Would also make our CEO Gerry Matthews a liar as he has stated that we are going to break even this season. That would be impossible if we owe the taxman money.
Agree with that - but from what I am hearing you may very well be in a glass house throwing stones.......... Again.
Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week

Only word of mouth from someone inside the revenue.
If you think you don't owe the revenue a cent then fair enough, carry on believing. Gerry Matthews still putting 5000 per week into your club to keep it afloat?
Our directors told us we'd be in a brand new stadium in 2007, well meant, but didn't work out.

You're behind the times.
He was putting 5,000 a week into the club. Now he's only putting in his time, energy and management skills. Dundalk FC will at least break even this season, but I expect a profit.
Have you access to the club accounts ?

What chance do Drogs have of coming up with the cash?
Examiner fees are 250k which need to be paid up front. We could only do this by selling Mooney. I would need to look at paying back someone like 50% of the debt. Again we included cut from sell on clause & cut of this seasons prize money neither of which Drogs have access to.
Nail on the head on what I think too! no matter how much supporters raised, it would still fall well short on what is needed to get us out of this mess. You had sell on clauses and setanta money coming in and still ye only just got away with it - we have none of that
I dont have a f***** clue how were gona get outa this mess!!

Are the supporters doing anything to help ?I dont have a f***** clue how were gona get outa this mess!!

Well if the club dont give us any information on what their plans are, what this 'rescue package' theyre working on is, how they plan to get us out of this mess,, we're in the dark - so what can we do?
the lack of info from the club over the last few weeks is unbelievable!!
Some lads are working on setting up a supporters trust alright - hopefully they get it sorted soon!! In saying that theres no chance a supporters trust will save us - its gone too far for something like that to save us.
Were up sh!t creek - too much owed to revenue and i cant see them letting us get away with it. Cork just about got away with it - we owe nearly double what cork owed i think (someone can correct me if im wrong on that as i dont have exact figures) and we dont have setanta money nor sell on money from former players being sold on
If we're not bailed out or if the board dont have something up their sleeves with this 'rescue package', the club will fold imo regardless of what supporters do. Could start from scratch then with a new debt free club as the FAI will still own united park for senior football in the town i suppose.
thank God we dont own united park!!

If you get enough supporters together or you can raise enough cash you'll get answers quick enough from your owner!!
Money talks...
Never too late to start asking questions. If you can show you have serious cash coming in or that you speak on behalf of enough supporters you'll get answers.

Pure bull. No-one has access to the Revenue's tax files, particularly posters on an internet discussion board.
What will you claim next? Dogs on the street?
Woof woof.
Do you think its a possibility Cosmo? What happens with the current owners? Would they have to make way / be bought out or could the club just re-invent itself a bit like limerick?
Amen
Complete and Utter rubbish. if we had problems with the revenue they would be long on our back. Make no mistake about it.
BTW you should read post #48 in relation to libel laws and how they stand. You should always be wary too about making comment on effin hearsay.
Stop deflecting attention from your own club

If you fold and start from scratch, I'd imagine United Park would get sold to pay the creditors. There'd be uproar if it weren't, and if the FAI deal is only that it can't get sold unless Drogheda United (as opposed to AFC Drogheda) get a new ground, there'd be nothing stopping it. You've then got a case where AFC Drogheda start off homeless.
If Drogheda were to fold, why would the FAI sell United Park to pay off creditors of a defunct football club? It doesn't make any sense.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
The assumption is that they wouldn't have any choice.
I don't know the ins and outs obviously; just speculating (which wasn't clear from the original post; mea culpa). Say it's only held in trust or something; could the creditors then force its sale?
If Drogheda United were to fold, could Drogheda Town or Boyne Rovers step up to the A Championship or First Division perhaps? Would Drogheda United fans be willing to support either of these clubs if their own club did fold?
Its only libel if its not true.....

C'mon prove that what you are saying is true and prove that our board and especially our Chairman are all liars and deliberately misleading Dundalk supporters. The onus is on you remember. Celdrog you can't go round making unsubstainiated statments that we haven't paid our revenue bill.
Long Live King Kenny
You are the one spouting libel law - its up to you to prove I'm lying if you want to show libel.
Show me a piece of paper showing Dundalk do not owe the revenue a single cent?
Sure you couldn't pay your players last year.
