Cork City denied a licence; club to be wound up; FORAS to enter First Division

[micls]

I'll do that next month when I've the dosh. It'll be an individual membership though, Foot.ie can't afford your high-falutin' business memberships, plus of course there'd be a conflict of interest.

Fantastic

If you don't mind some constructive feedback, ye've disabled right-click on the site, which means people can't copy the email address to send payment. A Pay With PayPal button would work best though, they're dead easy to make on the PayPal site. If you need a hand, give me a shout.

(Getting technical, you should get right of the right-click script anyway, if someone wants to steal your content they'll find a away around it, by just disabling javascript, taking a screenshot, installing Firebug, etc. And it's terrible from an accessibility point of view.)

Feedback always welcome. It can be passed on. I imagine that site will become somewhat redundant in the near future with the new interim club site online. Id imagine it'l be moved over.

It seems everyone is getting behind it. A fan owned club is definitely the way forward in this league.

Yep, Bohs have shown us the way to cleaner, better finances

I think thats the problem... the fans are passionate about the club etc and have the clubs best interests at heart, but the real problem is that the club aren't ran like a business. Fans wouldn't be able to do that imo

Guys, is it true that Cork FORAS will now swap places with Bray in Div 1?

[Dodge]

Bray are in the premier. 100%

Looks like a straight swap then, will Cork Foras still have a large following this season lads????

New crest looks like a sales pitch. "Cork City (available) for a scoop"

Yeah I read it the same way. It's like an offer to go drinking - "Are you going for a scoop?"

By the way, I couldn't find this thread. I was looking in the First Division section.

Don't want to rain on your parade but Derry City were getting regular 8-10,000 crowds in 1985 in the second tier.

What type of support will they have this season, and would they have a large following for away games?

They'll get relegated here just as soon as TNB runs out of appeals. So sometime next year is my guess.

I remember those times.That was a very exciting Derry team with Kristic,De Game ,Da Silva & others. I wonder where all those fans went ? Derry hadn't had senior football for some years before that time I think so it was something new.These things tend to come in waves. We had great crowds down here in the late sixties & early seventies,in fact we had over 20k at a game here in 1972,then a barren spell.Then in the eighty's it picked up again & here we are down again but I'm sure things will pick up again.
If the League & the Clubs were run properly I'm sure people would come back again.

Who was playing and how did it go for ye?

I thought as a Waterford fan you'd know all that or maybe you're just a johnny come lately
You would see by my crest that I wasn't unduly worried by the result although I did have the pleasure of seeing Cork Hibs beat Waterford to win their first trophy in 1969.
