Ollie Byrne Webchat - Wednesday 7pm

[Gareth]

I think seeing as so many Shels-orientated (nay I say slightly obsessed) threads have appeared lately in this section, I feel that it would be to most peoples interest that Shelbourne Website at holding a live Webchat on Wednesday 29th at 7pm where you can submit questions to Shels CEO Ollie Byrne.

I am sure plenty of people will have plenty to say on this.

[pete]

Could be entertaining... Do questions have to submitted in advance & will it be censored? ;)

[Gareth]

Questions will be accepted from 6:45 onwards on the day, and the questions will be asked on a as we get them basis. We will not be able to answer all the questions as I expect quite a few, but we will oick good ones and nothing said will be censored, but we will be vetting questions but thats to stop the usual silliness.

[BohDiddley]

Will questions from Bohs fans re ground-sharing, er, silliness be categorised as the usual silliness?
I'm sure lots would like to hear what Shels have to offer, from the horse's mouth.

[Gareth]

Submit the questions. The questions will will asked and answered. I obviously don't know the nature of the answers as if I did I wouldn't need Ollie for to answer them. I am looking forward to it. Everyone is welcome. clearly stupid questions will be ignored and subsequent qquestions for the individuals snubbed.

[CharlesThompson]

What's a stupid question?

[Gareth]

:) I'll leave that up to your good selves to judge!! :)

[CollegeTillIDie]

Can we ask him if he has any insight into this so called Elite Oberliga proposed by the FAIreland?

[CollegeTillIDie]

How about this exam style one..... John Delaney Administrative Genius or Muppet? Discuss ! :D

[Strabane_Harp]

Can we ask him what his favourite wing in the joy was :D

[Gareth]

Can we ask him what his favourite wing in the joy was :D

That would be deemed stupid :) Thank you for an example to use.

[Drumcondra Red]

Tool!

[thejollyrodger]

i think its great news. I have so many questions !!

Will the interview be uploaded later in case you miss it ?

[TonyD]

clearly stupid questions will be ignored

Ah, where's the fun in that ? :D

[Jerry The Saint]

Other examples of silly questions that won't be answered:

- What's your favourite type of biscuit (tin)? :)
- Where will you get the money to pay the Revenue...?:eek:

[Rory H]

if there are too many stupid question the webchat could be.......TAXING:D

[CharlesThompson]

Everyone is welcome. clearly stupid questions will be ignored and subsequent qquestions for the individuals snubbed.



:) I'll leave that up to your good selves to judge!! :)

So I can judge if what I ask is stupid or not? Do I then get to judge whether I will be 'snubbed' consequently or do you take over that right at that stage?

Just wondering really because somebody might want to have a little bit of fun, then any reasonably good questions by that person later would be ignored? Should you not just judge it on a question by question basis?

[NY Hoop]

Do you think its right for a convicted criminal to be running a football club?

KOH

[Gareth]

Lighthearted questions such as your wish to find out what biscuit will be treated as lighthearted questions.

"Can we ask him what his favourite wing in the joy was" is deemed stupid.

[thejollyrodger]

GARETH ! Will the webchat be available online after Wednesday ?

[Bald Student]

Can Ollie Byrne type? Will this be a very slow webcast?

[Gareth]

GARETH ! Will the webchat be available online after Wednesday ?

Yes it will. It is a text questions and answers session so you will be able to access it again and again just like a news article etc.

[Gareth]

Can Ollie Byrne type? Will this be a very slow webcast?

Yes he can and it will be at a good pace Baldy. You need not worry.

Are you enjoying the premier division? See, I can do it too.

[NY Hoop]

Are you enjoying the premier division? See, I can do it too.

Thank you for the childish retort. Can you read what the topic is? I've asked a serious question. We'll see if it gets through.

KOH

[sfc red]

Seriously stupid!!! :D

[Bald Student]

Yes he can and it will be at a good pace Baldy. You need not worry.Thanks, maybe I was being ageist by assuming that he couldn't type!

