The new team will be playing in 1B, unless Park get promoted!
At first,i didnt like the idea at all..in fact i was one of the few who rejected it but now,after speaking with people who have given 30 odd years to the club my opinion has changed. If Stoney and Co. think this is what needs to be done then who am i to disagree.Quote:

lifford lost their heads in the last 15 mins when their 2 guys got the line for abusing the ref
avenue did well considering they had 10 men from teh 25th min on an they deserved their win totally

Boys I was as surprised as anybody as this was kept under wraps until final details were agreed. It was then taken to both committees for ratification and final agreement. Neither club is folding as such. Both clubs are amalgamating pooling resources like administrators, managers, coaches, facilities and players. Team will play as Park for 1 year but with new colours and crest and be renamed the following season.Quote:

I wasn't involved but this is my understanding and I stand to be corrected on any of these points.
Personally its an end of an era as such having played for Newtown for 20+ years but its a sad sign of the times and was neccessary for both clubs to go forward
fair enough but no doubt a lot of other people involved will have other views also .. :ball:Quote:

Its sad news alright, but the state of things at the moment, somfin has to be done:(
Yes..
it will be sad to see newtown go at the end of the season...no more talkin themselves up for silverware at the start of the year on here and then ending up with nothing:p
are newtown 'too good' for the clare league?? personally i think that park rangers should have to play in the clare league since they are located in clare and a good distance from the border but thats another topic
I dont think that was ever going to happen. Too many clubs in Shannon for too long. I know both clubs are from Clare but for any improvement I think Limerick is the only option.Quote:

well said a sad day for clare league and a big loss to clare league but an even sadder day for all the true newtown people out there who gave their all to club over the last 31 years :(Quote:

On another note I cannot believe this news with Newtown. Its a huge loss to Clare soccer as they have brilliant facilities and some fine players. ( i think they had 5 players on this years oscar traynor squad)
Will they have a strong team for thursday night and remainder of season??
which one of the shannon based clubs is going out of business??
