Seems like confirmation for Wexford Youths FC (and the God awful name). Anyone fancy they're chances? We all talk a good game on here but does anyone play one?

Best of luck Mick!
didn't realise pat dolan was in charge. where will the home games be played?
I dunno, the Youths tag, the locals only policy and Dolan's involvement smacks of this being an acadamy for sending players accross the water.
I think Wallace plans to be the manager with Dolan as coach. Surely we're not gong to have a senior side in the national league called youths ? It's a terrible name , we already have a college team, now it looks like a youth team , whats next? Glenamaddy under 12's ?
They'll be playing at a place called Newcastle, Crossabeg it's on the outskirts of Wexford town just off the N11. I've reservations myself about the whole set-up becoming an academy/feeder club for Reading. Dolan is supposed to be head coach with Wallace as manager. Another article in Wexford People gives good insight into Wallace's playing philosophy and he likens one of his latest batch of youths to Kevin Doyle. I can't remember him signalling out an individual player in a similar manner before so might be one to watch.
Here's the full article:Quote:
It was fitting that the final goal should fall to Danny Furlong. I couldn't help thinking, as I watched Danny's movement, of a fine footballer from Adamstown who played in two All-Ireland finals for the Wexford Youths.

As has been pointed out on this board before, the de facto name for this new club will by 'FC Young Boys Ferns' - 'Wexford Youths' will be used for clerical purposes only.Quote:

Dolan coaching would be interesting. Maybe thats why he has lost so much weigh lately? Still can't see him allowing another Manager make decisions above him as he'd leave in a fit sooner or later moaning about lack of ambition...
Well there's one less name for their schooligans to choose from.:D
I see what you did there..... :cool:Quote:

Just simply Wexford FC would have been fine ffs Mick.
No chance that this is just a provisional name?
Best of luck to them anyway.
why would the fat pimp's involvement colour my opinion?Quote:

Billy Lord what an excellent idea and Website address :D
Wexford Youths as a name could run into problems. Especially if they sign a 36 year old veteran player to show the kids the ropes so to speak. They could have issues under the Trade Descriptions Act :D
The Wednesday got their name because they were made up of apprentices during their foundation who could only play on Wednesday afternoons as that was their half day off work.
I've just copped that Juventus means Youth, Wallace is a season ticket holder at Juventus, explains a lot! Still possibly the worst name ever!
Here's the latest on the trials from the Wexford People Newspaper. I'm sure the Pat's and Cork fans will be delighted to read the glowing tribute to Pat Dolan and Mick Wallace for their work with Kevin Doyle. ;)

Here's an article this from weekend's Sunday Times on the subject...

Fingers crossed we get in!
Does Wexford Youths have an official site yet? I am curious to do some reading
