Dundalk have confirmed this evening's Irish Independent story that a group headed by John Temple, a native of the town, have agreed a takeover that gives them majority control of the club.
"Dundalk is a football town and the club is hugely important to all the staff, players and supporters," said Temple. "We appreciate the concerns raised by all of our supporters in recent weeks and it has underscored what the club means to every one of them."
In that statement released to local media, Silverlane listed some of their aims, including 'opening the indoor pitches at Oriel Park to the public on a full-time basis to include the installation of a new gym, the installation of solar panels to lower energy costs and creating a community sensory room and a coffee shop open seven days a week.'
This leaves the door open to a second consortium, headed up by a former Dundalk player based in Slovakia, being part of the arrangement. Talks on that are scheduled for this evening and tomorrow.