[Gareth]

Remember, tomorrow at 7pm.

Questions can be submitted at 6:45pm onwards. It will continue for as long as possible. The last one went on for under under 2 hours.

[Raheny Red]

*BUMP*

Anyone got any questions - it's just under way :confused:

[CharlesThompson]

I can't find the feckin theing. Where is it?

[CharlesThompson]

found it.

[Schumi]

He's not answering too many of them is he?!

[pól-dcfc]

Ciaran Ruane: "Have Shels sold their lease on Tolka Park? If not, is it inevitable that they will and when?
"...

Answer: With regards to that question, it has been quite clearly noted and stated that for Tolka Park to meet full UEFA requirements, in the near future it would require a complete re-development starting from ground zero. There is an area action plan in the re-development of Richmond Road as a result of Fintans Tunnel. It would be fair to say that we have people in the background interested in the ground.

Anyone else think Olly avoided the question on the sale of the lease?

[s-side hoop]

cryptic or what?? whats fintans tunnel?? are shels secretly planning on having their own entrance to the dublin port tunnel???? oily has lost the plot

[CollegeTillIDie]

Ok Local Councillor and Shelbourne Supporters Club member Fintan Cassidy is one of the leading residents opposing the Port tunnel... hence Ollie calling it Fintan's tunnel.... alles klar? :D

[BohsFans]

Q. "If the move to Dalyer falls through is it out to Donabate then after the sale of Tolka?"

Answer: I have already answered this question. We have entered with honest intent in discussions with Bohemians Football Club. As I said earlier, there is no Plan B. :eek:

[DmanDmythDledge]

Where is there a copy of the web chat?

Yes. I don't know what that implies though. I didn't expect him to answer it anyway.

[Dodge]

Tried his very best to be as diplomatic as possible but nice to see that beting Pats (and drawing with us) gives him so much pleasure.

Only nugget of info I got is that the D/Sport and the FAI are going to force lubs to groundshare. AFAIK Shels are the only club happy about the situation.

[Raheny Red]

there is no Plan B. :eek:

I know, I nearly crapped myself when I saw that! Never mind Plan B there should
be a C,D and E as well ffs

[pineapple stu]

What do the Shels fans make of that, RR? It's about the only thing of note he said in the entire webchat, and it hasn't warranted a mention on the threa don the Shels forum, as far as I can see.

Also, he says he's up in court on Monday but has until the 18th to pay the taxes - I wonder is he misreading those notices again?

[Raheny Red]

Maybe it went unnoticed with some people??

However, I have a feeling there is a plan B but Ollie doesn't want to let that slip
as it will reduce the chance of the groundshare (which won't happen btw).

The place where they should build it - is between Donaghamede and Portmarnock! There is a town being built called Newtown ironically! They are putting in thousands of homes, Dart station, schools, cinema, everything. That place is sreaming for a stadium!*

*Oh and I'm not only suggesting this as it is just down the road from me! :D :rolleyes: :)

[wws]

is it just me or does "a webchat with Ollie Byrne" sound a little seedy?

[pineapple stu]

Maybe it went unnoticed with some people??
With everyone bar non-Shels fans on foot.ie?

I suppose it's possible he does have a plan B and is keeping it from the fans to try and force the Dalyer issue. Doesn't say much for communication at the club though.

[s-side hoop]

Ok Local Councillor and Shelbourne Supporters Club member Fintan Cassidy is one of the leading residents opposing the Port tunnel... hence Ollie calling it Fintan's tunnel.... alles klar? :D

so that explains the flooding :D shels are diverting their drainage water into the tunnel, they are more evil than i thought

Communication is generally non existent so that's no suprise. It's very likely he's said that to put pressure on people to try and put the groundshare through or something like that.

[shelbourne1904]

In the WEBCHAT O.B. refers to the circumstances of the sale of the terraced ground,with the pitch still in situ but with the terraces filled in.
What are the circumstances that saw the ground go from Shelbournes ownership??

When did this happen??

Wasnt it nicknamed Pnuemonia Park??
