    They're 100% fulltime. Dunno their exact budget but I would imagine its up there with the top dogs of the Premier. Would imagine only Rovers will be competing with them on the wages front next year. Obviously alot will depend on whether they're in the Premier Division and Europe.

    I know Kirby is definately in college up there too so dont know if he's fulltime, but afaik, most would be fulltime!

    Fingal are bankrolled by developer Gerry Gannon who owns huge tracts of County Fingal, awaiting rezoning and planning permission.

    As the Lep says in another thread - they are not dependent on gate money.

    Do the number of sponsors outweigh supporters?!

    that would be playing budget as most other expences are looked after by FCC. Stadium, training facilities, insurance etc UCD although not paying anything like fingal are in an equally privilaged position with all non playing expenses being taken care of by the college hense their positions in the league. shels and to a far lesser extenct waterford are the only other teams spending money on players in the first division

    We got a new investor on board this week. Some chap called Coughlan, said he will bring Fingal to the top. Anyone know him? Think his name is tom or tim or something.

    I think ours is less than a quarter of the Fingal figure mentioned earlier.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.
