Foot.ie Talks To... Bob Breen. Your Questions Please.

take our gufc rescheduled game for tuesday versus sligo in the connacht derby. changed because dub city then city change game from thursday to friday then to saturday and now to sunday, meaning we didnt need to reschedule our game v sligo after all. liverpool are playing same night and have way more support than chelsea and now gufc will be down about 800-1000 patrons because of this messing that didnt need to happen in the end anyway. €4 to 5k is a lot of revenue to lose in the 1st division because of incompetence how did they get a licence

pburkeg, i hear you fella but that is not a UEFA licensing related question to be fair so i cant really ask Bob that.

We will be lining up further Q&A sessions in the future and hopefully they will provide you with a better opportunity to have that question answered.

If you think that game rescheduling and other procedures that concern the league would be a good topic for a Q&A session, just suggest them here and we'll sort something out but questions on the current topic are the only ones that will be sent on this occasion.

I will be sending the questions off tomorrow evening so if you have any questions .... get them in now !!

What minimum standards did those grounds (Finn Park and United Park spring to mind) which didn't meet the respective infrastructural requirements but got a license based on concrete plans for development, have to meet?

Would the FAI consider consult with a fans council(representative from each club idea) with regards to what issue we encounter as fans and take our suggestions for Licence requirements on board.

This would help as the representatives could then speak to their clubs fans and explain the latest requirements etc

Questions gone off, yes? Shame - how Shamrock Rovers got a licence in light of the recent news of their going into examinership with massive debts and no evident cutback in spending (signing Jason Gavin, staying overnight in a plush hotel in Ballybofey recently, as mentioned on another thread here) while other clubs make huge efforts to rein in their debts would have been very interesting to hear...

Will hope against hope that one slips in...

Sorry about that folk .... i meant to post that the questions are gone off now so no more will be added.

pineapple stu .... hopefully between the answers to the other question, you'll find the answer to that one. I think the questions cover pretty much everything across the board, so they should be fair enlightening answers.

We'll wait and see !!

Closed.
