and help on media etc at the club. They noticed my name was on guest list and raised it with our kitman on arrival. Note tweets were from my personal account, not a club one.

Very interesting reading, and another honest person shafted by the Gruff Brothers. The actions are bordering on abusive behaviour and would not be tolerated in any work place. Does the FAI approve of club officers involved in such abusive actions?
Two questions that need answers?
What was the issue Jillian had with Gruff Brother Denis (and later Gruff Brother Martin)
The public needs to hear this, as Jillian seems to be an honest, genuine professional.
Her word against the person that proved lied to the Moriarity Tribunal, there is no choice.
The second issue that needs clarification.
What conclusion did the Philip Hannigan Think Tank on Bray arrive it?
Is this it?
We do know that he appointed Gruff Brother Denis as his proxy.
So does Philip Hannigan approve of the current strategy and direction?
Is he in the shadow?
As a director and former Chairman Philip Hannigan needs to make a statement on where he stands in all this.
Does he approve of the actions and the course of direction the club is heading?
We need some clarity on this, and Jillian needs a formal apology, and support from the FAI.
Breaking news from Glorious Leader and it's literally what everyone said was going to happen when the Chuckle Brothers hopped in bed with this head the ball!

Bray Wanderers want to construct up to 400 apartments on the Carlisle Grounds to fund the building of their proposed new facilities.
The plans were revealed in a letter, signed by the club's interim chairman Gerry Mulvey, that was sent to Bryan Doyle, County Manager of Wicklow County Council, on Tuesday.
Mulvey reiterates the club's belief that their dealings with the County Council have been akin to engaging with North Korea and speaks of the "sheer lack of respect shown to anyone who wants to create economic activity in Wicklow", which he finds "disgraceful".
The letter also criticises Chairman of Bray District Council, Councillor Christopher Fox, who allegedly offered the opinion that the League of Ireland side were being too ambitious.
The letter outlines Bray's plans for a new facility "to the west of the N11" and claims that the club have identified a location and are currently working towards obtaining the land.
Once that transaction is completed, Bray say they intend to invite the senior planners of Wicklow County Council to accompany them to the English FA's national centre, which they claim will form the blueprint for their proposed new home.
Mulvey wants Wicklow County Council to rezone the Carlisle Grounds, which is owned by the Council, to enable the club to build the apartments there.
Under their proposal, the club intend to sell a certain percentage of the apartments to cover the costs of their proposed new centre, with the remaining units being rented out.
They say income from those would be paid into a new trust.
What I don't get is why Mulvey is still going on with this, he can't believe there is any hope in the world that the council are going to get into bed with him even before the latest crass display of bad judgement and borderline lunacy.
You'd think he would just move on...
Last throw of the dice and then pull the plug.........still time for an #
That'll help with the planning application.

I'm starting to think we are seeing a guy having a genuine mental breakdown.
Maybe all the property deals are coming home to roost.
They still don't own the land. They won't get the land. This is going to end badly for the players but football in Bray will be back eventually. If Bray fans haven't started a trust yet the best time to do so is today. It doesn't take that many people to get organized
Business plan:
1. Insult owners of ground repeatedly
2. Demand ground be rezoned by owners of ground
3. Demand profits from redevelopment go to club, not owners of ground
4. Vague promise of new ground
5. Everyone wins

The right thing to do is probably to actually build a new stadium and training facilities at a short distance from the current ground and fund it with the sale of the ground but there is no chance of the council doing that when the lunatics are running the asylum
No it really isn't.
To move from one of the best located stadia in the entire league would be complete madness.

Very true .
If any genuine Bray fans want to keep their club, they need to get organised now.
These people have no interest in the club you love, and will happily watch your club die, to line their greasy pockets.
No-one can do it for you, you need to do it yourselves
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
If there was land 5 or 10 mins away with space for training pitches and other facilities that the club could use and/or hire out it would be worth considering at least but I wouldn't let the clowns that are in charge of Bray now have anything to do with it.
Best case would obviously be for the council to spend a few million to bring the ground up to a decent standard but can't see that happening.
Out of curiosity, at what point does a club become a viable addition to the League of Ireland, or does a club cease to be a viable club within the League of Ireland?
I am a Bohs follower - I say that specifically because I only go once a month and leave very little footprint on the club, or on any Rovers supporters (joke!).
I know attendances in general are steady, but across some clubs it is horrific.
I'm not advocating clubs get ejected from the league due to attendances, and while it's a shame that a place such as Monaghan wind up, or Kilkenny for that matter, have they been a loss to the league as a whole?
When you see the mess that's emerged with Bray recently, apart from the small group of hardcore fans, would the club be missed?
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
The Carlisle Grounds is a dump and needs to be demolished.
If something appropriate to a modern football club can't be built on its site, then it's not one of the best-located stadia in the country.
Obviously insulting the Council is a curious way of going about things.
Moving the club out of the town will not improve attendances. Look at the situations in Wexford and Longford. Improvements may be required but moving from their current location would be foolish.
I don't think the league is in a position to brush aside the loss of any club. I liked the variety of playing Kilkenny, Kildare, Mons, and even Sporting Fingal.
