Drogs new Stadium - Part 2

It's money stopping them joining Dundalk. We can't pay top dollar compared to other clubs. Everyone knows that most LOI players are mercenaries. I don't blame them either since their career is short.

If it's the pitch that's the quoted problem then maybe they are afraid of being caught out by a fast ball that doesn't have a pool of water or sod to slow it down.

Ultimeately, it is money. Non one can blame them.

Look at Pat's players. One minute they are kissing the badge. However, if they have a decent season, they are joining Shams.

However, it is not the club that is behind this stadium, it is a commercial consortium who want the additional revenue for renting the pitch out to junior clubs, other sports, and events.

So Vincent Hoey and his cronies havent given up trying to recoup their money for their previous abortive plans after all. Was wondering why Hoey hung in there and didnt cut and run - or why Drog fans didnt run these guys out of the club all-together tbh. Its starting to sound a bit like the previous efforts to move out of United park albeit on a smaller scale. 3g pitches are everywhere now so can no longer see the commercial benefit as there may have been. But as i was once told by a Drogheda director, Drogs wouldnt need the revenue that may be generated by a 3G pitch like Dundalk would.

Now that GM has left Dundalk FC i wonder has he headed down the M1 for a piece of Drogheda action as it all sounds very like his rhetoric that we bought in to - almost to our demise! We have a YDC or big shed as our Louth neighbours call it out the back of Oriel if ye want to take it off our hands and get you started on becoming a proper community based club, we also might have some slightly used and scorched artificial grass ye could have too!
