Meant that the Corkies were saying that a plan was needed, and they've just been through examinership. Agree they seem to have had less of a plan than was thought a few weeks ago.

After the 30 days is up, can Drogheda get another extention? Or is the next month the end game?

I think they're at the 70 day stage now? 100 days is live or die, I think.

No more Friday nights at United Park, away days home and abroad, dreams of success or hope of a new stadium. Time is running out for the grand old club and at this point it appears that liquidation is the likely outcome.

Sorry to be the party pooper in the season of goodwill, but despite Trojan efforts by so many and that newfound Drogheda spirit, it looks as if it is all going to be in vain.

So whats that, 200k of the 500k needed or that include the original 100k and still 400k away? Vincent Hoey said that he thinks a deal can be struck so they only have to pay about half so... does that twisted logic mean youre almost there? lol

Saw on Kildare County website that the Licensing Committee meet on Feb 18

you have to have all our football related debts cleared by the end of January plus have a repayment schedule agreed with players for wages due.Id say the february date is the one where the results get sent to the clubs.
