In November 2023, an approx 900-word version of the below exclusive interview with Trivela Group’s Benjamin Boycott and Wesley Hill, conducted by Love Is The Drog’s Barry Landy, was published in the Irish Daily Star.

Here, the original 2,000-word interview is published for the first time - only for Love Is The Drog subscribers.

At one point during our sitdown with Benjamin Boycott and Wesley Hill ahead of Drogheda United’s final league game of the season against Shelbourne, at that stage merely prospective new owners of the club, the interview was briefly interrupted by club director Conor Hoey who arrived to don the businessmen in claret-and-blue scarfs before they took their seats among the crowd of 2,180 packed into Weavers Park.
