Neither do Drogheda....
We still play in Turners Cross though, the best ground in the league.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
You're a funny guy
Yes we do .we just have it wrapped up in legal nonsense so it cant be sold from under us to pay our debts
Sure you do...keep telling yourselves that if it makes you feel better.Yes we do .we just have it wrapped up in legal nonsense so it cant be sold from under us to pay our debts
how do we not ? who owns our staduim then ?
That would be the FAI...or did you miss that deal where you sold it to them?
You're wrong Micls. It can only be sold if the proceeds are used to build a new stadium for the club, proceeds that the club get (less €50k owed to the FAI).
The FAI cannot sell it or give to anyone else. Theoretically the MFA could kick Cork City out and give the ground to another Cork team. That cannot happen to United Park.
Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week
exactly - deal was done in early 80's. Funny how some on this site seem to make out it was a recent deal of some sorts. Lucky it was done or else I am sure since then Utd park would have gone down the Milltown route.
Irrelevant. The FAI own the ground, even though there are conditions attached
Only if there were another team playing league football, Cobh for example.
However it has no relevance. Im not claiming we own the ground, or that the situations are the same.
Im simply saying you dont own United Park. This is a fact. If you did, you could use it to ensure you didnt go to the wall on thursday. If you do go to the wall on Thursday then Im sure the FAI will let some other team use it
Where?
did you hear the one about the only club refused a prem licence 2008 due to its playing surface and then had to replace same surface to obtain a licence for the 2009 season who came on to this thread complaining about other grounds pitches. stones and glasshouses my sonYou're a funny guy
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
Giller to take over Drogs managerial role?!!??
Exactly - just as the bank own everyone's home.

If the same tests that were applied to our pitch were applied to Monaghan's cabbage patch i'm sure it would have failed to. Your pitch is an absolute disgrace. Bumpy and overgrown is an understatement.
Em no.....Exactly - just as the bank own everyone's home.
Im sure you know full well the difference but in just in case.
In a mortgage, a bank loans you money. You use the money yo buy a house. You owe the bank money. Of course if you don't pay, the bank can go after your assets i.e. the house.
In your situation, you sold your ground to the FAI. Yes there were conditions, the fact that it would only be sold to help you buy a new stadium.
Its quite simple, if you owned United Park you probably wouldnt be in examinership. You'd have it as an asset that can keep you alive.
Your club might go to the wall on Thursday because you dont own United Park.
But if you wanna believe differently work away
Has it struck anyone as kindof odd that the government has had no input into this at all.Here we have an industry that employs people who pay their taxes,or are supposed to anyway,in difficulty.If jobs go the taxes will be lost and labour will have to be paid out.Why are they not involved in some supportive manour as they would in any other industry.Ironic that it is they who are the major threatening debtors in the Drogs case.
I havent even mentioned the fact that if the league was finacially supported the anual leaue winners might be able to compete in Europe and would maybe fill the empty hotel rooms when the visiting teams come to play in the champions league.In other countries its called tourism income?
Buit I suppose we dont need the money that other countries relish.Ours has to be bringing Americans to castles.Money is Money no matter what the scvource??
"You'll not see nothing like the Shelbourne team"
The government has much bigger problems than the league right now.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Exactly, they are prepared to let SMEs go belly up even when they are trying to keep up with a thriving demand, not having ring fenced any money to help support them.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
That and they might bankrupt the country with whole the banking thing. Y'know, trivial stuff like that.
