Fans come out to support Bray Wanderers
THE home stands were full for Bray Wanderers clash with league leaders Cork last Sunday.
There were over 1,800 people at the match in Bray on Sunday afternoon, amid a crisis in the local club.
The players released a statement last week announcing that they are all putting themselves on the transfer list. This followed club chairman Denis O’Connor’s announcement that funding has been found to bring the club to the end of the season.
The players union has sought confirmation of what long-term funding has been guaranteed.
‘For us as players it is simply about job security, and we have merely asked that any new investment is secured,’ the players said in a statement.
‘We have provided the club and the FAI with ample opportunity to obtain this information but as we are now entering a third week of uncertainty, we feel we must take this action.
‘A meeting was arranged last night between the players, Bray Wanderers officials and the PFA Ireland. The players requested representation from the FAI at this meeting,’ read the statement.
‘ The FAI did not respond to this request. At this meeting, we reiterated our basic request for details of any new investment and assurance that the investment will be secured. None was provided.’
Bray lost the match on a 0-2 scoreline.
