Drogheda United seek examinership

The High Court has appointed an interim examiner to Drogheda United Football Club which claims it has run into financial difficulties caused by delays over the team's proposed move to a new stadium.

Hinge Trading Ltd, United Park, Windmill Rd, Drogheda, Co Louth, whose principle business is running Drogheda United FC, have sought the protection of the court due to cash flow problems in recent months over a move to a new 10,000 seater stadium on a green-field site south of Drogheda at Bryanstown.
