The PressboxDundalk podcast well worth a listen today to get an idea of the story at Dundalk ,James Rogers seems to be pretty sure that alot of local businesses are going to get burned from this…..
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Bohs are lucky to have the bars on top of that. I know Dan McDonnell mentioned it on LOI Central a few weeks back after a particularly poor showing from Bohs the bars were still hopping. I believe it was after the last game against Dundalk. Whoever it was revenue from stuff like that is huge for any clubOriginally Posted by nigel-harps1954
In 2022, Bohs turned over €4m. €1.05m was gates and memberships, €1.5m in merchandise, the rest in sponsorship, bar sales, match programmers, transfers etc.
We spent roughly €4m too. Running women's teams, youth teams etc ion top of mens senior team is an expensive business

American investor interested in Dundalk,was behind Flippo getting the job a few years ago and still works with him,interested in multi club European operation with a club in Switzerland already acquired……

And begin the cycle all over again? I know Dundalk are desperate, but this surely can't be the option? Questions over the debt remain too. Whatever about local creditors, owing money to Revenue is the big one.
Someone posted an article on SM where one of the clubs this guy owns, signed his son who has no professional experience and only played at a college level.
If nobody is willing to buy the club and clear down the debt, then what options are open to the club/new owners?
Anyone that's part of a multi club model can't be evil.
Is there anything to be said for having another Mass?
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
As in another mass spending spree? Think that is well underway.
Our combined member/ST base is around the 3,000 mark. The majority of this is members, which is €400 rather than €250 which is season ticket price and we've just a few hundred of those.
We sell a very limited amount of concession tickets, and for games against Rovers/Pats/Shels/Dundalk/Derry ("Category A" games) our adult price is €20 which is the bulk of public sale tickets. So average public ticket price much higher than €11 too.
In 2022 our combined membership/ST/ticket sales was a little over €1m with an average attendance of 3,209.

Dundalk wages now paid

I would have thought that Bohs had a lot more than a few hundred season ticket holders
Most nowadays opt for membership or convert from ST to membership where possible - it's essentially part ownership of the club with your season ticket included so you could more or less say we have 3,000+ season tickets holders. All members have access to the Jodi and priority over STs for away tickets. I think the only actual season tickets we can sell now are for the uncovered Des Kelly stand.
Ah right, that's where I got confused. Great numbers, the new Dalymount will need an extension before long.
By whom?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Finn Harps considering looking for outside investment apparently.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Wrong thread I know but I wonder how the fundraising is going for the stadium. Maybe the hope is that investment would expedite the process. In a weird way, Harps would be a more attractive proposition to invest in presently than Dundalk.
More info here - am I right in thinking it's just Bohs, Cobh, Harps and Sligo who follow the supporters trust model now?
