Benno bids fairwell

Jul 112010

The news that Chris Bennion has left the club may not come as a shock to most fans but it will surely be a dissapointment to all. The majority would agree that Bennion has been one of the best players to pull on a jersey in the last few years. Istat contacted Chris to get a few words from the outgoing captain.

I really enjoyed my time at the club and was honoured to be club captain. The fans around the place are fantastic, and I am not just saying that, they truly are. I did not want to leave the club but that is football I suppose. I just hope the fans seen that I was there trying to help the club build something.

iSTAT would like to wish Chris the best of luck I the future.

guest : im not alone on this !!! bad when committee member is even saying things..anyhow u have ur beliefs and i have mine !!! dats fair enuff
Guest_1433 : be honest
Guest_1433 : you seem to think you kno a lt so why dont you tell theom yourself? those men give up a lot of time for the club, and they dont always make the right decisions but at the same time they're doing their best with the resources they have. a lot of people were elected to various comittees over the years and left or did nothing and what good is that. you obviously just like stirrin things but have no evidence of anything goin on, you're just lookin for a reaction and i dont think you'll get one to
guest : then ye shud tell some of the committee !!!!
Guest_1433 : ye im sure guest
guest : hahaha are u sure bout that !!!
Guest_1287 : im sure the club are well away of their boundaries when it comes to paying players so people should leave them be ans let them get on with it.
Guest_1287 : patron scheme is completely seperate from the club, its a diffent committee nd ther clubs treasurer has absolutelt nothing to do with it. im sure all the accounts will be presented at the end of the scheme to show who was paid etc
guest : also is they money being taken from the patrons schemce which was clearly stated no money would be used for funding the club only for payin old debts !!!
guest : well matters if payments are not done correct and right with the rules of the FAI and the club ends up being kicked out !!
Guest_266 : match was postponed 20's at home tomorrow nite
Guest_57 : howd the 17s do?
Guest_1287 : im sure the accounts will be available at the agm as they are every year so everyones "queries" will be answered then. dont understand why it matters to people though how the players/manageme nt etc are getting paid.
guest : only reason some of players on this is to make room for not players being payed higher wages, and dont forget you have management wages too !!!!!! so think query is correct
Guest_4800 : just read on forum query re wages for players i know players on pay per game if u dont make panel no money i think a lot of players on this agreement
Ger : we cud meet in the Palace Bar while some of the committee are making decisions for the club !!!!
