But I have inside info. that a club called Cork Celtic are on the way!
Yee might know him, Noel Hennessy is the guy responsible!

competition in any / all areas can only be a welcome and is a very healthy thing and can only strengthen all parties
i would think one cork city team is enough in the prem div we have one of the best supported clubs in the loi itfwe had 2 teams it mightened be the same . i think its better to build 1 good team than 2 average. imagine all shels sham bohs extra got to gether as one they could compete better in eorope for one.but on the other hand from a city fan point of view its better if they didnt.
I agree with more teams in the El league coupled with relegation from the first.
the idea of a second team from Leeside defo not. I believe thats whats helped the demise of a lot of the past cork teams. We already have two teams in cork county - thats enough.
a team from Kerry would be good another Munster Derby
i dont think its a good idea to bring in another team from Cork as they would talk Ramblers players
I think it could only be good! I'm from Turners Cross and almost everyone I go to games with is too! Most of them wouldn't go if we moved to Bishopstown!
I know a few 'Norrie's' who,"would go,but it's a bit far"!
That just says everything!
The central area of Cork County is one of the more densely populated parts of rural Ireland, if another Cork team is to come than maybe there with the name Cork County ?
Wouldn't take more than a couple of hundred max off city surely ?
i think we should get new teams in but not from cork. surely two cork teams is enough. we need to get the counties who are not involved in the league at present and such are kerry league anfd mayo league.
I'd reckon that City get what eL audience there is.Quote:

I don't see how another club competing for the same punters would strenghten City.
Maybe your right and the arrival of another team would spark the interest fo another few thousand people, but I doubt it.
lads, i know its been stated before and we hav signed petitions for it but the only way to expand the premier divison is to hav an all ireland league,i think it would have a great influence on crowds?
wat u all think
maybe you're right oddboyQuote:

i doubt if there are very many people sitting in Cork wanting to go and see LOI football but not wanting to go and see Cork City.
CCFC are one of the most supported teams in the league with probably the highest average home gate and one could argue that this could be a reason to start a new NL club.
However, CCFC have such a high following because people travel from all over the county to watch them - from Skibereen to Youghal from Kanturk to Kinsale.
CCFC have also built up a huge following over the years and are an established club. You don't see people changing to Cobh Ramblers and I doubt it very much if anyone would switch to any new team that would come on stream from either Cork City or Cobh Ramblers.
For a new NL team you would need:
- Supporters
- A stadium
- Financial backing
- High quality players
Kildare did it because theres a lot of people in Kildare and their nearest team is in Dublin, it worked there but there isn't a snowball's chance in hell of there being a third NL team in Cork in my opinion.
(BTW, whos Noel Hennessy?)
Noel Hennessy is manager of Wilton United and CIT!
Fair enough but does he have the neccessary financial backing? Where would this new club play? Where would they hope to get supporters from? I can't see this as being anymore than a far off dream that will never materialise.Quote:

IMO, a new club would be a non-runner. We have all the available el support and I can't see anyone switching alliegance. I think it would be a terrible idea.
cork doesnt need new teams; other areas of the country does.

Or even replace Ramblers!!! :D :D :D
I'd think there might be scope to include the Universities in providing extra teams, their appeal is straight forward, much the same as UCD, it allows an education in tandom with a football career and it certainly would benefit the footballer, I belief educational ties between clubs and third level institutes is certainly a way forward and it has a bigger appeal than working in some sports shop/part-time footie...
If we're trying to expand the league, then we have to hit new areas (Kerry, Mayo, Tipp etc) and not established areas. The new team should have a ground as close as possible to a town centre and preferably in a town that isn't huge on both GAA fronts.
Following UCD's example isn't good as although they are a fine club, they do not add any supporters and it's unlikely that there are students in NUI Galway wanting to watch our league that aren't watching Galway Utd (likewise around the country) What we need is teams in places that have potential to bring new bug crowds and that means we cannot hit areas where there is already an eL team
It will be tough for any new club, now more than ever, because of UEFA licensing
