That was not the point I raised. I was refering to those members on here and others asking questionsabout how the club is being funded. If there is nothing to hide there is nothing to fear.

I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
And the award for 'most defensive post of the year' goes to....Its still a non story. Its the same old anti-Sporting Fingal heads scrapping the barrel to have a pop and trying to make something out of nothing .
Its good to see the begrudgery still in play with some fans of the other clubs.
At this rate, it looks like Sporting Fingal will dominate the boards next season as you would rather talk about us than talk about your own little clubs. Nothing much to talk about at home so you think of something trivial or something un-original to post .
Lads/Ladies, at least wait until a proper juicey story pops up and the fai gets involved before exaggerating what was said in a council meeting .
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Hell - you can even have the prize for 2010 as well.
You forgot to mention the reverse vampires!
Classic!
Good evening!
Jessus lads will yous chill the beans a little. He is defending the club thats all.
Like a pack of dogs sometimes in here.

Mods:
Maybe this could be a separate thread - but just developing the Franchise topic on slightly - feel free to move if necessary?
Where are Franchise going to play next season in the Prem Div.
The first and only two years in their existence - Fingal Co Co have situated them in Morton. It's nowhere close to qualifying for a Prem Div licence.
They're going to have to rent another existing Dublin LoI Prem Div Licenced ground with Tolka, Dalyer & Inchicore the obvious candidates.
Given that the majority of their home support in Morton was made up of freebies bused in from areas like Swords, will they even maintain the same numbers if they continue to issue free tickets and transport to grounds not in County Fingal?
Never mind can Fingal Co Co, Gerry Gannon et al, afford to susidise it?
They brought only 70 odd paying supporters to an away game in Tolka last season - hardly encouraging?

No they won't have to move. Does United Park fit Premier standards? No.
The council are moving them to a purpose built facility in Lusk soon.
So they're going to apply for a derogation based on their plans to move to a custom built stadium in the near future. In that case I'm no longer concerned for them, that's foolproof, nothing could go wrong!

And dogs chase foxes, don't they.....?
In that case over half the country would be locked up....
How soon? Has there actually been any definite move on this yet, because all I've heard are rumours
Lob in a meaningless planning application that has no chance of success, the FAI are happy.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Personally, I'm struggling to believe Gerry Gannon's motives are entirely altruistic and that he'd be prepared to put in hundreds of thousands a year and convince Anglo to also put in a signficiant amount for no apparent reward. It just seems odd to me. He'd never shown any great love for football before.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
I'm pretty sure he's never put in the colour of what he has put into Sporting Fingal though I stand to be corrected. Kelleher was or is a Pats fan and Wallace had been running an underage setup for years and in fact seems to value that more than the success of the LOI team. I guess I'm just cynical about the levels of money being put in, the council involvement and that of Anglo and a favoured property developer. The levels of money just seem unnecessarily high from all parties. At the end of the day it's just a personal opinion.

Tolka Park is not council owned in the sense you infer. The ground or site is leased out from DCC, but effectively the owner of the long-term lease (99 years) owns the site and the structures on it.
I'm not sure you understand how leasehold works?

What are you on about? You are either i'll informed or making it up.
He's on about the fact you have no fans. I really hope you're in Tolka next year, we get the rent and you get no paying customers. Perfect really.
In terms of an asset Shels lease is/was a lot more valuable than DCC's freehold in fairness. Well, depending on how the long the lease is, but in general anything with over 70 years left on it is considered good title and is much more saleable than the freehold ownership.
