Stadiums

Shelbourne Park
did they play anywhere else around Ringsend (Irishtown Stadium ?)
Harolds Cross Stadium.

LoI Seasons
maybe you should reference that Reds Utd. took their place for a year before Shelbourne returned again. I think the club had an administrative row withthe FAI, not positive on the details.

They were 2 different teams, cause Shelbourne were playing in the AUL at the time when Reds United were in the league.

You're right I'm sure they were separate clubs.
But for me it was too much of a coincidence. Shelbourne FC step out, Reds Utd. FC step in. Reds Utd. FC step out, Shelbourne FC step in again.
I havn't checked players squads or anything but my understanding was there was some connection.

(maybe keep it for the Reds Utd thread.)

From wiki:

''
In 1934 the club got into a dispute with the Free State F.A. when they looked for compensation when the FAIFS arranged a match for the same day as Shelbourne had a match scheduled. In the row that followed, Shels resigned from the League and were then suspended from football for a year by the FAI. The club played no football during the 1934/35 season and spent the 1935/36 season in the Athletic Union League before being re-admitted to the League of Ireland for the start of the 1936/37 season. During the 1935/36 season a team called Reds United (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reds_United_F.C.), made up of a number of Shels players and backed by Shels personnel, competed in the League of Ireland and finished a respectable fourth. At the end of the season, they resigned from the League to make way for Shels return.

Interestingly Reds United were also Leinster Senior League Champions in 1935/36.
What intrigues me re this mid 1930's disagreement Shels & LOI was why did they drop to the AUL and not the Leinster League ?
