To be fair, clear statement by the board on that one.

Much better than posting on a message board.

I'd say Derry fans must be kind of sick of Celtic/Celtic XI at this stage. What are the ticket prices like?

if they dont want the match i'm sure wed love it we here in longford have a proud tradition of barstoolers our celtic supporters club would get a big gate!

On a serious note i am getting a little woried for derry they could really do with the locals rallying around the club and filling the stadium for every home game for the rest of the season

Where does the 3 weeks of deferred wages come from at the end of the season when there are no gates?

Have they not already sold a large chunk of their season tickets for next season?

**MariborKev** · 06/10/2009, 3:27 PM

Yes,

SB is correct.

I know we've sold some, but a large chunk of next year's season tickets ?

How many advance ST's did we sell ?

(Problem is, we don't know how many we'll sell for next year, so have no idea of how big a chunk the advance sales are

)

**MariborKev** · 06/10/2009, 5:25 PM

Steve, as you say it is guesswork. However I would reckon between 20-25%

How can a club that can't pay wages, charter a flight to Cork tonight?

**MariborKev** · 06/10/2009, 8:00 PM

CH,

Scheduled flight from Belfast.

So the club paid for a bus to Belfast as well as a chartered flight to Cork?

**MariborKev** · 06/10/2009, 8:08 PM

SH,

It is an Aer Aran flight.

Normally they will bus it to the airport, players will fly down, bus will drive down with the gear. Players stay over, play the game, get on the bus and drive home.

Do they hire call girls for the lads to unwind after the games too?

I'm not sure how the diametrically opposed words 'scheduled' and 'chartered' managed to morph into one for you there SH......

It's a Donegal thing Steve.

Similiar to the words "roundabout" and "traffic light" which induce the same reaction in drivers from the county, complete panic.

We lost, so the flight made no difference. Interestingly we'd a 100% record from when we stopped doing overnights, we stayed over in Cork and we lost.
