I cant see Cork getting out of this now. Every loi club is struggling even with huge cutbacks crowds are down everywhere with the exception of Rovers yet Cork and Bohs still spend crazy money that they dont have.

Our attendances are on average 1,146 better for the first 9 home games this season than for the last 9 home games last season.

honestly hope city dont go to the wall. well not before Rovers go there in a few weeks anyway.
I wanted to see the new ground improvements before its goes tits up.
i'm sure its being asked before but are FORAS lined up to take over from this "charlatan"* coughlan.
it would appear the only way to operate.The revenue would look kinder on a group of people who have a vested interest in preservation of the club as opposed to exploitation/vain egomania by an individual.
but i could be wrong so best of luck anyways.

What are they compared to the frst 9 gmes of last season?

Comparing them to end of seaason kickabouts isn't really a true refelction

Its not that they are in financial trouble its just that the sponsors are not paying up, so we are looking for a new sponsor. Meteor and Derry News havent paid up yet for the year ahead

There have only been 6 home games so far this season

You can prove anything with stats. 75% of people know that, Kent.

But the other 25% are 3 times as certain - which makes it 50-50 right?

We are in financial trouble. Not to the same extent as some other clubs, but we aren't secure. By any stretch of the imagination.

Everyone is and any supporters who thinks everything is hunky dory in their own club are living in cloud cuckoo land

**pineapple stu** · 27/05/2009, 12:08 PM

Clearly, there's just about making ends meet and there's financial trouble. No-one's rolling in cash; doesn't mean there's cash flow problems.

Rubbish. There are several clubs who are living within their means and playing by the rules.

He didn't say that wasn't the case. he said all clubs are struggling for cash. Which they are

Why would you want to offend Drogheda fans by putting "Hunky Dory" and "Cloud Cuckoo land" in the same sentence?

Derry City look like they have major cash flow problems especially with losing the two sponsors.

Renewing next seasons season tickets this season & competitions to get your name on their shirt. Looks like big problems in the North West

**pineapple stu** · 03/06/2009, 2:58 PM

But...but...everything's grand in Derry? They all told me so when I pointed out the problems six months ago?

**Mr A** · 03/06/2009, 3:24 PM

I think the majority of the clubs in the premier are struggling financially to one extent or another.

Bohs- in trouble with 65% rule, ground deal looks to be unravelling, plan to increase revenue lacks credibility
Derry- have lost major sponsors, selling next year's season tickets early
Galway- struggled last year and while spending was cut the crowds have been poor this year.
Cork- well documented issues with revenue etc, etc.
Sligo- things likely to be very tight at best, struggled last year and FAI were very sceptical about their budgeting.
Dundalk- have already talked about needing to increase income.
