has the boycott stopped yet Battery?

No still continues and will do until current committee steps down I would think. Public information meeting Thursday week being held by concerned members group (I am one of them).

Also there is a consortium looking to take over and they have requested information but the info hasn't been forthcoming.

Can someone clarify something for me regarding Athlone.

I am under the impression that Athlone Town are a members club. Is that correct? If so, why is a Trust required?

Yes a members club is correct. Independent trust needed ready.to take over club if needed and get it back know based in community and not the way it is now

Almost same situation here at there was in Cork. They had Busgate we had PlayerGate. Club is in mess locally. Has a very bad name locally and has lost complete touch with community in my opinion.

But we had no control over the club, surely you can just vote out the board and take control?

Yes it will happen. A vote of no confidence already took place and was passed unanimously. It will happen give it time.

I believe that about 66% need to vote in favour for it to be binding. I guess when independent review is released it will give some guidance.

Sounds a lot like us, too many bridges burnt locally and now it's coming back to bite us. Good to see St.Mel's brewery getting involved with us lately tho. The more local businesses involved the better.

you know the reason for that outspoken ? remember St Mels sponsoring bohs town game a few mths back... there must have being a few town board members heads being rolled before over this

Attendance at Wexford Youths v Cork was 525.

Limerick v cobh 1191

Not that it matters but 2022 in Gothenburg for BK Hacken - Cork City last Thursday

Funny when you look at the supporters Dundalk had in Iceland according to Setanta/eir there were 250 supporters = more than most first division sides barring Limerick

Inevitable, but still very clever. If they manage this properly, Markets Field will easily be a sell-out that day.

I highly doubt it any regular I have spoken to about it is gonna struggle to get there now and really Celtic Inter heads will have very little interest.

Same day as opening of EPL right? Unlikely to see any kind of sell-out.

Crazy really! While I enjoy watching the action from the Premier League and Championship across the water, I don't relate to watching it ahead of my local team if there was one.
