Due to the FAI Cup replay against Bohemians on Tuesday night, the DFC Trust meeting will now take place on Wednesday 21 September at 8.30pm in the Lilywhite Lounge.
The DFC Trust are currently engaging in a series of workshops and meetings to discuss the future of Dundalk Football Club. Dundalk fans are invited to this meeting for an update on the DFC Trust’s progress and to give feedback on our proposals.
Following last Tuesday’s story in the Dundalk Democrat, the DFC Trust would like to make a number of clarifications.
The DFC Trust has not made a final proposal for a takeover of the club. At this point we are simply investigating the potential for a model of ownership that gives full or majority ownership into the hands of Dundalk FC supporters.
The DFC Trust proposal and the proposal from Ciaran Bond are not necessarily rival proposals. However, the DFC Trust has to put some contingency plan in place to ensure some system of ownership and management exists at the club considering the fact that Gerry Matthews has stated his desire to us that he wishes to step away from the ownership of the football club.
Any DFC Trust proposal is dependent on receiving the backing of Dundalk fans to become involved in the football club to take on different roles. These roles will be explained at workshop meetings and next Tuesday’s meeting in Oriel Park.
The DFC Trust will only make a final proposal for consideration after all due diligence and consultation with supporters is complete.The DFC Trust are holding a number of workshops (meetings of small groups) to discuss the proposals as well as next Tuesday’s open meeting. If you would like to attend a workshop meeting please contact us to make arrangements.
