MONS SECURE UEFA “A” LICENCE
Monaghan United were delighted with the news on Monday evening that they were being awarded a UEFA “A” Licence. This shows the hard work and dedication to the development of the stadium and that the infrastructure around the club is top notch.

Credit for the processing of the licence goes to Colm Mahony, the Clubs Licensing Officer who has worked really hard over the past few Months.

Chairman Jim McGlone said “I am delighted that we have been awarded the “A” licence. Colm Mahony has worked hard on behalf of the club over the past few months and the success in getting the licence is down to his dedication to making sure that everything was correct”

I believe they call it the Premier licence.That's what we had last year and I believe what we got this year. The most significant difference is that you still get part funding from the FAI for your CPO in the First Division if you attain a Premier licence. Anyway, happy days I know all at LTFC are well pleased. Makes a nice change to get it first time :) .

Pretty sure thats not true, but great if it is.

[Magicme]

I know but after that the FAI do a press release. Was just saying that it hadnt been sent yet so I didnt know about other clubs than ourselves. Are you the new NYHoop??

Oh and Mr A, yes that was the deal last year, if you had an "A" licence you got funding for the CPO programme. Ironic that just when I got a new job I love that there may now be the position I wanted available!

Close, he's one of the mr.men but I pity the fool who gets Mr.T mixed up with Mr.A. (sorry opportunity was there so.....)

[Magicme]

Doh, not awake yet. Sleepless night with excitement I guess! Sorry Mr T, but u are dead and buried in my garden.

[Lim till i die]

What about Limerick? Did they?

We got Two licences!!! :ball:

[Mr A]

People often get me and Mr A mixed up. I'm not entirely sure why that is to be honest.

[Sam_Heggy]

Me neither, its crazy I tell ya :p

[Sam_Heggy]

We got Two licences!!! :ball:

Just to be sure, they gave one for Limerick 37 and another with just Limerick on it just to be safe. They should have made it sporting Limerick, its about the only name left at this stage.

[Lim till i die]

Exactly.

Are you John Delaney??

That's crazy talk.

I'd imagine we will be dropping the 37 in the forseeable.

It's the Limerick part of our name I've always found important.

[Sam_Heggy]

Exactly.

Are you John Delaney??

Jeez it was just a joke, no need for the horrible name calling :(

its hard to keep up tbh.

[Ash]

From what I was told last night the licences have changed and are awarded
on a divisional basis, meaning that if you are in the 1st Division you can only
go for/get a 1st Division Licence.

[Magicme]

Well then why were we told we got an "A" licence?? Are we going to be put in the A league??? :eek:

[Longfordian]

Not sure about that either Ash, I know we applied for a Premier licence and weren't informed at any stage that we can't get one. We'll see what the official confirmation says I guess.

[John83]

We got Two licences!!! :ball:
That's a dog licence for the one man, and a TV licence so he still has something to do if the club disbands during the season. ;)

[Lim till i die]

Well then why were we told we got an "A" licence?? Are we going to be put in the A league??? :eek:

Maybe the criteria were all attendance based this year?? :p

[Lim till i die]

I can confirm that Limerick (insert your own suffix here) have been awarded a first division licence for the coming season.

This is the first time since licencing began that the senior football team in Limerick has been awarded a licence at the first time of asking.

Progress?? Or conclusive proof that licencing is a sham?? :p

[jebus]

What's that Lassie? The sound of a glass house breaking? :p

[Ash]

Not saying anyone si right or wrong, twas just what I was told

[Magicme]

I know Ash. Your alright, got the same type of response from Mr Egan last nite!

[passerrby]

im lead to believe that licences were issued after clubs collected tokens from the weetabix boxs (noel Mooney promotion) five for an A and three for a B and as most mons can eat up to five weetabix we got out A
or alternatively licences are issued according to the amount of bullsiht we all talk that would account for our A licence

[Lim till i die]

Suddenly the League of Ireland makes sense

[Longfordian]

Town were awarded a Premier Division Licence according to www.ltfc.ie

[blue til i die]

We got ours too!

[Mr A]

Finn Harps FC are delighted to confirm that the club has been awarded a premier license in all categories. FHFC would like to extent their thanks to Licensing Officer Christian Carbin and all those who helped make the application a success.

Harps also get premier license.

lads quick question considering shels only qualified for a first division licence what happens if they get promoted?:confused:

[Schumi]

[Buile Shuibhne]

They'd have to get a premier licence next year or they wouldn't be promoted.

As will all 10 teams in total who qualify - on the field - at the end of the 2008 season to go into the 2009 Premier Division

[Raheny Red]

According to a post on our forum we only applied for the first division license.

[higgins]

Yes, Shelbourne only applied for a first division licence.
Next season we'll be applying for the premier one :)

[Longfordian]

Have all clubs come through the process? Rumour had it yesterday that one First Division club was in bother. It wasn't us for a change.The only ones that don't seem to have confimed the award are Wexford, Dundalk and Fingal or did Fingal already have theirs?

Dundalk got a Premier licence last year, no news from Oriel yet on the 08 licence though, wouldn't expect us to be in any (major) difficulties.

What's the news on United Park? Where will Drogs be playing next season?

[Longfordian]

They got a Premier licence for United Park this year on condition that all matches are all ticket according to Aertel

from www.eircomloi.ie


All eircom League of Ireland clubs receive licences

The Football Association of Ireland’s Club Licensing Committee has awarded licences to all 22 eircom League of Ireland clubs for the 2008 season.

All 12 Premier Division clubs have received Premier Division licences, as have three clubs in the First Division who fulfilled the criteria for a Premier Division licence. The remaining seven clubs, including Sporting Fingal, have been awarded First Division licences.

Although St. Patrick’s Athletic were awarded a licence, this was subject to the club submitting further information to the Club Licensing Committee within an agreed timeframe. A financial sanction was also imposed on the club.

All clubs have been notified of the Club Licensing Committee’s decision. Clubs have the right to appeal decisions to the Club Licensing Appeals Body.

The Club Licensing Committee has already awarded “A” Championship licences last November to the new clubs that will be joining the eircom League this season.

Cheers.

[iceman]

Drogs have now met this condition and tickets will be on sale through Ticketmaster.

[higgins]

All ticket because Drogheda were allowing too many people into the ground and this went against the fire officers stadium regulation figure ?

Pats have exceeded the total number of Brian Kerrs allowed by the FAI :(

If you don't sort that out it could be Kerrtains for the club before the season even starts...
