Founded and elected to the league in 1984 to continue the long tradition of Association Football in Cork, City's traditional colours are green and white with red trim, and the crest is a variant of the Cork coat of arms. The club play home games at Turners Cross. It was one of the first clubs in Ireland (and the first in Cork) to field a team of professional footballers. With the progression of professionalism at the club, continued development of the Turner's Cross stadium and the transition to summer football, the club became one of the biggest and best supported clubs in the country. Between 2008 and 2010 however, the club suffered financial hardships and management controversy. The club entered a period of examinership in 2008 and was subject to a winding up order taken by the Office of the Revenue Commissioners. Despite some temporary stays, the financial and management issues meant the resignation of the club chairman, several months of court and legal wrangling, and denial of a Premier Division license by the FAI licensing committee. Ultimately the club's holding company, Cork City Investments Fc Ltd, was wound up by the courts. The fans ensured City was still represented in the League of Ireland by entering under the temporary name Cork City FORAS Co-op in the immediate aftermath of the winding up of the previous holding company Cork City Investments Fc Ltd. The club subsequently purchased the rights to the name "Cork City Football Club" from the liquidators and will compete under this name next season. Cork City FC never ceased to exist as the former holding company Cork City Investments Fc Ltd was still in existence during its liquidation period when the name and intellectual property were purchased, and the underage teams continued to exist under the name while owned and funded by the fans. So get behind our little club.whatever happens this season itll be emotional.
I was in Cork a couple of years ago, nice place. There's a town round there with a right funny name, what's it called again?
I rarely go into the city these days, Sword, preferring the people-free countryside, but you're still preaching to the converted. Cork City are a tidy wee outfit. I went a couple of times when I first came here and always look out for their scores. I'm watching Shamrock Rovers against Dundalk at the moment (live on RTE 2), 1-1 at half-time, thinking that these teams would probably be a reasonable match for most teams in Scotland - barring Rangers, Celtic and Hearts. Nice video. I watched it a couple of times, just on the off-chance I might see someone I know (which is hardly likely, really, as I have precisely zero friends.) Tragic.

Sligo brought big numbers up with them tonight. A very tidy outfit. I haven't seen so many people at estadio brandywell ever i don't think
