Sporting Fingal states its case for community support

Sporting Fingal FC, the recently founded Eircom League of Ireland community based football club, will compete in the Eircom League First Division in the 2008 season. The setting up of this new independently funded club and the proposed development by Fingal County Council of a football academy complex are part of the council’s football development plan which has been almost 2 years in the making.

Former Irish International player Liam Buckley has been appointed Director of Football with Sporting Fingal FC. A third element of the council’s football development plan would see a long term proposal being put forward to facilitate the construction of a community sports stadium.

Although not investing financially in Sporting Fingal FC, Fingal County Council is firmly committed to ensuring that this new club will build and develop a strong community spirit through sport in Ireland’s fastest growing county.

Sporting Fingal FC is privately funded by a team of owners and investors who came together in response to an invitation for expressions of interest advertised by Fingal County Council in mid-2007. The majority share in Sporting Fingal FC is owned by Gerry Gannon, a businessman well known for his longstanding involvement in community based projects.

Primary club sponsorship has also been committed by Keelings Group Ltd., Anglo Irish Bank Corporation and Liffey Developments.

The club is trying to set up a supporters’ club in the Fingal area and being a member costs €5 and entitles the member to a leather wallet, membership card and 10% off merchandise and entry to Morton Stadium.
