View Full Version : Drogheda Utd v Portlaoise GAA Club
Comparisons to Bohs too.
IN the Indo today there's an article about a planning decision on a development putting Portlaoise GAA club €6.5million in debt. The €6.5 million was an upfront payment from a developer.
Strange how it hasn't received the same coverage as the LOI's problems

Read about it earlier in the week. I would have mentioned it but it was only a seven figure sum.

I thought it was a bit strange when I saw the thread that we were having a benefit match against Portlaoise GAA

I heard about on the radio. However, there's a totally different spin put on it by the media. Drog's is all their own fault and the league is fecked, whereas it's the poor GAA club trying to do their best for themselves hoodwinked by a nasty developer.

You hit the nail right on the head there Macy.

Drogheda play in the LOI which effects all LOI fans in the country, while Portlaoise play in the local GAA league in Laois. GAA fans outside Laois wouldn't have a great deal of interest in how one club in another county is managing their finances.
That is why the national media would/should have a bigger interest in Drogheda.
