alright, none, no chance. Its dying on its feet. Who are we kidding. Lets shut down the league and the messageboard and, if nothing else, save us all having to read the shiite that you feel necessary to spout.
What are you on about? I have not just gone and made this up you know !Quote:

What a muppet you are. Not once did our chairman state we would be going part-time. read this:
http://www.derrycityfc.net/season/08...hp?storyid=340
Exactly, he said it might be an option but never said it was definite.
Hold on Not Dc bashing, but thats what he said and this was repeated by blue and white kelly during his commentary!:pQuote:

If the Harps lad heard the same as me then i am certain i am right. Terrible news not only for Derry but for the league as a whole.
Yes it was something like that alright, i would be very worried if i was a Derry fan.Quote:

I think you might find what he said was "PAYING" fans at every game, so not including season ticket holders, of which we have quiet a few, (somewhere around 1600), total gates are way above that,Quote:

he did mention if we didnt get more bums on seats or more support from businesses in the city, we may need cut backs in the size of our squad to pay for staff, an example of which would be a commercial manager.
Far from the bull**** your spouting, it was a very positive progressive statement and shows the intent of our new board to get a more professional off field setup, which at present is basically volunteers.
Yes there is a small possibility we may have to go some sort of mix of part-time and full-time at some stage to fund the stadium and commercial side of the team, without getting into debt, but ALL to guarantee a full-time squad.
It was all very positive and progressive.
What do ya mean??Quote:
