The remainder where not just families of the kids you mentioned and there was plenty of people with jerseys (me included). Neither the council or a wealthy builder funds us, fact. I love your prediction by the way. We will be gone or go amateur in 2 years. At least it seems we must be doing better now considering when we started we where told we would be gone in a year. Now its 2yrs and we may only go back to amateur. Things are looking up

    Take the trolling elsewhere buddy. Your post is nothing we hav nt heard before.
    sorry youre right, it was the players families making up the crowd

    What is being implied by our friend here is we have a sugar daddy which is not the case. Gannon himself has put no money directly into the club he has however provided facilities for the club like our offices.

    Our club is extremely active when it comes to getting sponsorship from many areas of the fingal community. If you would like to see just how active, check out the commercial section on our official website.

    Our money comes from plenty of different areas and these are not a sugar daddy or a council and why people keep saying this is now beyond me. Some no matter how many times its explained to them refuse to except the truth and would rather circulate misinformation about our club because it suits there own petty feelings towards us. Not saying thats you Battery by the way. The question was a fair one.

    He is just taking on board what was said in a previous post that Keelings will provide the budget for the next couple of years.

    What I was saying was they will provide sponsorship to cover wages. I didnt say they will provide the entire budget. I used keelings because they where our main sponsor (i wasnt going to list them all). Whats that got to do with talkiing about a sugar daddy.
