From this weeks "Phoenix"
Longford Towns Own Goal
Just three years after winning the FAI cup, Brian Fallon Hardware Ltd has just had Judgements of €19,000 registered against club chairman James Hanley, Secretary Francis Murtagh and Longford town Football Club(LTFC)
The Judgements arose from goods supplied to the club 2 years ago for which the club has failed to pay......
(article not reproduced in it's complete form)
Two ****ing years ago and still to pay, serious questions need to be asked of the board wtf is going on. No programmes (last few games last year due to bill to printers) building materials not paid for for over two years, players unpaid. Things need to be seriously addressed and some communication to the fans would be nice but that doesn't usually happen.
Demotion to the first division (Come join us!!!)Quote:

the printing thing was the most obvious sign of problems - rumour was that a number local printers were owed money therefore, a programme could'nt be arranged.. didnt know bout this though.. hard to know if this is isolated but your have to say thats unlikely:mad:Quote:

Its only a small amount of what is owed out to people I'd say.
He's going to try to fit a few windows instead
delete....
He was only trying to escape, they were riding him rock solid at the time
Your equivalent to Rovers' dry cleaners and Shels' everythingQuote:

Cool, thanks.Quote:

It's all being dealt with, at the detriment of our playing budget as it should be. There's a Supporters Trust formed for this purpose,and to date there's 106 members paying €25 a month. Plus sponsorship has increased. That judgement isn't being enforced as a schedule has been agreed as it has with other creditors including the printers, there's a programme tomorrow night, such as it is anyway. We had budgets for players in the last couple of years that were too optimistic and now we've had to scale back. It's going to be a tough year but we'll definitey be the better for it in the long run if people stick with it.
As for Paisley,there's questions to be asked about the make up of the tribunal panel given one particular person's role in the start of the situation.
What annoys me most longfordian is you are the one giving the fans this information. The board are telling us nothing!!
