Hi From Drogheda in Ireland

[Drogster]

Hi Folks,

Just a quick up date on the Drogs.

I am happy to confirm that the players and club have come to a settlement agreement today...another big hurdle jumped.

The next hurdle for the club is the 22nd Jan where the examiner to state his case for the club and allow the judge to determine if the club should survive.

The supporters have done tremendous work in raising funds to date, and as you can imagine serious situations lead to serious measures.

As you can understand, as football supporters, we the fans are doing as much that we can do within a short period of time, so I personally would appreciate it if anyone that would be interested in make a donation, no matter how small, as every little helps.

We don't want to lose our club, so you can understand this regretful request

Below are the bank account set up for donations, if your interested.

Supporters can now make donations to Drogheda United FC via paypal or bank transfer.

@drogster,
this is a very bad message from Drogheda, but I had already read somewhere else.I think we are too little, we can not really do anything...Your board of directors could have a look at our request and ask a little help......what can possibly bring anything?!?! I hope the best for Drogheda!!! ...and i will come this year to a match and we see us!! we give a big support for our teams...!!!

Hi All,

Just want to thank ABC (registered on the Drogs forum) for starting a new post on this forum, a Turkish translation of my post highlighting the Drogs situation. He posted the links up on the Drogs forum.

I feel bad that I had to go down this avenue a plead for help, but as I said previously, bad situations lead to drastic measures.

Fingers crossed that we can get out of this situation, and that the Drogs can fly the Claret & Blue Flag with pride once again.

Thanks again ABC.

C'mon the Claret & Blue

hi! why we not make a friendly match?? that would be cool! we both need to talk with our clubs because of this! And all money which were earned from this game, can be given to the Drogheda! I love Drogheda hope it'll be OK. We say we're together everytime but we never had a friendly game! it sucks!

the best
Trabzonspor&Drogheda United

Hi to Drogheda,
I agree with Gustavo. I think two teams can make a friendly match and the money which is earned by the game can be taken by Drogheda. I claim that our supporters in Istanbul or Germany can fill a stadium easily, which can provide a great economic contribition to you...

Best wishes for Drogheda.

I hope it'll be ok.

Hi Folks

Just an up date on the Drogs situation.

An agreement has been reached with the clubs creditors i.e. the people/companies that are owned outstanding monies, following a meeting last night.

It was essential for a deal to be made or else we would not even make it to the court on Thursday to hear the judges decision. Another important hurdle dealt with.

A group of fans organised an envelope drop/collection to every house in Drogheda over the weekend and a Table quiz is arranged for tonight including a raffle for Drogs memorabilia.

This will be the last big fundraiser before the Court hearing on Thursday.

Hopefully it will be enough to get our club out of this mess and we can start planning for the new season.......fingers crossed!!!! I'll keep you posted.

[ceserdar]

Good Luck.

[Emirhan Çorumlu]

I think that Everything will be good. God help Drogheda and Trabzonspor!

Hi All,

As I posted up previously the Drogs Examinership Case was up in front of the Judge on Thursday, which resulted in the case hearing been adjured until next Thursday.

This is yet another positive move towards the the survival of the Club.

From reading reports and talking to people in the club, there are a few issues which the Judge requires further clarification.

The first is, if the Revenue Commissioners who are owed a substantial finger will agree to the offer proposed....which is a fraction of what is owed. This is the vital factor and will decide the faith of the club...

The second is, to obtain a Premier League license for the 2009 Season, which will require upgrading works to United park, i.e. more seating and improving the current facilities, and if a provision for these works is included in the 2009 Budget. If the monies assigned for this work is deemed unrealistic then if we survive we may end up in the 1st division.

The judge also noted the efforts of the Drogheda supporters and people who raised the funds in such a short period of time, and will take this into account while making her decision.

So, the news is positive and we are moving in the right direction, but its not a done deal...just yet.

Fingers crossed.

Also, Best of luck against Fenerbahçe on Sunday...big game and hopefully the right result to the Claret & Blue........It will but a smile on my face

C'mon the Claret & Blue.

[Drogster]

Well Folks.

Today is D Day for the Drogs.

And I'm delighted to confirm that the judge in our Examinership case ruled in favour of the club and highly commended the efforts of the supporters.

YYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Now the real hard work starts!

We have to appoint a new manager and start rebuilding a team, but at least we have a team to follow for the 2009 season, which starts in 5 weeks time.


Thank God it's over !!!!!!

P.S. I read that you drew 0:0 away to Fenerbahçe on Sunday... not a bad result at all.

I see you also signed the attacking Brazilian talent of Alanzinho, hopefully he can assist the team to push on and claim the title!!!

Take Care....and...C'MON THE CLARET & BLUE

[Emre B.]

Congratulations, Drogster. We could beat Fener but forwards are really have problem.

[Drogster]
