The New Year has brought little financial respite for a number of eircom League sides.
A Finn Harps shareholders meeting will be followed by a public information meeting in Ballybofey tonight.
The club is almost €300,000 in debt and has to come up with around half of that by 26 January.
Harps may have to revert to a largely amateur set-up and have only four players signed up for next season.
Last season, the weekly wage bill for players was in the region of €12,000 but the figure for 2009 could be anything between one sixth and a half of that amount.
Drogheda United officials are also expected to meet with some of the playing staff tonight.
Champions a year ago, Drogs now find themselves on the brink of extinction, with significant debts to creditors including playing staff and the Revenue Commissioners.
The club needs to show a High Court judge next week that it has raised in the region of €500,000 if it is to emerge from Examinership. The Louth club are thought to have generated approximately €200,000 in funding.
