Club Statement
The club would like to clear up today’s events and keep our fans well informed.
Today three players requested to leave the club, something that happens a lot at football clubs around the country. I must emphasise the club didn’t want to lose any of the three players, but two of the players cited lack of game time, and considering that we’re only two games into the season we’re disappointed they couldn’t be patient, but we understand that players just want to play football.
As for our captain requesting to leave, it is probably a difficult one for the fans to grasp. Gary had agreed to sign for the new season and was quoted as being really happy to be leading the team into a new era. Unfortunately, another club has since made Gary an offer, and he decided that’s the best move for him to make.
To you, our fans, the club are as disappointed with today’s departures as you are, and we will look to replace these players in the next 10 days.
As we often hear in sport, no one is bigger than the club itself, and we will move forward with those players who are committed to Ballyclare Comrades Football Club.
