I'm surprised he has agreed to do this. Why would he? He is going to go into a room where everyone present looks on him with contempt. What will he get out of it? Is it just sheer arrogance?

Just looking at the first season you were taking this data from, 1919-20 was I think our first season in the football league. We should therefore celebrate our centenary as a football league club in three years time. If things carry on the way they are, will we still be a football league club in...

Sisu go, hope returns, a bit of success, fans come back.

I never knew we had had a game against Bray.

A great story. I can see you are rightly very proud of your dad. My dad was a labourer on the Poulaphouca dam in Blessinton. When the project finished in 1939 he moved with the construction company to England, no work in Ireland. My mum moved over soon after and they were married over here. He...

Wimbledon fans would disagree.

I would be surprised if he was sacked as that would surely cost money to pay him off. It is not as if changing the manager now will save us unless a miracle happens. Realistically 12 points from safety now. I haven't been impressed with Slade and wouldn't want to see this type of football next...

Mine are from West Wicklow but I know Bray quite well and have walked up Bray Head and been along the sea front there a few times. We sort of adopted Bray Wanderers as our team in Ireland as they were the only League of Ireland club from Wicklow. Another ambition would be to see them play at...

I think you would need to ask Portsmouth fans if they are happy with their current situation or not. I think most would say that they are. At the moment we are so far away from competing above the third division that it doesn't make much difference where the ceiling is. I think the crucial...

Fair enough, I would agree with all of that. Hopefully our day will come again! I was only in Cork City once, a long time ago, early 70s. i remember it as a nice city, huge square in the centre of the town. Very colourful houses. I would like to visit again once I have fully retired. I would...

Don't they have a wealthy owner who cares about his club?

Hasn't Joy already threatened to liquidate the club? I think there is a danger that CCFC will cease to exist if it suits Sisu's agenda. The question then is what do we do. Accept that our club is dead and give up on football? I would support a Phoenix AFC Coventry City provided they played or...

One of the things that the Portsmouth guy said was to expect the fact that you will never have 100% agreement . You will never carry everyone with you and that there will always be dissenting voices.

But building all of the time. Foundations are being laid for them to move forward. 16 k average gates 12k season ticket holders. Buying land around Fratton Park for training facilities. A far better model than the one now inflicted upon us. What is the translation of your Gaelic tag by the way...

The Trust meeting showed how fan ownership can work. It also doesn't mean being fan owned forever. It could be an interim move once Sisu have gone.

If Portsmouth can do it, can't we?

Don't disagree about the break even idea. Investing in football is really another term for donating. However their form of break even is simply cost cutting. They do absolutely nothing to increase turnover and so increase the break even figure. Portsmouth operate on a break even system that is...
