Hopefully straight forward licences get given to everyone straight away there has been enough of a mess about the make up of things next season already.

Bray will will just scrape through with a licence, there main issue was finance they are extremely in dire straits, but have made adequate cut-backs to obtain a licence although does not look good for the coming season on or off the pitch.

I have no doubt we'll get a Premier Licence. I can't remember when we didn't get one.

Either your using your Daddy's account, you have an extreme case of short term memory, or you're a very well trained toddler in terms of computer skills!

Yes I think that's right. It was apparently because we applied for a First Division one only by mistake. We've had a Premier Licence every year before and since, not without a hitch some years but not recently thankfully!

The one eyed nature of this league at times

Longford there, one of the Premier standard elite.

It now appears, according to today's papers, that the licences will be awarded this afternoon, with Limerick having won a Premier licence "If a vacancy arises in the Premier Division, Limerick will be promoted, while if there is a vacancy in the First Division, Tralee Dynamos will be elected".

**GCdfc** · 15/02/2012, 9:43 AM

hmmm....there are vacancies in the first division if they weren't so pigheaded in wanting only 8 teams. Tossers in the FAI!

**Mr A** · 15/02/2012, 9:48 AM

Finn Harps confirm a first division license.

before everyone starts rambling on saying how on earth did Limerick get a premier licence for Jackman park they didn't they got one for there new stadium the markets field which they could have nearly 4,000 seats ready to put in ASAP WHILE continued work will happen throughout the season to bring capacity up to the planned 8,100

LImerick has alwayssaid they
will not move into the markets field
until they get into premier league

Thats not true at all.

How could they possibly have 4,000 seats put in place in two weeks?

The license was given for the club in case a Premier team goes down, not because of the Market's Field

If any of that is true, then it is laughable.

Even if Limerick are awarded a PD license on the basis of a ground they might have in the future, that is equally laughable.

Shelbourne Football Club would like to announce that they have, today, been notified that we have been awarded a Premier Division Licence for the 2012 Season.

I would like personally to acknowledge the help of everybody who assisted in the application process and with the subsequent follow-up work that had to be done. It is a great credit to all those volunteers that we have retained our Premier Division Licence.

A special word of thanks to Liam Ward, our Club Licensing Officer who again coordinated the whole process.

Signed,

Joe Casey
On behalf of the Board of Management

Didn't Drogheda get a licence for the premier based on plans for a new stadium or building up their ground? something along those lines anyway. It's certainly nothing new.

If we got a premier licence it's for one the following reasons I would think.

1) The Markets Field would be up to standard within a couple of months or
2) Thomond Park can be used temporarily.

Could be a combination of both also.

They will put in temporary seating for the season while work continues you hardly think the FAI would let them up to premier playing in Jackman park no chance would not even come close to premier standard. I'M guessing before this licence was awarded the FAI would surely of asked if somebody in the premier goes belly up were will ye play yer home games if we award ye a premier licence. JUst talking a guess here lads
