More people voted no than yes!?

Thankfully League titles aren't awarded based on the results of an Internet poll.

I for one won't be voting on this poll.

Who knows if we'll win the league next season. It depends what new players we'll sign in the off season, it depends if our current players continue to perform well, it depends what players Shels and Bohs sign in the off season, it depends whether or not our players and management and fans keep a positive frame of mind, it depends on whether or not we're unlucky with injuries and suspensions, it depends on whether the eircom league make another mess of our fixtures and if we have to play three games in a week but a month later not play any games for 3 weeks! All of those things and plenty more need to go our way, it's impossible to just say yes we will or no won't win the league. We all hope we will and I believe Dolan can deliver but whether that is next season or 2 or 3 years down the line who knows. The three year plan states it should be next season but things don't always go to plan!

I wasn't asking you to predict the future and put your house on it, just take a guess as to how you think things will pan out based on performances this year and what Dolan has done so far.

I wasn't trying to use this poll as ammo against ye, just trying to see what people REALLY think will happen. Of course City fans HOPE that they will win the league next year, that's why I didn't start a poll on that!!!

Wow, humour-that's worn him out for the week. You'd better take a lie down now Bosco!

i don t want answer to the question wether or not cork will win but there was a french man on trial a few month ago in limerick then in cork and it seems not good enough for Pat Dolan and now he scored 10 goals in 11 matches for galway.....

bye DAMO...

hi looping welcome to the site, this topic is about "will city win the league next year?", not about Dupuy. the topic a few lines down entitled "dupuy" is about dupuy. just a suggestion, read the topic from now on and you'll get along fine

have a nice day

**A face** · 31/08/2004, 11:29 PM

I voted no and think we'll win next year ... I dont think i am on my own here.

Is this poll null and void now ??

I've been living in Cork for the last 10 years, so I have a greater interest in City than most Shels fans - that's why I started the poll.

In addition to this, foot.ie is dominated by Cork fans so it was no harm in having a poll that might interest all the City fans.

Terry, it's seems too obvious.
IMO it's definitely someone pulling the p1ss

Yesterday's article by Gavin Reardon in the Echo (anything to gavin Zac? Just a thought) included some good points about the direction City is going, with the Dolan-Lennox master plan looking at long term club building rather than short-lived match results based on expensive signings of dodgy has-beens.
I am prepared to wait for the plan to produce results. And no, I do not think City will win the leage next season, but over the next three years I believe that we will close the gap in standards with Shels, and leave Bohs and Drogs trying to follow our example.
