A special football breakfast event was held yesterday at the old Irish Stock Exchange on Foster Place, featuring partnerships with CapGem and Drogheda United as excitement builds for the upcoming sports Direct FAI Cup Final. The event was hosted by former club Chair Conor Hoey, with discussions led by Rob Hartnett, who moderated panels with notable figures from Drogheda United and the Trivela Group. Topics included the motivations behind a global multi-club football model and challenges faced by the SSE Airtricity League with previous overseas investors. The event brought together financial industry leaders and discussed Drogheda’s future, including stadium plans and their status as underdogs in Sunday’s final against Derry. With nearly 40,000 expected at the Aviva Stadium, hope for the team’s long-term success remains high despite imminent relegation play-offs.
