History

Where's your money gone, Where's your money gone, Ronan Seery Home Farm is one of the biggest junior football clubs in Ireland and their senior team ,from 1970 up to the late 1990s, played in the League of Ireland. However, the link between Home Farm and the senior team was severed in the late 1990s. The senior side was briefly known as Home Farm Fingal in an effort to identify it with the north Dublin area. In 1999 Home Farm Fingal CEO Ronan Seery took over the club and renamed it "Dublin City". The club was based in Dublin and in 2006, its final year of operation, played its home matches at Dalymount Park. The last manager was Dermot Keely. For other uses, see Dublin (disambiguation). ...

The club got promoted twice to the premier division, winning the First Divisio in 2003 and on the second occason, in 2005, with a 3-2 aggregate play-off victory over Shamrock Rovers. However they failed to cultivate a significant fan-base. Some very low attendances were reported at their games [1]. In addition to its small following, the club had no permanent home ground, playing at various times in Tolka Park, Dalymount Park, Morton Stadium, Richmond Park and Whitehall Stadium. As a result of these factors, the club experienced financial problems and as of July 19, 2006, Dublin City FC ceased trading and resigned from the Eircom League. The results of all their games to that point in the season were expunged from the record.

Ronan Seery issued a statement saying, "Due to ongoing difficulties, our continued existence within the eircom League simply became untenable and while extremely difficult to make, it is the most prudent and honourable decision and course of action to take" [2]. However, the club was heavily criticised in some quarters, for example by Damien Richardson and Roddy Collins for failing to complete their league fixtures [3].
