Pats merge with Francis to form SuperSaints Dublin 07/03/01 10:17:35
St Patricks Athletic are forming a new entity called SuperSaints Dublin which will come into its own at the end of the coming season - to that end St Francis no longer exist - the Saints are merging with St Pats - there wont be a St Francis in the Eircom League First Division this year - the club officially folded. St Pats will operate as usual out of their Richmond Park base this season but now own the ground at Baldonnell which has superb playing and training facilities - indeed the Republic of Ireland are now based there for home games. So the Super Saints now includes the club previously known as St Francis - they might be playing in Baldonnell by the end of next season and theres now a vacancy in the Eircom First Division for next season. St Patricks Athletic have called a press conference at the CityWest Hotel this evening.
