st francis struggled to make an impact in the league of ireland first division. both their traditional liberties home and their adopted home of clondalkin are areas which st patrick's athletic claim many fans from, and st francis's crowds were small, even by first division standards. in their five seasons in the league, st francis never finished out of the bottom three. after finishing bottom for the third time in the 2000–01, director alan duncan approached st. patrick's athletic with a view to merging. st pats managing director pat dolan was receptive to the idea and two weeks before the 2001–02 season, st francis withdrew from the league. a hurriedly arranged joint press conference was called to announce the arrival of the "dublin saints" after the proposed merger was revealed on a website. st. pats fans were outraged as their club announced plans to call the club "st patrick's athletic including st francis f.c.". in a meeting with st francis supporters, duncan spoke of his wish that the new club be officially renamed the dublin saints. as the season progressed, the merger talks broke down and the merger never materialised. pats did use john hyland park for some friendlies and for underage games, but the ground was never in their possession as it was held in trust for use by st francis only.
