Drogheda United FC will host a public meeting next Wednesday, 28th October 2009 at 8 p.m. sharp in the TLT Concert Hall & Theatre, Matthew's Lane, Drogheda (beside Tesco Extra).
This meeting follows last week's announcement by the board of DUFC that it intends to transfer its shareholding in DUFC to the Claret & Blue Club and turn Drogheda United into a non-profit-making, community club. It also follows a week of talks involving DUFC management, the founders of the Claret & Blue Club and members of the DUISC committee.
It is vitally important that everyone who has an interest in the club and in its role in the community attends.
The agenda will cover the progress within the club in the past year, the present status of the club, the reasons behind the decision to propose transforming the club into a community club owned and directed by the Claret & Blue Club, the mechanisms for the transfer in ownership, the future of the club and its pivotal role in the community. There will also be a number of key announcements on the night.
Main speakers will be: Vincent Hoey & Sean Connolly, DUFC.
Jonathan Roche, Chairman Shamrock Rovers.
Noel Byrne, Director and General Manager Shamrock Rovers.
Alan Mathews, 1st team Manager DUFC.
There will also be a number of individuals who will comment and take questions including representatives from the FAI.
Buses to the venue will leave United Park at 7.15 p.m. and McDonald's fast food restaurant at 7.25 p.m.
The meeting will be broadcast live on Drogs Live Radio. There is a chat option as well to ask any questions you may have. In order to chat you need to register which only takes about 15 seconds. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/drogs-live or http://www.claretandblueclub.com/drogs_radio.html
