Shels fans meeting

**Passive** · 12/07/2006, 12:50 PM

Shels fans, I'm not much on speeches but it's so gratifying to see you wallow in the mess you've created, you're screwed, thank you, goodbye.

Hi, how are you doing?

To be honest if Santry isnt available Richmond Park is probably the only option, IF of course Pats were even interested in offering the ground for use who's more likely to wangle an agreement first!?

Then again in the current climate who's more likely to pay the bill? Shels who seem to be incredibly in a similar boat to Rovers approx 12 months ago or ourselves who since being run by the fans have met every obligation & been run properly!? An interesting situation indeed!

I think we can all endorse those sentiments. The chickens have well and truly come home to roost.

Incidently, why are a load of seats ripped out of the Ballybough end?

Noticed that- it's pretty terrible looking. Hadn't been in Tolka for a while and it seems to be getting very run down. I suppose that's natural if there's no long term future there, but it's still a little depressing.

The stuff at the end is priceless. Some of them want to move into lansdowne Road

Shels are meeting Fingal Co co today to discuss the relocation. Very sad to see the demie of Tolka Park.

Sure why not Croker? It's in Drumcondra.

Ollie was rambling on about it on Sky Sports news when they were making progress in Europe one time.

Well, the price of a professional set-up is really starting to have an effect on the game here. Its hard to know what to do, its all very depressing. Tolka and Dalymount soon to be apartments. Richmond Park’s future still in the balance and a legal battle over Rovers new stadium. Shels move to Santry will only ever be temporary if it happens at all, and when the money runs out, they too will be homeless.

We have to persevere though. It's important to have a professional game, where coaches and players are rewarded for a fulltime commitment to the game.

**Dodge** · 12/07/2006, 3:22 PM

Clubs can't afford it Peadar, therefore it has to stop.

BTW Richmond's going to be alright. Our new bar opens on Friday night

You're right Peadar but I can only see a future for it once there are the facilities to attract people so it's a catch 22. I bet any money when Bohs get their new stadium they'll attract a whole new audience and probably have the biggest support around....

**wws** · 12/07/2006, 3:53 PM

this is a very important point here:

what shelbourne did over the last few years was NOT professionalism - it was bloody minded and reckless amateurism masquereding as professionalism. The only people who bought into it were swayed by surface success without asking the obvious - what the fck was underpinning it? Answer - absolutely nothing - nada - zip - zilch.

The amount of people who pointed this out ad infinitum was sizeable.

Don't insult peoples intelligence even further by claiming that this is the death knell of some "progressive" approach by shels. The emporer had no clothes, and in Ollies case its not a pretty sight.

Oh and your silence tells me there was nothing said to dispell the rumours that you're f.ucked

When did this meeting take place
