Fingal's budget and number of professionals

[dcfcsteve]

Completely agree, but if is not SFs fault, its the fault of the system.

I see. It's not Sporting Fingal who are to blame for the decisions that they freely and willingly take - decisions that not every other club chooses to take.

It's the darn pesky system what makes 'em do it. The voices of the system in their head.

Isa't that the defense that was given by pretty much everyone at the Nurenburg trials....?

Sporting Fingal is a community team and is just one of many sports projects in Fingal hence the name Sport in Fingal.
Is this a bad thing to enhance sport in North County Dublin? When the sport complex in lusk is built, junior teams will have access to its facilities as well as coaching along with others sports.
If this is a franchise then i welcome it as its many projects help the people in Fingal through sport.
How many of the league clubs has a power soccer team? ( wheelchair football )
Futsal, a special olympics team?
Pop into a few sports complex or community centres in Fingal to see what sport and education activities are linked with sporting fingal or have a read through the website.
How many league clubs put this much into their community? not many and certainly not those that have so called fans slagging Fingal on here.

Will Sporting Fingal able to maintain a Premier division side with the quality of players they have long term from the the money coming through the gates on match days? Only time will tell and but if not then i see a Sporting Fingal side in the league for a long time to come either full or part-time with more Fingal based players in either the premier or the first division and they will have my support during the low times as well as the highs.
Well put my man and the very best of luck in the cup final.

Meant our (approx) wage budget of E3k a week.Should have checked back in the thread, myself :o

It was the Shels fans who quoted €17.5k (or more). No point asking for a source, I suppose.

Off topic UCD stuff moved to the UCD forum, by the way.

[Lamper.sffc]

:D Well done

[1895ringsend]

Jesus; do people still believe this nonsense, or are they just trolling when they post it?


I think ours is about E3k a week. Heard E10k+ a week for Shels at the start of the season, but that's a word-on-the-street job and may well be way out. I would imagine, though, that Shels are a good bit ahead of everyone else (bar Fingal obviously).

Shels is around 7k a week. When we first went down to div 1 it was 9-10 a week for the 1st season but the club has lowered the budget.

Where do you go to hear this word-on-the-street ?
Not for the first time you're way off with your figures on Shelbourne..

However I very much doubt it will be the last time you're wrong

Do you have a rough figure for Shels?

€10k /week seems not unreasonable for a team with so many experienced players - a €520k annual wage budget is normal enough for a Premier Division team, which Shels effectively is (in terms of standard of players), and I doubt you're playing those players 52 weeks a year. I'm not claiming that you're paying that much, but to claim PS's figure to be "way off" makes me curious as to what it really is.

[LeixlipRed]

It's 7k a week.

Off topic UCD stuff moved to the UCD forum, by the way.

If the UCD stuff is a good fit for the UCD forum, why is the Sporting Fingal stuff not more suited to the SF forum?

[pineapple stu]

Because I use the "New Posts" function and don't feel the need to differentiate between the two. And now I can't move it out of the UCD forum. And I don't care enough to move this one.

WADR, most of that doesn't make sense. Are you saying you want to move the thread out of the UCD forum? Have you changed your mind?

And is using New Posts now obligatory? What if one prefers to browse by thread, which I suspect is the case for many if not most? If I want to read about league matters (the only reason I come to foot.ie), then I browse the league thread. Is that wrong?

[Schumi]

I've moved it back to this forum if it's that important to everyone.

[stamullendrog]

We have other sponsors as well lads :)

could anyone tell me what keelings,fingals shirt sponsor,pay into the club.im curious because keelings provide logistics and produce to supermarkets.i can see the point of des kelly or woodies or beamish or indeed hunky dorys to name four getting exposure in the public domain from shirt sponsorship in that it helps sales maybe but a company that doesnt really sell to the public directly putting in the money ive heard rumoured doesnt add up

flancare did it with longford??

[pineapple stu]

In fairness, shirt sponsorship in the LoI isn't necessarily for commercial reasons.

[Celdrog]

keelings provide logistics and produce to supermarkets.The produce is under their own name

Yes another club in 5 years time will be a shell. When will the Eircom clubs ever learn...?

Says the man who's club has the biggest bankroll of all.

[stamullendrog]

a hell of a lot of it isnt thought believe me

[higgins]

Rough figure is 7k for everyone and it's certainly not over 52 weeks of the year
