After all the ****e that's gone on over the last weeks and months, I'm not getting my hopes up until the teams walk out for the first game, but Cork have been refused a Premier license for this season.
And my sympathy for the fans of Cork city. You did nothing to deserve what you've been through.

Seems so. The club have a lot to do in the next few days. It's going to be a long old season ahead.
And I'd like to echo Peadars point that I have nothing but sympathy for the Cork fans. They've really been through the mill. At least they're masters of their own destiny now and will come back the better for it.
on the news this morning that bray are expected to be given back their premier status. time to snap up some out of contract players

Cork City Fc are to be no more, they will probably rename the club as they have done in the past and start from scratch, Dundalk will now get there European place and we will stay in the Premier and possible get more prize money as we have really moved up a place in the league as has everyone other than Bohs and rovers.
Roddy:"I rang Eddie Gormley last night to take one or two of them.." (Players from Cork)
dont mention that r lad, you should be barred for that :-)
Congrats boys. Hope you stay up and we play you in the league next year!
Cheers man, indeed your more than welcome to come up, sure as far as i know there will be no relegation next season as the Fai want a bigger premier, extending it by 2 clubs, so all you have to do is finish first or second, ahead of shels, derry, finn harps, cork (or what ever there going to be called) and maybe longford. First division will be a lot more interesting than the prem this year and thankfully we wont be there.
It's impossible to relegate you lot it seems! You deserve the place, we'll see you in Belfield in a month or so.
Do you still play in that rugby stadium (well hole in the ground with a stand)?
That's the one. It's a nicer stand though. The hole is still the hole; not much we can do about that bar spend a million on drainage.
still would not be enough, but then again, the college has plenty of money so you never know.
I'd imagine whatever about the other part of the name, they will still be Cork ;)Quote:

Where does that leave Foran now??
BTW Congrats.
the fai will probably change the rules during the season to a, 2 down and 4 up or something just to get rid of us and probably ucd and then derry, cork, shels and probably yourselves would be up, kick out 2 small teams and bring in 4 bigger teams with more potential.Quote:

C'mon now, how many times were we relegated last year, and we're still in the Premier. While it was shocking to see the FAI bend over backwards for Cork over the last few months, I don't think we can claim to be victims at this stage. We've cut our cloth accordingly and are reaping the benefits. Ideally 2010 would see an increase to a 12 team league, no teams going bust (!!!) and Bray staying up based on points won.Quote:

Looking forward to our games with your lot next season, always tight affairs.
On another note, very positive news from Gormley - "Now I will be looking to strengthen the squad with a few experienced players ahead of the Premier League kick-off to compliment the very young players we have already signed".
I thought the youngs lads have done exceptionly well in pre season, and i quote Pete Mahon from last nights game "Jesus Eddie, ya's ****ing battered us tonight"
Very impressed with young O'Neill, seems to be getting better and better with each game, pace to burn as well.
He is full time with Sligo.
Holy mother of God we have to play in Belfield 'Bowl' again.
Ha, you are having a turkish there! Didn't you know that Cork have been victimised in this whole debacle?Quote:

As for Sunday football for your home games, ye know best what suits but it is no coincidence why most of the league play on a Friday! I guess Sligo have their own reasons, hardly travelling fans but no doubt they do better from that all the same. Ye are in an ideal position trains and proximity to Dublin to really go for it on a Friday night, nail it down as your night and get promoting it.
Confirmed that we're sticking with Friday night football. Thank god!
You will be pleased to know the the UCD Bowl was pitch of the year last season. But the bad news is the rugby is still on when you come to play in the first round of games so it will be in bits.Quote:

Don't bother coming.
Oops, slightly ruins the joke!Quote:

We'll have to call youz "Wands" or something just to annoy ye.

They tried changing it a few times but its just not popular to change it here to a friday night.
bring on the smallest league of ireland fan base, with there typicial out of tune number "come on you boys in blue" (only dublin gaa fans and sing that one properly(up the dubs by the way))and dont forget there biggest hit, the all famous "coll-ege, coll-ege etc". Should make for a cracking atmosphere alright.
Well would you look at this! Could Bray Wanderers finally have a rivalry brewing?Quote:
