Lad,
Sorry about the delay in getting this to you all but I fell asleep. I was told at 9.20m tonight that we are sorted and will be playing First Division football next season. You'll no doubt get the details at the meeting on Sunday.

Is the reason no one has posted a reply to this tread yet is because were all waiting for confirmation or whats the crack, i dont think luka would make something like this up......so anybody no anything else about it????
Everyone should be informed about the detail regarding the rescue at the meeting on Sunday afternoon. I thought this thread would be greeted with far greater enthusiam and am a bit curious as to why it hasn't. The arguing threads seem to take preference as usual. I'm looking for a bit more spirit and 'that's the job' or 'let's get it right this time' sort of stuff but nah................I hope this isn't something to go by for the season ahead.
I think many supporters like myself are worried that a deal was made with somebody somewhere without consent of members,we owe a large amount and it seems strange we can continue with it hanging over our heads,but maybe its all positive news suppose we"ll all know shortly....

I can see your point luka and i do hope once it is all finalised this thread will be full of only good spirit, once all is finalised i think it would be a good idea to delete all previous bad threads and start afresh and go back to the positive threads like the ones were there when we were top of division one and winning it.......

Luka, I for one look forward with great anticipation to the plan been unveiled.
However I am also very angry about the news that six long standing members of Cobh Ramblers FC have had their membership revoked.
Two of these people are still coming to terms with a very close family bereavement and I am just sickened at the total lack of respect been shown at a time like this.
For God's sake guys, no game, football team or club should ever take on more importance than life itself and particularly at a time of grief and loss.
If this is the level that some people will stoop to without any regard to the feelings of others, then I am have to admit I am now sorry to be even a supporter of this great club.
I would respectfuly ask who ever is responsible for all of this happening, to show more sensitivity to people and overturn this decision immediately.
Have we really stooped this low????

Feck off ya miserable b0llocks!........the club reserves the right to refuse admission and membership!
I assume your on about the "Crows Nest 6" in which case.....good riddance! They are lucky it's only the membership being refused and that there not up in front of a judge!

this was said at the last meeting if you showed jamesd, we are all sorry for there there loss, but this was a decision by the members againts the 6 signatures on the letter to the FAI, these people brought the club into disrepute, and have to face the concequences of it, people were banned from the club before with no notice at all, just turned up for a game and told they cannot enter,
there are consequences to every action, they knew this could happen if they went against the club,
i only said it yesterday my biggest gripe with the cimmitee is that these people were still members

I'll butt in here Don to put the record straight unless I've totally misread your post but it was not a decision by the members.

Yes ultimately a top level decision to get rid of people who are entitled to their opinion at all times.
A top level decision to get rid of anyone that questions any wrong doings in the club.
Ye talk about democracy, what a joke. Where was the democracy in not accepting the vote taken in December???
And any truth now that Dan Wyatt is gone too???
It is clear now that the agenda of the Chairman has nothing to do with football but rather get his own back on those who opposed his election in the first place.
If there was ever any hope of getting people together, then it is now shattered by this dictatorship move of removing members from the Club.

funny how you say dictatorship, when the man was voted into office 3 times and still has the majority of member on his side, and we had the second vote casue the friends said they had E100k to save the club, which was just hot air, they also tried to bring legal proceeding toward the club, for them not getting there way, sorry now but minorities dont rule this club jamesd, they brought the club into disripute, and have to pay the concequences,

its over get on with your life if you you do not like the judgement go somewhere where they will listen.
I'm not a memeber of Cobh and I do not live down there, but for god sake give it a break you keep repeating yourself then waiting for the replies you know you will get back.
If the focrs were the people that went against the wishes of the full membership and leaked info to the papers/ radio, travelled to Dublin and also went the legal route against the club without the permission of the membership then the club were correct not to renew their membership as they are within their rights to do so.
After all you do have to re apply to become a member and its up to the committe to reject or accept anyone becoming a full member.
If the chairman and commette saved the club and you are in Div 1 this season well done to all concerned its a credit to one and all.
If Dan left so be it move on replace that commette member and as I said before stop this childish ranting your all a laughing stock of footie fourm

Well said sub that about sums up why they should be expelled.
It is a democracy we have and just because they didnt like something they ran off to solicitors and tried getting the club caught up in a legal battle instead of showing up when asked to give their presentation and act like grown ups

Delighted to hear that and I apologise for even raising it. It was just something I heard and I realise it was wrong information. Thankfully it was wrong as we could do with some more professional people like him helping out.
BTW, LUKA, that bit about Athlone Town and what they are doing is excellent. I do seem to remember a suggestion about the 800 draw been mentioned before.
If Dan is overseeing everything financially, then I envisage that should inject enough confidence for members to put their hands in their pockets.

