Ways to help Cork?

[SkStu]

SkStu - I've checked out the 3 recent threads on Cork, and I have not noticed one Dundalk fan (never mind your plural "Dundalk fans") taking any joy from the impending demise of Cork City.

I have however, noticed many laughable jibes about an "obsession" with Bohemians financial mismanagement - I expect that this "persecution complex" will run for several months yet.

There will be a new Cork team in the first division next season.

Care to explain procedurally how this will happen.....?

A certain poster is like PineappleStu on crack.

That's harsh.

Everyone knows Stu's on heroin.....

[Dunny]

check out 4 or 5 other threads and you will see which Dundalk posters i am talking about.

Any chance you could link to these posts Stu?

Shouldn't Bohs fans be saving that cash for when this day comes around for themselves? And thats not even meant in a bitchy way.

dont mean to be harsh but if i was a cork fan id not go near a ticket for friday and let the club be wound up.get behind foras lads i think its the way to go start from scratch again

In some cases I think the best option is to wind up a club. This is a case and point. It was very, very telling that the FAI declined to have a spokesman on MNS. Cork have dug their own grave and historically this has always been their fashion. Any new team formed from the ashes should start from the A-League.

I am not happy with this situation. I wish Cork City could have been run correctly this year but alas it has not happened.

Is there a curse on City teams? Kilkenny City, Dublin City are gone and now it looks like Cork City will follow.

i dont agree one helping any team that caused their own problems by over spending and paying players big wages in a part time league.
we at waterford united were in the shyte a few years ago and got no help from anyone, and im sure most clubs were in the same position, But we all had to bail ourselfs out.
so cork should do same.

Listen Here!
The owners made mistakes and the clowns running the club. Each one of us is a LOI fan and should be willing to help fellow "Supporters". If one club goes we will all go. Most clubs have had there back to the walls and yes they did sort it themselfs but we are talking about a matter of hours that the club will go bust in . Frig the boards, its the fans we should stand up for. Im a LOI fan first and formost and i will be just as devistated by the demise of city as I would my own club

Fair enough then, you're not silly. You're just a bad Galway supporter

I don't think handing over vast sums of money to Tom will do the trick, most likely the necessary funds don't get raised and any money given will be merely swallowed up by the liquidator...

Very tempted to change my sig now.

They should be organising themselves and raising cash. They are in a real financial mess.

Get fans to take loans out...1000 fans at 500 euro each would make half a million...I know the current economic climate isnt so good but the real die hards will try anything to save there club..

All i can say is i hope yee pull through it because yous have great fans and by far the best ground in the league

Didn't Bohs do that already?

I'd still like to know some background about TC & the trading details of CCFC - he does come across as decent-ish & I can't see why he is the one constantly being blamed by Cork supporters for mis-managment. Seemed from the start to be a cash flow problem, which was exacerbated by falling attendences(brought on by attitudes to TC?). If the turnover estimates given to Licencing for this year were not greater than last year's T/O, then that would have been reasonable; if they had been increased that would have been unrealistic (& fault lies then with TC). Anyone know more details?

[Mr A]

The guy decided to pay out the highest wages in the league without a hope of ever raising the money to cover it. He can blame the recession all he wants- it was well under way when the contracts were handed out. That, in a nutshell, was where it all went wrong.

The man is an incompetent moron at best.
