I can't understand the reasoning behind this. The club's PR is terrible. I would have thought releasing info when players signed would boost the fans hopes and also lead to season tickets been sold.

The club has never had to do this in previous seasons so why this year?Quote:

I'd say no one has been signed for the club as they are all waiting to see if the club gets a license.
The February deadline approaches and there are a lot of questions to answer before they get a licence.
I've said that too in the past, if a players signs then release the news is the way i look at it. But in saying that, this is the way they do things and nout much we can do about it :) They have been burned in the past with players saying we'll sign, the club releasing a press statement and then the player not signing so i suppose they just want to cover themselves and do it all at once when they know the majority of the squad... Doesn't make things easy for the fans though.

Has Hyland moved for good or is he on loan from Pats?
Has Adam Mitchell not resigned ?
Yeah Dodge, AFAIK he has... Any info on him?
On going talks with Mitch from what i hear. Fingers crossed he signs on again.
Devo was in the paper saying a few lads are coming on trial and they are also in talks with a few other players at the moment too so there will be more players coming in before the season starts.
Hi lads, I'm looking for the following players positions, any help would be much appreciated!
Paul Clifford

Timothy Hawe
Neil O’Kane

Bidemi Afolabi is a striker as far as im aware
Ex Longford town goalkeeper from last season Craig Hyland is linked with Bray Wanderers acc to todays Sun.
Great to have Shane o neill and Mitch back again..
Sorry missed this. Eoin's a right back. Played for Ireland schools for the past couple of years. never played in the leageu for us but played twice in the Leinster Senior Cup last year. He initally signed for the under 19s in 2011.
Small and quick, he has the typical full back build. He's still only 18 (19 in July). He was with Belvedere before that
3 signed from Leinster senior league
Looks a decent squad now -first four games in League look tough-Shel will be up for it and Sligo away will tell us if we are up for it!
What time is the Wexford game ?
