Advertisement Speaking to LMFM this week, Byrne said the process was “99.9% there”. The club hope to hold at least one public meeting ahead of the EGM vote where members and supporters will be given the opportunity to quiz the prospective new owners on their plans.

We’re treading water and we probably are over-exceeding where we should be in terms of the budget we have, the facilities we have,” the chairperson added. Depending on how the promotion race plays out, Drogheda could be the only part-time team competing in the Premier Division next season.In their search for investment, the club held serious talks with four other groups but no firm offers for a takeover were tabled prior to the concrete interest from Trivela Group.
