Well its Dec 11th and the clubs are going to find out where they stand in the delaney divisions today. I would just like to wish everyone one the best of luck and hope that the FAI, IAG or whoever do everyting openingly and by the rules they set out themselves.
I would like to provisionally welcome Galway Utd. and Shamrock Rovers to the top division in Irish football. Looking forward to seeing you in the new season.
Galway's on the field points are well behind there closest rivals - Bray, and even further behind the next closest which is UCD. There on the field is not going to be that much better than Bray's (as our's should be marked very well) that they over take us. The gap is to big between them and UCD.
when is the league line-up being announced?
Will an announcement be made today ? Unsurprisingly there's no mention of it on the FAI website. If anyone gets any info post it here, please.
Apparently, the clubs will be informed individually this morning of their whereabouts for next season and there is a press conference at 4.00pm this evening to make the announcements public.
How likely is this?
unlikely...
am slightly nervous...ya never know with the fai...
Looking forward to visting all the premier Grounds next year.
Why you supporting Sligo next year?Quote:

The clubs will probably start firing it on the Websites straight away, but we should have unconfirmed reports fairly quickly. Dundalk will be one of the first clubs in, Galway won't be too far behind them.
The Iag wil meet the F.A.I. at the Citywest hotel at approximately 12 noon. This will be a private meeting and they will give the F.A.I. the list of what teams they recommend to partake in the new premier and first divisions respectively.
At 2.30pm (after grub) the F.A.I. will call each club individually (and alphabetically) and inform them if they are in the Premier or if they are not. Bray will be in first and Dundalk soon after. I'd say it will be done quickly as it is bound to leak and Waterford may know their fate before they even get to the room.
Best of luck to all concerned
Surely Bray will know before Dundalk and Galway?
If Bray are in, then that's one less place for one of the clubs hoping to step up.
Edit* Carotheplayer edited his post to clarify this...
yeah Bray will know first. If they are out there will be some craic then. To be honest with Terryland's facilities I can't see Galway in the first division next season. I think Galway will be in the premier.
IF, and it's a big IF they stick to the marking rules they have set out themselves then there is no way Dundalk or Galway can get more points than us
What's the odds of someone visiting the lawyers tomorrow? Should run well into March.
Galway Utd are only 70 points behind after the on the field pts are added up and with 500 pts still up for grabs they are still in with a chance. Lets all stop speculating and just wait and see.Quote:
