Last ditch bid to save Cork City

CORK CITY chairman Tom Coughlan has revealed that he is attempting to have Friday night’s League of Ireland Premier Division home fixture against Bray Wanderers brought forward 24 hours in order to facilitate a last ditch effort to save the stricken club.

Backroom staff in Leeside were last night attempting to contact the FAI and Bray Wanderers to organise a rescheduling and Coughlan claimed he was hopeful that the people of Cork would support such a push.

It had already emerged yesterday morning that the Revenue Commissioners are now demanding Cork City Investments Ltd pay their total tax liabilities bill of €439,000, twice as much as was due on Monday afternoon leading to the club to appeal for donations ahead of Friday’s proposed winding-up of the 25-year-old club.
