Dear members and fellow supporters,
As a club, we have overcome great hurdles over the past decade. As we all know, the effect of the property crash and economic downturn came close to putting us out of business.
After a number of tough seasons where members and supporters dug deep on numerous occasions to keep the show on the road, we collectively saved our club, reduced our multi-million euro debt to a manageable amount and have secured Dalymount Park as our home for future generations.
Thanks to the endeavours of our members and a small but dedicated body of volunteers, we have every reason to be optimistic about our long-term future.
However, the decision to reduce the Premier Division from 12 teams to 10 next season presents everyone in the division with a fresh challenge.
Despite the constraints of prudence, Keith Long and his team have continued to punch above their weight over the past two-and-a-half seasons.
To give Keith the best possible chance at continuing that, we, as a group of members and supporters, are establishing a fans’ fund to supplement the playing budget.
