Bray statement

**greywanderer** · 27/07/2017, 12:57 PM

If bray wanderers don't actually own the Carlisle grounds how can rezoning benefit Bray wanderers, unless Gerry mulvey stipulates that his buddy kavanagh gets the building contract..

If you were a Bray player and this was your chairman how convinced would you be the investment is coming next week.

Only that I previously read this statement in the Indo I would have immediately thought it was a hoax. Its almost an unbelievable statement to make.

Perfect description by Mr A

Mulvey / O'Connor pantomime

I've never supported a player strike at any club but this takes the biscuit completely

Girlfriend has it right, describing it as "Trump-like".

Surely it has to be fake?

Obviously it's real in that it's on the club social media, etc - but it has to be the result of a hacked account or something. Wasn't their website taken over a couple of years back?

Either way, still hardly encouraging.

Mulvey and O'Connor only ever wanted the Carlisle Grounds, if the club stays in their hands it is finished.

The impression I got from that word salad they put out was that the council would rezone and sell the land for the Carlisle, which they own, then essentially just give O'Connor and Mulvey the proceeds out of the goodness of their North Korean hearts.

Hmmmmmm. How long is that I wonder?

Holy f**kballs!! When did Sean Spicer wash up in Bray?

If Mulvey thinks Wicklow Co Co is so like North Korea I can't wait to see what he writes just before he's strapped to the business end of an anti-aircraft gun by planning officials!!!

**Nesta99** · 27/07/2017, 2:16 PM

Big bold plans that they hope will be big bold Wicklow CoCo if they dont play ball with the Carlisle Grounds rezoning.

I'd be inclined to think so too, but surely it would have been taken down by now?

RTE and other media have picked up on it. Irish Times gingerly describes it as having a "rather bizarre tone". Also this:

Members of Wicklow County Council have generally responded negatively to the idea of re-zoning the club’s current home when it was previously floated by Wanderers officials, with individual councillors suggesting to The Irish Times that in the event the club wants to move it would simply have to surrender its sporting lease on the facility.
If that happened the council would have the option of awarding a new lease to another sporting organisation or embarking on a redevelopment itself from which it would benefit from any financial windfall.
