A player’s spokesman stated after the meeting, “We are 100% behind the Management Committee and the FAI rescue proposal. It is the only way forward to keep League of Ireland football at St. Colman’s Park. Playing football is what we are about, and we are all committed to playing for Cobh Ramblers. We further believe that through the clubs efforts to secure this FAI deal, our team and club will come back stronger in the next season. We as players will do all in our power to ensure our club is granted a League of Ireland licence from the FAI for the coming season.”

The members of Cobh Ramblers Club will have an opportunity to vote on the FAI rescue proposal at an Emergency General Meeting at the club on Sunday 11th January.
The Management Committee and Players are urging all club members to attend the EGM and to vote to keep League of Ireland Football at St Colman’s Park.

sort of, this is the vote that should have been taken first day,

do you wanna do this or do you wanna do that,

some people didnt seem to understand what was being asked 42 of 120 people said they didnt want financial controls, theres deffinately a misunderstanding if a third of members dont want financial controls implemented in the club,

I understand this is a touchy supbect for you young man but my point im trying to get across is that its a players statement so players should have put their names to it. By you saying that your shocked?? that a player hasnt put his name to it and thats exactly my point. The reason that there is no name on it is that if the deal goes south, then his name doesnt wanna go with it.

I too hope Cobh survive, i love our trips down their and our collapses in the last ten mins or so. But like throwing good money after bad at Hoey in Drogs, why save the clown? Why not get your ceo to absolve the dept he got the club into and not the club absolving it??
