That was in the Sligo match thread on derrycitychat, mostly on the second page. There were a few comments about how problems may not be far away if crowds keep dropping.
I could well have missed stuff by the way, I shouldn't have been as definitive about it above. Wouldn't want people to think I obsessively read football forums!
Was just wondering as hadn't heard anything about it. Derry fans speculating about everyone then by the sounds of things!
Most clubs would be in trouble if crowds keep dropping all the same.
The Derry rumour mill is well known to be full of BS. Some of the stories that've been spread around the town over the years are mental. Our crowds have dropped a bit, but the players were paid as far as I'm aware. If someone can prove otherwise feel free:)
any idea if anyone outside the Dundalk Trust has put in a bid to buy the club
UEFA wont let you play in Europe if you owe monies to players or anybody else for that matter.Quote:

A week out of the loop. How's it looking?
i think we will generate enough funds to see out the season. a commendable amount of fundraising initiatives have been put together that really will hopefully bring in much needed resources.
if we can sort out the ownership issue sooner rather than later that will bring more a more long term certainty and assurance to more supporters and hopefully we can build on the club from where gerry left off.
apparently two bids are in. one from the trust but one unnamed. which is possibly fastfix/bond consortium. i havent checked my Euromillions tickets yet so I wont be putting in a bid as of yet.
Theres kind of a glorious irony here in that the same fans who were chanting about Bohs going bust a couple of years ago are out in Dalymount tomorrow with the begging buckets.
Regardless I hope ye survive.
I can guarantee you that none of the fans chanting about the demise of Bohs will be doing a bucket collection in Dalyer on Friday. Those idiots have long deserted the club!Quote:

Just like Some Shamrock Rovers paying double in when we played them 3 or so weeks ago, just like Derry going to the effort of making the "Save Dundalk" banner and donating something. Now Bohs are doing this bucket collection around the Jodi. A Pats fan has also got in contact personally looking to sort something out in them helping us.
Beyond the banter/hatred/ we may have for each other on the Terraces, it's amazing to see so many drop the rivalry and forget our differences. No matter how small it may be.
A big Thank you to all.
Dundalk based company i believe-
Fyffes banana split park :)Quote:
LMFM RADIO @LMFMRADIO A major company may be investing a 5 figure sum in Dundalk FC for the naming rights to Oriel park. Stay tuned to our sports news for more
Surely the split won't happen until later?Quote:

I hope the five-figure sum isn't ten grand... You lads need to do what you can to survive, but it would be a pity not to get value for it.
10k for a season is better than nothing for a season.Quote:
