well as far as i could see they were set up by the fans to help raise funds for Cork City FC, yet they didnt hand over a single cent to help teh club out,
am i the only person who sees a problem with that, irrelevent if coughlan is in charge that money was riased with the purpose of helping CCFC,
if they set up in the A League fair enough
think of it this way of someone raisied 200k for an operation that cost 400k, would you think it fair he keep the money cause its not enough??,
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
ORA, the Danny Drew situation shows that the FAI are willing and able to make interventions in these matters.
don ramo - What's the point in handing over money if the same situation is going to arise in a month? I doubt half of those who contributed would have done so if they thought they were padding a slush fund which could be wasted by the club.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
They were never asked by all accounts. When they were set up it was decided that any request for money would have to be in writing and would have to be considered by the members. Only one man knows why they were never asked.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Anyone realise if the points of previous games are made void Pats will be last with only 17 points
Yep and in relation to the FAI he's probably even less popular with them than Danny Drew was apparently.

Is it fact that FORAS are withholding funds?
Just going on what I've read on foot.ie, Foras raised funds of about 75,000, but a written request is needed to access them, which hasn't been made as far as I know. Whether they would have granted the money to CCFC before now is a question I don't know the answer to, but they would be absolutely crazy to hand over even a penny of it at the moment.
I'd say that money would be (will be) best spent facilitating the set-up of a new Cork club.
If Cork are saved...will they be docked points?
Drogs Who?!?

Ha thats funny Don! You never told the fans where to go, after being lied to and and clearly made fools of, the fans decided to **** off themselves and by the looks of it won't be coming back soon. At least FORAS got up and tried to do something unlike the few thankless fans that tried to help Cobh.
the fai should just step in and kick cork out of the league.
they done enough gowling and knew they were in the wrong.
no sympathy here.
