They'll still be starting with a heavy points deduction

Must be a Gardai or health and safety decision if it's been 500 last few times. 400 terrace and 100 stand
They will not get anymore than them 2 sections allows anyway as their is nowhere to segregate fans only over there.
If I was Rovers fan I'd just buy a home ticket for the stand and sit beside where the away section in stand is. Plenty of Dundalk fans done the same the night we won the league in Tallaght
Yeah it’s difficult enough as it is to segregate current and former owners in that main stand let alone home fans and away fans

There's a few empty seats going in that regard + cronies in solidarity.
Temple talks well and also always good to not have the hosts talking over every point during the interview.
The meeting of the new DFC trust on Friday night will be very interesting to say the least .

The latter should be the priority. I'm not sure who's owed what by Dundalk but I can't imagine there'll be too much goodwill from any small businesses who've been screwed over. Seeing money being spent on an unnecessarily expensive playing squad won't be too popular.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Mike Treacy of Peak 6 has thrown his 2 cents into the soap opera

The €1.7m number being floated is outrageous and intellectually dishonest. €850k ex debt and cost to run club until end of 2021 more accurate. SS reduced costs by 20% the following season and put in cash for SCP. They also didn’t hand over a club with €1.5m in debt as of Dec 1st last year

I'm sure Mike knows people in Peak 6 still and is close to them, but he didn't work for Peak 6 and doesn't since the day he left Dundalk
Ironically the day he left was the day we started to go downhill
How exactly would be knows how much Peak 6 left? Id say he's trying to cover for his mates the Connollys
More conjecture? Go on Battle of the Boardroom, spill!?
More mates and agendas? Shocker! Go on Battle of the Boardroom? Spill dfc10....
I wonder if 850k excluding debt and cost to run club until the end of 2021 might be circa 1.7m? Either way the accounts will show and can be spun or out lies!
I suppose "how we got here" has some merit, or a minimum we wont do that again, but the new reality is how do we deal with todays problems. First step is to stop the bleeding, and that may means any player out of contract is gone next week, and anyone under contract is available next week. Permanent staff will be much trickiers, although how many Dundlak would have I imagine is small.
Then the hard graft of the legacy debts. In the short term , next season, thats about not adding to those, so running a first div club at a profit. Could they turn over 500k from gates and sponsorship, advertising? I reckon Dundalk could and be competitive in first.
Not suggesting anything untoward but looks like Dundalk are stepping away from online/card purchases for today's game.
Don't understand no programme as it's a good money spinner regardless of what people say.
- Dundalk's bar is definitely cash only.
- Match tickets not available online, seems to be at the ground (and presumably cash) only.
- No match programme printed.
The bar has always been cash only
You can usually pay with card in the office and they give u a receipt to get a ticket at the ticket hut
I’d say not selling tickets online is stop Rovers fans buying for the home end ….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
A terrible time to be relegated too with the higher UEFA payments for Premier clubs next season
Seems like an odd reason to completely shut up shop for online sales.

Is there any particular good time to be relegated? Look it is what it is, we re-started winnings leagues when euro monies went from 300k or so to almost 1m if you won a game, spent it all on retaining leagues, and almost nothing to show for it, all our fault.
#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).
Bar always cash only in last few years, tickets are always online but rovers fans were buying home end, programme only stopped recently as many other clubs have too
