Fair enough but because of the events of ten years ago and the near demise of the club, there is still no appetite for spending more than we can earn. With no sugar daddy, investment company or €5 million soft loan we can only rely on what we can raise from members fees, fundraising, gate receipts and sponsorship. That puts us at the lower end of signing power and if it wasn`t for Long and Crolly doing such an excellent job, we would be struggling with relegation every year. If, and its a big if, Dublin City Council get their act together and build a new stadium, then the ambition will be for much bigger crowds to be challenging for honours every year.
Between now and then, we will aim to punch above our weight, consolidate the links with communities across Dublin City and Fingal, continue to develop young players and to recruit returning young players from the English meat grinder.
