Accolade Ltd holds the lease for Tolka Park.
If you think a group of fans could get 21% of Accolade for 300K your nuts

Im sure some of your UCD buddies can explain what Shelbourne FC Ltd does but Dodge has basically hit the nail on the head.

Shels fans would never fall for it though............

KOH

Spit it out or shut up.

Id imagine you know very very little if anything about the situation so please dont compare the two until you do.

And not just by saying "yeah, we think you're doing a super job", but "here have some of our hard earning cash - go on, don't be shy, help yourself".

Believe it or not, we (400 Club) actually went down this route at the start, and boy did we learn some harsh lessons along the way.

Again your 100% wrong/confused/mixed up.
No money will be handed to the club without the members agreeing to it.

Shels fans need to take advice and not bury their head in the sand or go by the priciple of "We know better".

Its not a case of Shels fans ignoring what the Rovers fans have to say. Id be only too glad to sit down and talk about the potential pitfalls that exist.

Its the assumption they have that we are clueless and pumping money into Shelbourne FC without asking any questions.

If they were to investigate how the group intend doing business before making smart comments it would be better but as it stands they are 'preaching'.

All suggestions are welcome.
