2 the clubs name was dragged through the mud for 12 months, alienateing the club to local supporters, and the knock on affect was less revenue entering the club,
this is a debth that accumulated over 3-4 years, and the thing people dont seem to realise is that other clubs have done the exact same as us, but the difference is they got together and helped there club, Athlone, Rovers, Sligo, Cork, and Shelbourne, all of which had debths equal to or more than ours,
