I would assume that if that were to happen, it would put an end to the Youths.

Maybe someone who actually heard the interview could clarify.

didnt hear the interview but was told by my brother last april that 6 of his sites that he was developing(dunno where) were seized by the the bank because he couldnt afford to finish 'em.

Its quite evenly matched by Dundalk supporters as far as i can see .And some of the most anti Dundalk supporters i know are from the mid louth / Dunleer area .And by the way you would be most welcome in utd pk by any right minded supporter and ive seen a few ( Dundalk fans ) up there in the last few seasons .

I suppose each side will always see the other side as the instigators of the hostility.

Personally, I think it is regrettable as we share a small county in the shadow of an ever expanding Dublin.

However, when Drogheda were going through their financial woes, the only other fans who were defending them were Dundalk fans. Drogheda were also very supportive of Dundalk during our pitch problems a few years ago.

I regret this whole "punch and judy" stuff.

Yes, I'm from Fingal. Happy now? And that was a lovely picture you made. I'll stick it on me fridge.

Anyway, more serious stuff. Have any fans every thought about doing a AFC Wimbledon? Something maybe Cork City fans could look into? Just a thought.

There doesn't seem a need while clubs are still in existance (however tenuous). I suppose a more pertinent question may be how many people here are on their club's committees, helping ensure they won't go out of business.

I also apologise for the cheap Ipswich line, compounding Fingalian outrage with Sunderish. That also was a little jest. It's completely irrelevant and I childishly threw it in because you said my post was ****e. You're right: lots of people have made the same observation. Have you seen the Danger Here job on it? Just in case...;)

Anyway, you still haven't actually said, 'I am from Fingal'. Are you?

And now you have had your little rant and we are all the wiser for it. Can we get back on topic now.

If they were genuinely worried about the future, and the current owner was showing no interest in having fan involvement, they'd be wise to have some plan or plan of action in place.

Latch myself on to the easiest club to get to, which is Pats; while seeing what could be done about returning LOI football to Donegal.

Should have added in a proviso for that (i.e. Cork) alright. Realistically though, how many other clubs (Bohs?) are in that position? Almost all clubs in the league are in the position where any individual's or individuals' time would be better spent working with the current club.

There will always be a Derry City.

If we went bust, the club would be reformed and start again. As Macy says though, better to have the plan in place.

Does Macy's post apply to Derry?

(Genuine question)
