    Ye've sold the ground close on that many times, so it's much of a muchness really.

    (Also - Bohs being in "a spot of bother for now" is the biggest understatement since the look-out on the Titanic asked if anyone wanted an ice cube for their drinks, cos there was one approaching)

    that bit was edited in to my post, just for you. I knew you wouldnt be able to resist...
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Is that just another rumour heads like to pass around every year? The same was said on here at the end of last season. The only time we would use Tolka would be for the euro games .

All the fancy stuff can come later, but they have to start building their fan base in Lusk now. Could building a small, tidy, interim ground really cost that much more than the rent on Tolka would?
    Totaly agree. We need to get into Lusk as soon as possible(as a Rush man, I never thought id hear those words coming from my mouth). Santry has not been good for trying to grow a fan base from fingal. I think we may have a better chance out of santry (not guaranteed though). I think the plan is to try and at least get the pitch in place and some sort of stand. Money was released this year by the council for the project and it was to be started in November, but ill believe it when i see it. The stadium is not just for SF by the way and it was to be built regardless of SF going into it or not. The facility is for all sports in the area including football. Its only since the swords stadium has been put on the long finger that SF where now looking to go into the lusk project.

    SPORTING FINGAL may need to cash in on captain Shaun Williams after completing a review of their financial position.

    The north county Dublin outfit have confirmed that chief backer Gerry Gannon is reconsidering his involvement in the club three years into a planned five-year term. .........................

    It would take a huge transfer fee for Williams to replace the cash Fingal got from Gannon and Keelings.

    They got 750,000 from Gannon last year. How much from Keelings?

    Is there any hope the the council will be able to foot the bill?

    Glen Crowe, Gary O'Neill, Eamon Zayed and Colin Hawkins have already been told that their contracts will not be renewed.
    Looks like a sign that the current squad is being broken up.

    Wouldn't be sorry to see Fingal go belly up -- all players are mercenaries, but this lot just take the biscuit because there is nothing to be loyal to.

    There's already a sufficient number of clubs in Dublin, League needs some of the bigger clubs in the First Division not this vanity project, Sporting Barbie FC - no history, and hopefully no future.

    Hopefully the man with the hat and ratepayers in Fingal call the plug on this one.

    None at all. All city and county councils around the country are about to have their budgets slashed.

    Sports will now be seen as a luxury they can't afford.

    Any chance you can move the Bohs argument to another thread

    Just a quick reply to the shells girls on here who cream themselves everytime there is a mention of Fingal and finances in the papers.

    Dont get your hopes up just yet as Fingal will be stronger next year trust me as i know something you dont and you just concentrate on how to get that sad litle club of yours out of the first division .

    If I had a penny every time I read a Bohs/Shels/Derry/Cork/Drogheda fan said that on here I'd be able to buy Fingal out.

    It's just been reported the club have released four players and will be listening to offers for another.

    Are you on a different planet to the rest of us or what?
