Hi From Drogheda in Ireland

[Kerimcan Yıldırım]

Hi Folks

Well last Friday night saw the 2010 League of Ireland come to a close with Shamrock Rovers lifting the trophy, for the 16th time.

Sadly the Drogs faith was confirmed a fortnight ago when we lost 2:0 to Rovers when we need to win our last two games. As a result we have been relegated to the First division for next season.

So next season is going to be a big challenge for the club and supporters, in all aspects.

One huge disadvantage of playing in the First Division is the huge spread of the teams across the length and breadth of the country, so the logistics of travelling for the club are massively increased, especially when all the channels generating revenues are greatly reduced.

So trying to put together a half decent team is a monumental task. Our local rivals Dundalk, who are one of the most successful clubs in the league, spent 7 seasons in the 1st division before getting promoted 2 seasons ago. So it is not an easy ride to get back into the Premier League.

On the plus side, I see that you guys had another win over the weekend, 2:1 away to Konyaspor, and are now are only 1 point behind Bursaspor.

Keep it up folks, you certainly are flying the Claret and Blue Flag

high.....long may it last.

Take Care

And as always, C’mon the Claret & Blue

Sorry to hear about your relegation Drogster.

Let's hope that you get back to the top flight the year after.

A game with Trabzonspor would certainly have helped solve some
of your financial troubles but we have a general assembly approaching
and the club officials are busy contemplating their own immediate future.
So maybe some time next year!

Good luck until then!

we hope you will return to the Premier League as soon as possible. Promoting in the first season is difficul but believing Claret and Blue is the half of achieving and return to Premier League. At the end of the 11th day of the season we are in the first position in Turkish Super League. And on Saturday we will play with Bursaspor who is in the second position in oue league. If we will win, I thin we will be in the first position at the end of the first season.

Welcome aboard brother team Drogheda

[Barış Burak]

when will we have friendly match?

[talibim]

Drogheda United FC is delighted to have learned this morning that it has been granted a Premier Division licence for the 2011 season.

The club had made a strong case for its inclusion in the top-flight after last week receiving official notification that it was next in line to fill the vacancy left by Sporting Fingal.
With the potential for increased sponsorship, commercial interest and gate income that life in the premier division affords, and following a strong start to its share issue scheme which in under a month has yielded over €80K, those now running the club look forward to building a stable and successful future.
“Taking our place in this season’s premier division gives us a terrific opportunity to move on from the turbulent times of the past, assuming our share scheme maintains momentum up to the start of the season” said Jim Agnew, club Director. “We’ve worked hard over the last few months on plans to make the club self-sustaining and to place ownership in the hands of the supporters and our community. We may not be winning the league or anything like that for a while but by the beginning of the season we believe we can have a club that is structured, vibrant and, most importantly, financially stable. Hopefully the award of this licence will encourage more people to become involved in our project and will boost membership of our Claret & Blue Club.”
Season tickets for this season’s campaign are on-sale immediately on www.droghedaunited.ie or from the Drogheda United club house from next weekend.

Hi All

Its been a while.

As posted up, as a result of Sporting Fingal going bang, during the off season, the Drogs have been reinstated in the Premier League for the 2011 Season....YES!!!

Another twist in the story was that 1 week before the season kicked off our manager Bobby Brown was sacked in the Saturday morning with our new manager Mick Cooke signed on the Sunday morning.

Not great preparation for the new season. Mick had only 2 training sessions with Bobby’s team, who himself had 2 weeks to upgrade the squad for the Premier.

The league started last Friday, with the Drogs home to UCD. It was a cagey start by both teams with the Drogs the better of the 1st half. The second half was much the same but midway the pace of the game started to show on the Drogs players. UCD scored with 10mins to ago.

A lot of positive could be taken from the game, and we probably deserved a point, but it wasn’t to be.

Next up tonight is Bohs away. Bohs have themselves had a rough off season and wouldn’t be the same force they were for the last couple of seasons. It is very wet over here and it could make it interesting, slippy surface, wet ball could lead to a few mistakes......for both sides!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed we can get something from the game. C’mon the Drogs.

I see that Trabonspor are keeping up the pressure and flying high with some very good result of late. Joint top with Fenerbahçe. I have being keeping an eye on your progress.

Best of luck against Kasımpaşa tomorrow.

C’mon The Claret & Blue

hi martin,
the first point this year! but from 0:2 to 2:2 is very good!
i hope, we have not problems this year in the league, like last year!!!
good luck for our two teams...

[ceserdar]

We've got the first place in the league after Fenerbahçe drew 0 - 0 with Bursaspor. We hope we'll hold the the first place until the league ends.
