The board of management of Foras, the supporters’ trust which runs Cork City, has expressed its desire for the Munster Football Association to engage with Grovemoor Ltd regarding the use of Turner’s Cross.

Last week, a takeover of City by Grovemoor was placed on hold as the company couldn’t come to an agreement with the MFA on the stadium. While City have been assisted by Trevor Hemmings – owner of Grovemoor – in terms of applying for an SSE Airtricity League licence for the 2021 season, the club have admitted that the current business model makes challenging for silverware difficult.
