Cork City denied a licence; club to be wound up; FORAS to enter First Division

Strange, since everyone else is being told that it's independent licencing committee who award the licence and not the FAI?

I'd imagine what Roddy has been told, if there's any truth in what he says, is that should the licencing committee award Cork City a licence then it will be a premier licence, in that the FAI will not impose any sanctions that might demote the club?

Would be wary of taking aything Roddy says at face value. Would be shocking (if not surprising) if FAI were in a position to tell him, or indeed any club, in such definite terms the outcome of an "independent" process unless Cork have already had their face to face with the FAI ?

Wouldn't really be a shock, it's much like what they've done with the new Derry City.

Just a blue screen with the header at the top of the page being "n/a" - seem to remember it being the same when it first disappeared!

Statement Regarding Club Website
Cork City Football Club regrets to advise that our website is currently unavailable. This is as a result of correspondence sent to the club’s webmaster requesting his VAT number and inviting him to tender for the 2010 season. This correspondence is consistent with that sent to all service providers to the football club, and underlines our efforts to reduce costs and increase efficiencies for the coming season.

We would like to thank our former webmaster for his contribution to the club over the years, however in the interests of transparency such arrangements as may have existed in the past can no longer do so into the future.

The club hopes to launch a new official website shortly.

Looks like they're trying to avoid an old bill. I wonder if this means a new re-constituted CCFC in the league?

**luka** · 13/01/2010, 6:45 PM

Bill was paid I believe after the last time it was down

Classic stuff! Trying to make out like the webmaster is the unprofessional one rather than CCFC. Is there no low they won't stoop to?

Disgraceful petty statement, because someone had the temerity to ask for money owed?
They've really shot themselves in the foot this time with their petty, knee jerk reaction.
No website, which they need for licencing. I wouldn't mind but it's an award winning website, the webmaster won young designer of the year at the golden spiders this year.
No official email addresses, great for the commercial manager trying to contact and chase sponsors.

I can't wait to see the new website!

**Doomofman** · 13/01/2010, 7:04 PM

It's not gonna be the same on here when this saga ends...

I hear that the inhabitants of the Rushbrook bunker realise they've made a major **** up here and are running around trying to retrive the situation.

To little to late....

Apparently Tommy has had to call in Daddy to try to sort it out.
