Aww well, even the best of us can be wrong some times. The Glentoran site isn't somewhere I go to that often;)Quote:

I've even spotted a few people sunbathe on it during games.Quote:

Very simple answer to that - the sponsors have insisted that the games be played at Windsor Park.Quote:

14 team league, to save blushes, anyone?
I heard the 14 team league yesterday and Started a thread on the ILSQuote:

The whole thing is a total balls up, but no surprise really...."we" only had about two years to sort it out.
Presumably DC have spotted some major flaw in their case for it to be dragging on so long, otherwise the IFA would have told them to f*ck off and get on with it, as they did with Portadown.
No problem at all.Quote:

See your post (#26 on this thread) in response to #25.Quote:

That's how this will pan out. I've been an IL regular for years but a return to that - after all we've been promised - would seriously have me consider why keep going.Quote:

Not correct. The IFA wrote it into the rules that all Irish Cup finals must be played at Windsor.Quote:

What rule is it?
When was it written in?
Donegal Celtic have lost their appeal against their exclusion from the new IPL which means the 12 team line up is now confirmed unless they decide to take legal action.

Doubt they'll take legal action, must be cast-iron enough if the IFA weren't told to back down prior to the appeal verdict.
Snippet in the Portadown Times this week refers to PFC beng late with their application to renew the social club licence too :eek:
A cynic could be forgiven for thinking someone was trying to put the club out of business :mad:
They have no need to insist given that it is written into the rules.Quote:

It must have been "written into the rules" at some point after 1995 - so I'm wondering what contract negotiations preceeded the rule?:confused:
