I saw in todays mirror and sun that the town players were thinking of boycotting the bray wanderers game this weekend due to non receipt of wages but luckily enough it was averted as progress was made yesterday on their predicaments with the club itself,,
its being a strange week for the club, first gareth cronin gives a hard hitting interview on the players, he gets a fine for tapping a player and the players threathen to go on strike!
whatever will happen next? we win the cup!:eek:
That's a distraction we don't need.... hopefully we'll get to the semis!
it will be hard to win at home.. I will take the draw at home and see how we get on away in the replay!
Are we in bad trouble with the finances?
In late July I overheard 2 of yer lot complaining at training that they hadnt been paid since well before the Wexford cup game in June.Quote:

Wonder did they get sorted or are they still owed!
Never a dull moment.
They better play out of their skin tomorrow night. Making the journey up from Crok for it. Hopefully this financial issue will be sorted.
From reading the article it sounded like it was expenses of some description rather than wages, I think it said a "sum of money owed to some of the squad since near the start of the season". It didn't mention wages but maybe it was weeks that were owed. Either way hopefully it's been or is being sorted. You wouldn't imagine the finances could be really seriously bad as the wage bill is pretty low really though there's always other bills to pay I guess.Quote:

I heard the whole squad were owed a grand total of 400 euro between them!!! Hardly enough to go on strike for. Aren't Cork lucky they weren't playing for them or they wouldn't of fielded a team at all this season!!!
