Limerick failed on the grounds that we didn't secure a long-term lease on Hogan Park. Apparantly we will have one by the end of next week at Jackman Park and so should be granted our licence on appeal

My understanding is that the only aspect that stopped Harps getting a premier license is our current lack of seats, which can be easily be remedied if the IAG/FAI were to put us in the premier.
Just remember that its the FAI that award licences not the league. The same FAI that will now run our league. Just shows where this is going anyway :rolleyes:
How can a club that has a pending court case for a winding up order get a licence? Anyone know the answer to that one? Oh yeah, cause its the FAI! Football in this country is screwed with these idiots in charge and what's worse our clubs voted to put them in charge.
Obviously they are 100% sure shels will overcome this winding up order too, after all they owe shels cash for winning the league !!!!

What's the story with the Dublin City vacancy? When will they be making an announcement about that or decide who gets that place?
And if Limerick don't get sorted out (and I think they probably will) will there even be a vacancy, or in that case would the FAI look for two new teams?
I would imagine that the delay with the whole new team issue is down to waiting to see if we do get the finger out and organise ourselves. As a big city that the league do want to keep we've been indulged quite a lot over the years and have possibly gotten a bit complacent. If Limerick was a smaller town we'd probably have been told to put up or shut up years ago. As it is... I think we'll be ok but it's going to be two steps back once more for us a club.Quote:

For what it's worth, I was talking to the FAI on Thursday and brought up the licencing farce. They were adamant that it was being properly administered (as I actually agree it is, within its own definition). I mentioned that clubs were going into liquidation, getting winding up orders and failing to pay their players. The FAI noted that licencing had actually brought to the surface the issues which are now being dealt with by the Revenue (honest to God!) and that no club had outstanding payables at all under the definition, which was that (a) a wage had to be outstanding in the end of year audited accounts, (b) consent in writing from the player had to be missing and (c) they were given a year to pay off any such unconsenting outstanding payables. Something ridiculously fudgey like that. Licencing is utterly utterly meaningless. It really is a disgrace.
AFAIK, Kildare County got a 1st Division license, reason for not getting a premier was because the stadium did not match seating requirements.

If Limerick do not make it, will the FAI bother having any new teams in and just plod on with 20?:confused:
Well if they have advertised the vacant position, maybe they might take two teams instead of just one if they get enough applications of course.
Interesting post.Quote:

Either you get a licence or you dont. How could a club be struggling?:confused:
Kildare County qualified for a Premier License in all categories except the stadia. This was because they don't have the required number of seats.
Thats what was said at the player awards.
So they should get a Division one license if that is the case
i think limerick not making it would be good news for the FAI. Limerick just isnt waterford :rolleyes:Quote:

I have a feeling they know that already.
