Look closely at the logo, source is the AL site:Quote:

Incidentally, just on the Airtricity League website, several of the links using the club crests at the top of the page are broken, generally because they haven't been changed since clubs got promoted/relegated.
The design of the site is nice but whoever maintains it should get the sack. All of the news articles are copy-paste jobs by someone who clearly doesn't understand the first think about computers or the internet, let alone how to manage a website. No spaces between paragraphs, all the same small font, etc. etc.

I'd say there's been some of the inappropriate, non-consensual kind.Quote:

Makes sense.
Sure they'd never promote a club with just weeks to go before the season.
No, wait a minute...
If it was a first division club that may not be getting a license who could it be?
Limerick: They could come up with any number of excuses not to I'm sure but the club seems to be being run well and should be a good addition to the premier if promoted at the end of this season.
Waterford: Have had problems in the past but haven't heard anything recently of financial difficulty etc...
Longford: Seem to be keeping there budget pretty well and will most likely get a premier license.
Mervue: Mumblings of financial trouble but nothing concrete.
Wexford Youths: Working off a modest budget and have a good ground. Surely ok despite Micks problems?
Finn Harps: Had trouble at the end of last season but have come out the other side of it?
SD Galway: Surely working off a modest budget, good facilities and seem to be full steam ahead for the new season.
Athlone: Just had the debts on the ground cleared, have a modest budget also and surely could apply for a premier license.
Anyone have a better idea of the state of the premier teams?
The silence on this is deafening
Just heard a rumor that it's a Big Club.
Anyone else notice that half the first division are going to be playing in blue this season............
Limerick, Waterford and Harps?
who am I missing? Salthill are wearing Claret and blue right? Athlone blue and black
Meh, Athlone are blue. I don't accept the black part.
You would think they would make some sort of statement to say whats going on....Absolute clowns.
If none of them end up playing in the red we'll all be happy!Quote:

hmmm....there are vacancies in the first division if they weren't so pigheaded in wanting only 8 teams. Tossers in the FAI!
before everyone starts rambling on saying how on earth did Limerick get a premier licence for Jackman park they didn't they got one for there new stadium the markets field which they could have nearly 4,000 seats ready to put in ASAP WHILE continued work will happen throughout the season to bring capacity up to the planned 8,100Quote:

Thats not true at all.Quote:

The license was given for the club in case a Premier team goes down, not because of the Market's Field
If any of that is true, then it is laughable.Quote:

Shelbourne Football Club would like to announce that they have, today, been notified that we have been awarded a Premier Division Licence for the 2012 Season.
I would like personally to acknowledge the help of everybody who assisted in the application process and with the subsequent follow-up work that had to be done. It is a great credit to all those volunteers that we have retained our Premier Division Licence.
A special word of thanks to Liam Ward, our Club Licensing Officer who again coordinated the whole process.
Signed,
Joe Casey
On behalf of the Board of Management
Didn't Drogheda get a licence for the premier based on plans for a new stadium or building up their ground? something along those lines anyway. It's certainly nothing new.Quote:

1) The Markets Field would be up to standard within a couple of months or
2) Thomond Park can be used temporarily.
Could be a combination of both also.
Athlone Town - Premier License

I'M guessing before this licence was awarded the FAI would surely of asked if somebody in the premier goes belly up were will ye play yer home games if we award ye a premier licence. JUst talking a guess here lads
So they've been announced - anyone got a full list of who got which Premier/First licences?
That won't come until all clubs have been told. The potential for curveballs remains.
