So what’s the difference between people from Bray and people from Sligo or Dundalk? Why do people from these towns get out and support their local club and people from Bray don’t? On average I reckon the amount of people who are from Bray or the areas close by for each home game going to our games would be less than 700, the rest would be made up of away fans. Bray has a population of about 40,000, the rest of Wicklow must be 100,000? Then the likes of Shankill, Dun Laoghaire etc must be about 250,000? Gives a huge potential fan base of people who support a football team, but as with most people in this country they are only interested in the glamour of the game and world stars, that’s just not Bray, its all over the country.

Even though Bray might have a substantial urban population how much of that is from the fact that it is a satellite town for Dublin?
One of the downsides of being so close to Dublin.
As with us we dont have that problem, we are the largest urban area in the northwest without any competition really.
Also it must not be ignored that in Sligo Town all that is really going for it on a National Scale is our football team, the GAA team is only really followed by people from the county and tbh there is very little else people from the town have to be proud of bar our football team that represnts us on a national scale.
TBH I havent the foogiest notion of how to replicate the local following for say like a club like Bray when you have Dublin on your door step.
I think the root of it lies not in the club but on the urban consciousness of Bray itself and if there is one so to speak of it is best for the club to somehow attach itself to it.

Most of you do know that our gates are going to be down by nearly half or not just over half next season don't you. How on earth do you think we can afford to resign players on Premier Division wages ? Players who are being signed by other 1st division clubs can afford to offer a hell of a lot more than we can. As it stands we simply do not have the money to be able to offer contracts to our best players from last season

We have Shields, Massey, Webster, Kelly and O'Neill signed form last years squad. it's a decent start as they are all good young players with good experience. Most Premier teams don't even have 4 players signed yet ! 95% of players were without a club come the end of the season, so we are not the only club in this situation.

i'll say it again, we cannot afford to have players like McCabe, Coughlan or Mulcahy at the club when we are in the first division. We simply do not have the home support to be able to offer Premier Division wages while in the first division.

I completely agree with Roo, its time the people of Bray decied if they want a football club at all. There is a catchment area of about 100,000 and the club dont even get 1% of that. This says more about the people of Bray than it does about those who run the club. The club just cant afford Premier Division wages.

Does anyone have an up to date squad list yet for this season?

Check out www,braywanderers.ie it pretty accurate

[Bray-Z]

Tresson and Daire Doyle confirmed on the Bray website as signed for this season.

[Grasshopper 99]

I wonder now will we see more players sign as now bray are in the Prem we need 3 teams, senior, B and u20s, still plenty of players out there to sign and will do a could job, but money wise can we afford it? Is the budget big enough? Will they increase it now were staying up? Lot of work to be done behind the scenes in the next 2 weeks now and best of luck to the club in doing it.
