Though it'll be something out of left field like Athlone go boom due to the touch of the golden child.

Sure of course Bohs are finished, hasn't the insurance company black balled the pitch?

Nothing to see here-

Dundalk Football Club can confirm that we have been granted a conditional Premier league licence.Over the past six months the process of transferring the club’s license to the new company in control of Dundalk FC has been on-going. This has been a very complicated process due to the uniqueness of this situation.
Dundalk Football Club has received a request from the independent licensing committee to provide one further piece of information to the licensing committee. This is a formality and will be concluded in the next 24-48 hours.
We’d like to thank all Dundalk fans for their continued support!

A certified transfer of ownership document is just required.

This will confirm the trading company that owns DFC has transfered from Gerry Matthews (company) to the consortium who took it over last season, majority partner is Fastfix (2011 and 2012 club sponsors) backed by DFC Trust.

Statisticians say that only 4% of all Tallaght rumours are true...

That's not to be scoffed at. 90% of all rumours come from Tallaght.

Just do the maths.

Forfty per cent of all people know that!

**Mr A** · 25/02/2013, 4:04 PM

"Dundalk have announced that they have received a full Premier Division licence, after satisfying FAI requirement"

So that's everyone sorted. After what happened last year with Monaghan we can be sure the process was extra rigorous this time round so we can all be confident that the league is on a stable footing now.
