    If the money is there as you say, I can't see many problems for next season. The club have a year then to look at where it might have to restructure and who knows what can happen in the mean time?

    2. I didnt agree one bit about the set up of the club, i was a little interested when I heard about the possible move to Rush or Lusk, but that never took off, and apart from a tidy side to look at the club never made an impression with the public with 3. home crowds frequently under 1,000, I thought they actually devalued the Premier Division at times. It was a 4. totally pointless project in my view.

    Next season, a top 5 of the two Rovers, Pats, Dundalk & Derry has a nice look to it in terms of quality, fans and tradition, Bohs are the obvious ones to miss here, but they will be back at some point.
    Oriel, the following are important to remember:
    1. I heard the exact same thing about Dundalk back in 2000, and again in 2002. The same can be said about any club - even Manchester United winning all before them, what else can they do? A club only goes as far as it's management want it to, the community plans and work of the club are something that would put our own to shame.
    2. Why? Should we just close off all club registration? We make do with what we have? I only question this as clubs form, re-form and disband , it's life. Were you against Cork City FORAS and new Derry City? Or are they different because they're acceptable?
    3. If attendances are anything to go by then our own club should have been wound up years ago. I don't know if you were there when we struggled to compete with poor Limerick and Waterford sides back in 2000? There was a time when crowds in Dundalk were struggling to get past 500, so if this devalues the league then we should immediately get rid of UCD, Drogheda, Bray etc etc. If anything SF added to the league with their brand of football which probably cost them.
    4. They finished a few points ahead of us, as well as continuing to contribute to the community. Your view is your view, though you need to balance it.

    Please don't take this as a go at you, you're entitled to your opinion and you're right insofar as it points out the dangers of a single benefactor, we've had it in Dundalk long enough. If we start knocking other clubs pretty soon we'll find ourselves sliding down with knocks ourselves!

  5. Thanks From:

    Bang on the money.

    Something that every DundalkFC supporter should ALWAYS remember.

    Gerry Gannon has removed 750,000 investment.
    Ticket prices have come down from €15 to €10 so unless the attendances improve then that is a 33% decrease in gate receipts

    So seeing as these facts have come from both the national media and the ticket prices from your own club why would I not believe them? How can the money already be there?

    Gannon hasnt removed anything. You cant say that our gates receipts are down when we havent played out the new season yet. Repost that next november if it applies.
    How can the money already be there? Are you being serious?

    This seems to contradict what ALL media sources are saying.

    I have said that unless your attendances improve you will be down 33% on gate receipts. Do you really believe that your attendances will rise by 1/3?? Give an honest answer please

    The attendances would have to rise by 1/2 to keep gate receipts the same BTW.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Read your post carefully and try and understand what you are posting. There is no point in me trying to break it down bit by bit for you when you can do that yourself.

    Lep, that post is meaningless and is bordering on trolling. If you want to counter the statements made in a post, do so. Please give over the "I've made this as simple as I can" nonsense.

    Oops you are correct. Makes the Leps posts seem even more foolish.

    I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt about being a WUM but your last post proves you are. Good luck with the money tree harvest in Lusk!

    No its not. Ive explained it all in previous posts. Its funny how you dont say anything about the wind up posts and post trolling comments yourself before editing.

    The original post you made and the remarks about him were a disgrace.

    Back on topic, it's good to hear Fingal seem to be secure for next season.

    This is my last post on the thread and on the board . I enjoyed the discussion no matter if it was postitive or negative against Fingal but there isnt a point to carry on posting if your posts keep getting removed for so called trolling even if those posts are made in reply to obvious wind up posts.
    Thanks and goodbye.
