But if they revoked the offer now, couldn't Sham also go the legal route? Unless it is laid down in black and white somewhere that the FD has to be ten clubs, they could claim they are being treated unfairly by being asked to give way. As stated, they've broken no rules, and are presumably budgeting for a B side to exist.
Provisional fixture list released, a Shield makes up the first 6 weeks of the season, then the 20 games.
The whole thing may well be scrapped anyway, but just one small point - does anybody else think that Rovers II should be the club with no fixture on the final day of the season, seeing as they wouldn't be promoted anyway?
Good idea for rovers to be fixtureless on last day.
Where did u see the fixture list?

Why could the loi not have a first division cup like that they did in the 02/03 shortened season when Harps beat Kildare Co in the Final. This takes the biscuit!
The greatest cup victory ever known in the league.Quote:

Only way I can think it make it worthwhile would be to give the winner a promotion spot, or a play-off berth.
Would be a great incentive if the final was to be played in the Aviva as a curtain raiser to the FAI cup final. (subject to the shield finalists not being in the FAI cup final).Quote:

Would they really do the Shield group games before the season started, and then do the final at the end?Quote:

That's because they expect the Shield winners will get decided in the Courts.Quote:

TBH All these fixtures are provisional as i cant see Limerick getting a Licence, it will be a 10 team 27 game league with no shieldQuote:

Way back - in the one division era - they tried the Shield (two rounds of matches) first half before the League and second half after. Didn't boost attendances, though ...
Well well ,there we were thinking we would have none ,now we could have three step forward Limerick Fc,Limerick United and ..wait for it.....Treaty United...….its going to be GREAT.
That's just tempting fate. I can see the 2022 headline now: One More Broken Treaty for Limerick. Don't feed the pun-merchants, hey?
