bhs,
That was prior to the last round of the 10 team League.
A comment form a former board member, eight years ago, doesn't define current policy.
Agreed, it was a disaster
Jim Roddy was also a huge advocate of the All Ireland league - and agreed with Droghedas approach to getting their stadium and spending to build an unsustainable teamHe was singing its praises!

he also though Arkaga were misunderstood.
What about an All-Ireland league? Has anyone ever thought of that?
great idea lol
well it is in theory but only 2 clubs up north are big enough. I think 2 ten team leagues or 2 twelve team leagues with a split like the SPL my problem with the current system is clubs like Kildare and drogheda getting hammered every week, more so Kildare.
But like many here i don't like this coming up again and again.

west cork commandos
How about a 12 team premier, has that been tried yet? You'd have to play everyone three times, probably but that wouldn't be a big deal. My picks for the 12 teams would be:
Bohs
Pats
Rovers
UCD
Longford
Wexford
Cork
Harps
Sligo
Dundalk
Galway
A new team in Tipperary
The current system ISN'T WORKING, we have to try something different!
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
why isnt it working? premier division average attendances are up

I think Kildare would probably find their standard if there was an All-Ireland league - particularly when towards the end of the season the Irish League teams decide to throw a few games for a bit of a pay-day!
Mind you what happens when 2 teams are trying to lose a game?!?! 4-4 draw?
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
