You got 3k - you are lucky!

Wait, Setanta give the money to the FAI to distribute to all the clubs? Even the Northern ones?

"Excellent, Mr. Dolan, now you're sure we can trust you to pass these pies on to their rightful owners?"

Yeah thought that myself. Decided not to think about it any further. Brain got sore with the logic.

Its pretty much an FAi run competition now (and has been for a while)

Setanta are fairly fooked as a company from what someone who worked for them told me. They've let a lot of staff go and are struggling to operate a decent schedule of programmes. Can't see the competition going on much longer.

My understanding was that a stance was taken before the comp started by the Northern clubs before they would sign up again. Even then two clubs didn't receive theirs.

Jack Grundie and Craig Stanfield of the IFA are part of the Setanta Sports Cup Committee. Do you know if you guys have been in touch with them about clarification on the payouts.

I couldn't help but chuckle when reading the article where Michael Hayes of the FAI/Setanta Committee is quoted as saying he would neither confirm nor deny if Setanta had paid out the sponsorship cash. This probable means that (a) they have not received the cash in full but dont want to embaress Setanta while there is still a prospect of getting paid or (b) that the cash is resting in the bank while they figure out how to screw everyone involved.

I believe so and I understand they are equally in the dark, though the article may have provided a chink of light today...
