Multitudes fail to materialise for Cork City’s hour of need

WITH a 3,795-strong crowd in place for last night’s match against Bray Wanderers, numbers were up somewhat, but it wasn’t the great show of allegiance a green politician and the Lord of the Dance had hoped for.

With the club in examinership, Lord of the Dance star, Michael Flatley and a Green Party senator, urged their fans to turn up in droves at Turner’s Cross last night.

“At this time of difficulty, Cork City supporters need to help the club over this hurdle. Cork City FC has been an extremely successful club in sporting terms, it should be given every encouragement to achieve future success,” said Senator Boyle, who lives a hop, skip and a jump from the grounds.
