United supporters are openly admitting that the club is gone. I hope that another club can be founded to keep football alive in south Louth.Quote:

Whats the deal with ownership of United Park - Can it be sold off to pay creditors if Drogs are wound up?Quote:

In theory, no. You still need covered seats - less than the Premier but more than United Park, I think?
I'd imagine it could be brought up to standard without too much investment seeing as it was allowed for the premier for the last few years. Seeing as the FAI own it I'm sure they might consider putting a lick of paint on it before Drogheda Franchise FC move in.
I'd say a new entity would be given a certain amount of time to meet the full spec.
And a more pertinent question may be "Would United Park even pass A Championship standards for a licence?" And I don't think there are any such standards?
Judging by what Mervue have I'd say yeah, no problem.
Is it possible the fai buy the ground. Then lease it back to another club. Would this would be a good move to keep football alive in Drogheda?Quote:

United Pk would be worth a lot more than that.
