What sort of involment had MU in their local community over the past 5-6 years? I dont mean sending a couple of players out to a national school every second month or so. I don't understand how a established club can be so islotated from their community. It's obvious they were with the crowds and lack of sponsors. I guess having a team of Dubs didn't help but did the people running MU alienate themselves?
Pulling out mid season is far worse than going amateur for the remainder of the season and not getting anymore points
I've asked earlier - were attendances down on the previous premier season or last season? It started as the inability to find a sponsor, now there appears to be an attempt to piggy back on dundalkkk's attendance excuse.

Monaghan kit worn. Monaghan United XI then.
Is it not a case of Monaghan Utd are still a club, but no longer play in the league?

Roddy said last week on MNS that he was still training some of the Monaghan players to keep them fit and was going to organise a game for these players so they can showcase their skills to other clubs in the league
Ha. I'm sure Dundalk will be right in there to offer them a decent wage and the sort of security that Mons just couldn't.
Roddy logic :)
Far as I'm aware you don't need to be a Airtricity team to be a football club. White horse, they needed a kit as they had none since there not a team. They could have worn a real madrid replica kit would that have meant they were a Real Madrid XIQuote:

Yeah Sean cause we just did it for the craic like cause we don't have a sugar daddy

What has not having a sugar daddy got to do with anything? It's hard for the people who gave so much time and money to Monaghan Utd over the years to see their club fold but worrying about a few jerseies comes across very bitter or tight fisted when the players were left with such a uncertain future, probably with no redundancy and having mortgages or loans to pay. Jeez....
Galway didn't have a sugar daddy last year. They saw out the season though.Quote:

Whatever you want to think sullen. If we had stayed in LOI we would have lost everything that everyone has worked years for and left a lot of good businesses who have supported us down the years high and dry. We have a conscience and felt it was the only responsible thing to do. Yeah it sucks for all the other clubs that we have gone mid season but if you were banking on us bringing you loads of money then maybe you should have a look at your figures too.
