Why don't Cork let fans in to the match for free!!!
Cork City Football Club have announced that the much-anticipated friendly match against Celtic Football Club will take place on Wednesday, September 9th at Turner’s Cross.
The game will kick off at 7.45pm, and Peter Lawwell, Chief Executive Officer of Celtic Football Club, told CorkCityFC.ie that the Hoops are looking forward to their visit to Leeside: "We are very pleased to be visiting Cork, and we hope that the friendly match will assist Cork City in raising funds to secure the future of the club. Celtic Football Club has always had great support from Cork, and we sincerely hope that this match goes some way to aiding such a fantastic community asset continue their existence.”
"While a number of the squad will be on international duty and unable to take part in the match we will be sending as strong a squad as possible and will do all we can to make the match an occasion to remember."
Ticket details for the game will be announced shortly."
Hope a big crowd goes.I'm going th head anyway.We cannot lose a great club like CCFC and a Stadium like Turners Cross.Its a great opportunity to see futire Celtic Stars and help CCFC.

We may as well be, thousands of people who were in Turner's Cross on the night we won the League against Derry in 2005 haven't been able to find it since.

Thats nothing on the same night we playing Deportivo in Lansdowne, roughly 22,000 thousand people went missing. There was talk of maybe they went back to Spain with the Deportivo team or of a mass alien abduction. It's just one of those mysterys.
They always cheat, they always lie
**** Delaney and the FAI
A lot of Cork people sound like their talking underwater.
I just sit down at the typewriter & start hittin the keys, just hittin the keys. Getting them in the right order though thats the trick, thats the trick.

now there was a city worth saving
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
Has there ever been a mention of a points deduction for Cork over all this tax issue, court appearances and not paying full wages ?
I dont think it would be fair for them to be allowed compete in Europe if they finished 3rd or 4th after everything that has gone on.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
If everything's paid up at the end of the season, they'll be in the clear. To get a licence, they''ll need a tax clearance cert, and no wages owed.
Of course, they're subject to the 65% rule to, and who knows how they're doing there?
You can't spell failure without FAI
thats nothing, were still looking for the 49.000 who turned up in landsdown road to watch us play manchester united in 1968
If they are in breach of any rules then I am sure the FAI will have to act. I am not sure they have broken any specific rules (just City supporters hearts) todate but as mentioned elsewhere they will be subject to licencing criteria and 65% rules which (if broken) could result in penalties applying.
Most of the 1 million people (approx) who were at Athlone v AC Milan went onthats nothing, were still looking for the 49.000 who turned up in landsdown road to watch us play manchester united in 1968
to become Shamrock Rovers supporting taxi drivers in Dublin!

And they're just the ones who were behind the goal for that penalty!

I think it would be fair
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.
We never worked outside the rules so we should be given our place in Europe should we finish in those places.

What part of not paying your taxes was legal exactly?
What part of not paying your taxes is covered by the FAI rules ? Many, many teams have not paid taxes and to the best of my knowledge not incurred FAI sanction. There is a difference between the law of the land and the FAI rulebook (Thank God) and I am not sure that Revenue do points deductions

Even I didn't think it'd be this quick!

What a circus CCFC, and this league in general, has become.
Rumours are that CCFC face another winding up order, this time from a 'former player'.
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
Mental stuff, I suppose banking on bigger gates is pretty silly in the first place. I mean, the good will is draining from the club by the second and it's all down to one man at the end of the day.
Only option is for foras to apply to A League now for next season. Sad situation.
