Ignore him. He hasn't a breeze. Galway's attendances this year are only marginally better than ours as well so I'm not sure why he's getting so aggravated.Quote:

If Ollie was in charge we'd still be overspending in the first division and probably not exist today.
It's wrong to relate the two.
In fairness we don't get a massive surge of fans for big games. I'd expect a big crowd in Tolka for the playoff but nothing more than 2000.Quote:

TBH honest, at the moment I don't think I and most Shels' fans really give a crap when the fans come once they do. I'd say the same goes for most clubs.
I honestly don't know why you're so worked up on me dismissing the comparison between Shels and Derry. I'm posting here to get the latest news on Derry, not to have a meaningless argument about comparing two League of Ireland clubs.Quote:

My interest is purely in seeing how the FAI deal with this.
Best of luck to all derry lads here in the future, whatever happens.
17:24: Ok after a number of phone calls and chats, I'm hearing MAYBE we might have something in the next 20 minutes. Maybe.
(from Extratime.ie)
Ten minutes later and we still have nothing :( The Fai sure know how to annoy the hell out of people
If they start digging at finances there might be a lot of things to find.Quote:
