I know with Flancare that another company has being formed.. So I dont think it will effect it too much Flancare will still be on our jerseys next season.. They still give money to us every season!
Met two FC Union Berlin supporting Germans on Friday night after the game and one of them was a Dundalk fan after heading to college in DkIT in 1999-2000.Quote:

there were some Leverkusen and VFL Bochum fans in the away end at Tolka. They had us learning some chants, I think their rivals from Rot Weiss Essen were in the lego stand
Good God I hope they teach the football fans of this country some alternatives to that dreadful St Pauli song.
:rolleyes: It must be great looking down and shouting at others from the top o' the pile!Quote:

Supporters here have become disilliunsioned with the results on the pitch this season(see leauge table).Couple that with the time and day of the game and then you have attendance meltdown.
By the way,there was double+ the attendance mentioned,not great by our standands or by any standard but understandable in the circumstances.
Well done on yer leauge ribbon btw and hope to be playing yee again next season in the Prem
I knew there was no way 250 was right.Quote:

Rounds off a good season attendance-wise for us.
What's the mood like in Cork re: next season? Do the fans think Dunne can take the club forward or do they want change?
happy to give him another transfer window to sort things out, weve had a good end to the season and hes starting to find his team. bring in a proper striker or two and a left winger and we might push on a good bit.

I think this year will stand to the current squad, we lost so many points this year in games where we were one or two goals up. They need to be able to concentrate for the whole game and no drop so deep and i think we'll be fine. One or two additions definitely would be great, but we have the bones of a good team there already.Quote:

I've seen Cork 4 times this season and have been impressed every time. They look to be a good footballing side and only seem to be 1 or 2 players short of challenging for a European spot next season.
Extratime announced 550 as the attendance in Flancare tonight. Poor.
