    Keep believing Micls - why don't you ask Paul Doolin - he knows
    Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week

    Keep believing what? It doesnt make a tap of difference to me either way.

    Im simply looking at the facts. You cant sell the ground to save your club because you dont own it. If you owned it you could.

    Simple really....

    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.

    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??

    Even if the government had the slightest interest in helping the league out - which they don't - there wouldn't be an ounce of public sympathy for bailing out a league that most of the country at best ignore, and at worse look down on, that has got into trouble not through any change in market conditions or due to the credit crunch - but purely and solely because it can't run itself anything close to sensibly.

    I wouldn't even support a government bail out for an industry like that.

    Clubs are trying to keep up with thriving demand? Come on. Even for you, that's ridiculous.

    No, I quoted you word for word. There's no club in this league beating customers away with a stick. There's no club in this league "trying to keep up with a thriving demand".

    I agree with Pineapple Stu, youre talking DUNG "AFACE"....
    And as for your Celdrog, I am right behind you kid as every genuine fan is also that the Drogs come out and I for one "BELIEVE" they will as well as keep their Premier Division status!

    Stu, i didn't mean to imply that any club was in that position. I was commenting on the inaction of the government to assist SMEs in the business community (not football clubs).

    I would be too, but i hope your not confusing the debate of Drogs owning or not owning their ground (how many posts was there on it?) with me wishing Drogs well in court/examinership/licensing/etc. .... especially since what our club has gone through recently. Dont even try and presume that i wouldn't wish them well.

    Fair enough. Putting it in a thread about football clubs kind of implies that the SMEs you were talking about were football clubs.

    I don't think any business in the country is struggling to meet thriving demand either, mind.

    I know, i should have read over it before posting, i'll always doing it though

    I would have thought so as well but we're wrong apparently. A few businesses that need to expand with demand cant because the cant secure funds from banks or government.

    I agree, because the government and the public have, historically, every right to pour nothing but bottomless scorn on the LoI. How about LoI clubs deciding to run themselves efficiently and then looking for financial support in order to progress once they have realistic and attainable development plans? Surely that's not too much to ask?
    It's at least a more dignified form of begging.

    Untrue to say that no one complained about Monaghans pitch in the past, Gareth Cronin certainly did last season. Back on topic though Oriel would be the obvious place for DUFC to rent, how their fans would take to playing in a "bouncy castle" would be interesting. Would Morton Stadium not be more accessible to DUFC? Possibly closer as well than Oriel.

    If Drogs get to play premier division football in that kip next season & with the same board of directors we might as well put Borat in charge of FAI licencing