I've got news for you Jamesd, Dan is already the financial controller; he brought in the financial controls, of which 42 people opposed. Where stood you then Jim-d?
I have no doubt that Dan and his assistant are working on fundraising plans as we speak, but the big question remains, will a certain section of the membership boycott those events again?
Do you serve under the command of captain Boycott Jamesd?:D

Red, if you read what I posted you would see I never mentioned Dan in relation to fundraising. That should be up to each and every member to get out there and do what ever they can to bring in money.
Secondly, I never opposed Dan, in fact when someone mentioned he was gone, I got angry. He is just what this club needs.
Thirdly, I never serve under any command unlike your good self!!
Like anyone that would ever be elected to office, I would serve if elected all of whom would have elected me and more so, those that didn't!
If people ask you for help or support, you cannot get caught up in what side they are on or what politics they are. You listen to them and form your own opinion for the betterment of all you represent. Again, anyone elected to office in anything, must serve the entire organisation and not the bits they prefer!!

I've no doubt that you're as entitled to your opinion here just as anyone else is. I do believe though that you didn't get off on the right footing here yesterday by jumping in with some rather uncalled for comments. For what it's worth, I'm not dictating to you, simply giving my own opinion but I hope you have better days than yesterday. Many here take Ramblers as a club, and certainly the current situation very very passionately indeed and it doesn't take much for a genuinely perfect thread to descend into worthless thrash when provocation shows it's ugly face.

05/02/2009, 9:24 AM
did you expect any thing less if you have not organised your club to pay your debts, or spent the months leading up to the granting of the licence in fighting you get what you deserve.
I was informed they did not want to air their dirty linen to everyone, but even the dogs in the street knew what was going on.
You cannot blame infighting, why like all other clubs in the LOI who had the same problem did you organise a new supporters group and start fundrasing to sort out the clubs finance.
Cork City, Athlone, Drogheda to name a few.
With all the meetings you had over the last 5 or so months did the commette ever think of organising funrasing nights ect or did they think if the buried their heads in the sand all would be ok.
You spent all the time on this forum making comments on each other, you blaming the FOCER'S and they blaming you and in the middle you had the Chairman saying that Cobh was not in trouble and if you play in AChampionship its a step back but next year you will be back up playing 1st Div.
Well you will have to win the A league to get back up, no one can say you have a god given right to do that.
You still have the debts to clear how is that going to happen if supporters are not going to support A LEAGUE football.
This is my two pence... as a club inc the supportors you all sat on the fence thinking someone was going to sort out the problems and now they have not.
You cannot blame infighting, why like all other clubs in the LOI who had the same problem did you organise a new supporters group and start fundrasing to sort out the clubs finance.

I agree and disagree with your post.
Yes, us members and supporters should have done a lot more then what was done instead of getting caught up with all the in-fighting that was going on in the club.
But when ideas were put to the members by the chairman there was alot of opposition to them by individuals with-in the club, and this has held the club back in trying to move forward.
So maybe we are getting what we deserve for our lack of action over the last few months/years, but we will be back, bigger and stronger then ever.

05/02/2009, 8:02 PM
what do we do now do you think? i personally think the A league would be a disaster we would still have to travel around the country but with no real income coming in to the club in terms of bums on seats.
I know the true fan will be at the games supporting the team.
I know I'll be there as often as possible, and I'll travel to as many away games as possible (better get thinking of some new excuses to get time off work for the new season)
So regardless of what division we're in this coming season let us get behind the club and support it what ever way we can.
Jdrams fan
05/02/2009, 8:57 PM
I agree 100% but its trying to attract people to the games will be the problem, but lets be positive at least we are still open it could have been a lot worse
Marketing Marketing Marketing for both the Team and the Clubhouse. . Our current circumstance is not unrecoverable. It just needs alot of working on to return it to normal.
Munster Senior League-The only option in my opinion.I for one will not be attending "A" league games not a hope in hell but I would relish the chance of supporting a local team against the likes of Avondale,Douglas Hall etc.Under the current crop mistakes have been made but dropping into this joke of a division would be a disaster it just wont work theres no posatives at all to be taken from it.
