Anyone got any information about approximate number of full time pros at each LOI club ?
How many players at Bohs are full-time ?
Do Fingal have a fully pro squad (ie 20+ players) ?
What is the situation at Shams ?
Are Dundalk full-time ?
St Pats ? Sligo ?
How many full time pros do Cork and Derry now have ?
Cork and Derry probably don't have any
Bohs - fully full timeQuote:

Pats - part-time
Sligo - ??
Derry City - part-time
Cork City FORAS Co-op - part-time
Harps have 37 full time Public Relations Officers. That's the reason we're on the edge of extinction.
Mistakes were made, lessons were learned.
That's what I thought apart from Pats - weren't they full time last season ? Have they reverted to semi-pro ?Quote:

I think most of our lads are training full time apart from O'Grady. Not sure about the younger lads but I'd say they are FT too.
Dundalk have 14 Full time players supplemented by 3-4 Youth/u-20 players who are obviously part time. Worth noting that the only player over 21 on the bench for Dundalk tonight was Matt Gregg. Breen is 18, Murphy 17, McGuigan 20, and Mulvenna 21. Alan Cawley is still out injured.
Pat's definitely have some part-time players - am fairly sure it's the whole squad. I know Fingal have fit some of their squad up with jobs at the club, so they're probably not all technically full-time footballers.Quote:

Sligo Rovers i suppose are considered full time - that said considering the wages that some of the players are on its a wonder that they dont seek part time employment.
Pats are definitely all part time. Ironically enough though our fitness this year seems better
It should be noted that not all players work though
We've no full timers.
I thnk our training is from 10am each day and some days has a bit of swimming/gym work in the afternoon ? What about diets ? I wonder does the club provide a meal after training, since its now full time ?Quote:

thanks for the info
looks like a good set up at Dundalk, exciting times up there right now
would love to know what the situation is at Shamrock Rovers
how many of UCD's players are actually students there ? how many on scholarships ?Quote:

From my understanding of Shamrock Rovers very few of the players have jobs outside of football but the option is there, as far as I know they train early evenings. With the amount of training and matches involved it's be pretty hard to hold down anything substantial during the season.
Mahon said in the programme tonight that "6 or 7 of our players" had to go to work the day after the UCD game on Monday, so I suppose there's the answer for Pat's.
