Big investments at Home Farm. A possible route back into League of Ireland?
Harm Farm? Are they the ones that became Dublin City? Or Sporting Fingal? I can never remember!
The Dublin clubs have always been full of franchises that have come and gone... it makes it difficult to follow these things. James' Gate, St Francis, Shelbourne United, etc. :o
Looks good in fairness and they have great foundations there for a proper club.Quote:

Cork FC, Fordsons, Cork Hibs, Cork Celtic, Cork Alberts, Cork United, Albert Rovers, Evergreen United, Cork Bohs, Cork Athletic, Cork City I, Cork City II.Quote:

Except the fact that the Dubs assume all 'Cark' clubs are one homogenous mass because they exist outside the Pale.
In fairness, Home Farm would be one of the more traditional clubs and not one of the franchises.
To wind you up or maybe that no Cork club managed to last 30 years in the league of Ireland...Quote:
