    Pineapple stu has a point. Pete Mahon might not stay around if we are cheated out of a place in the new Premier.

        Maybe a bit dramatic. But we'd still be looking at losing players like Gary Dicker, Darren Quigley and a couple of others. That's hardly going to help us. The longer they stay (up to 23), the more we'll get for them if they move on. So if we get arbitrarily relegated, we're losing money as well. Yes, we'll always get more good players, but I don't want to lose some of the best we've ever had on a whim of the FAI.

          I was sitting on the fence on this but now I'm totally against it!

            Exactly. Imagine Dicker leaving with us never having seen him develop into the finished article.

              I was informed by a source , who claims to have the ear of several FAI officials, that UCD are not going to be shafted.... well at least not this around

                Does he mean that we will have enough points to qualify or are the FAI just doing this because of the possible court case? Also, seeing that we voted yes would we have a case if we were relegated? We would be getting screwed but because of us voting yes would that mean that the club would be alright with the reason for our relegation?

                  The source is not a club official. But he has been a financial benefactor at several EL clubs and has sponsored a few games/matchballs etc at Belfield Park over the years into the bargain.

                    CTID, maybe he's been instructed to put the word out but pacify us.

                        Or maybe there will be hush money coming from Merrion Square for the shaftees ....?
