As a newish poster here who featured in two of them quoted posts I'm fairly disappointed with how things turned out really the jersey. I still feel it was a brave angle for any club to go down and expect when you are told all bases are covered , that they are covered. That wasn't the case here and humble pie tastes as bad as it sounds so we take the stick and move on.
The board behind this have worked wonders to finish mid table and turn a profit two seasons in a row.
I told you so and hindsight all well and good but to compare these lads to the boards of previous times is ridiculous. Rovers are totally different from the crowd that spent s million on grant money on players . Cork different to the Arkaga time and Shels different to the Ollie Byrne mess .
Hopefully a lesson has been learned and I'm sure some info re the situation will come out of the meeting taking place tonight. ( That was always planned for tonight)

. Interesting story around that, we were offered a serious sponsorship deal with a certain well known gambling company but only on the provision we changed our strip to green.Even though the club was in dire financial difficulties this was considered a step too far and the offer declined.The compromise was the 'jade' shirt we had (with no white) and the players were all given green boots (some wore them some didn't). Fair to say the 'jade' number did not quite generate the demand of the current away shirt
