The Supporters Club (SC) committee note and agree with the concerns expressed regarding Dundalk FC long term strategy. We have been, and are, discussing how best to approach this in a constructive way on behalf of members. We must however act in accordance with our democratically decided aims and objectives. Calls for the SC to seek a meeting with the owners to address uncertainty are noted. The Committee is of that view too, however, we do not have a silver bullet regarding difficulties. Letters have been sent to the owners before by other groups without any effect. It’s now clear that the football club appointed SLO are not in a position to raise these specific concerns with the owners either. So we need to be strategic. Anger, however strongly felt, is not a strategy. Furthermore, we are a supporters body, not a protest group. None of the committee members are advocating that the supporters club involve itself in protests at this time. Our role is a permanent and strategic one and it is the unanimous view of the committee that this would be aided by communication directly between the SC and the owners. A letter will be sent in these regards and will be published here when it is sent. We would however ask that expectations at this phase of the Supporters Club development be kept reasonable and realistic.
