Dundalk to follow the Rosenborg model

Dundalk FC investor Corey Woolfolk insists the club can follow in Rosenborg’s footsteps by earning themselves the upgrade of Oriel Park that most supporters crave.

The Louth club’s fans, who met their new American-based owners for the first time on Sunday, heard that while minor upgrades to the dilapidated venue would be made — such as improving the away section — a major revamp would “not be immediate”.

New board members Fred Spencer, Jordan Gardner and chairman Michael Treacy outlined to supporters on Sunday their plans to invest in the playing side of things firstly to help Dundalk become Ireland’s dominant side.
