Bohs are lucky to have the bars on top of that. I know Dan McDonnell mentioned it on LOI Central a few weeks back after a particularly poor showing from Bohs the bars were still hopping. I believe it was after the last game against Dundalk. Whoever it was revenue from stuff like that is huge for any clubQuote:

We spent roughly 4m too. Running women's teams, youth teams etc ion top of mens senior team is an expensive business

American investor interested in Dundalk,was behind Flippo getting the job a few years ago and still works with him,interested in multi club European operation with a club in Switzerland already acquired
And begin the cycle all over again? I know Dundalk are desperate, but this surely can't be the option? Questions over the debt remain too. Whatever about local creditors, owing money to Revenue is the big one.
Someone posted an article on SM where one of the clubs this guy owns, signed his son who has no professional experience and only played at a college level.Quote:

Anyone that's part of a multi club model can't be evil.Quote:

In 2022 our combined membership/ST/ticket sales was a little over 1m with an average attendance of 3,209.
Dundalk wages now paid
I would have thought that Bohs had a lot more than a few hundred season ticket holdersQuote:

All members have access to the Jodi and priority over STs for away tickets. I think the only actual season tickets we can sell now are for the uncovered Des Kelly stand.Quote:

Wrong thread I know but I wonder how the fundraising is going for the stadium. Maybe the hope is that investment would expedite the process. In a weird way, Harps would be a more attractive proposition to invest in presently than Dundalk.Quote:
