Thanks to Dundalk FC
Where ca
n Dundalk FC go from here? …What a season it’s been.Every seco
nd Friday I was entertained by the best football ever seen (so far) in Oriel Park.
Added on to this was the fabulous run in Europe from Belarus to Amsterdam then on to Warsaw and Israel. The achievements of this great club is amazing to behold and such a thrill for the people of Dundalk. A huge thanks to all the players for all the great nights you’ve given us.
Where has it all come from?..Well it begins with a great Manager. Lets all hope he stays around for a long time, but just as important in my opinion is the attention to detail by all the backroom staff and also their love and commitment to the club , to the supporters and to the youth of the town.
The owners of the club have the interest and future progress of Dundalk FC at heart. They have resolved, with the help of others, the long standing issue of the lease to Oriel Park and deserve our heartfelt thanks. But where do we go from here ?
A new season will bring new challenges. I remember the glory days of the 70’s and 80’s..and the barren years since.. Offers are bound to come in for our best players and we should wish them well, but faraway hills are green and hopefully it will take a tremendous offer ( to include European football and playing in a first team) to entice them away. Hopefully Richie Towell is a lesson learned.
Finally, let’s hope that the League of Ireland is structured and financed to cope with the future when teams like Dundalk FC and Cork City FC and Derry City FC continue to make their mark in Europe and that finally in League of Ireland we can have a league that we can be proud of. “Come on the Town !!”
