How would that happen if you can't get the money to keep your own ground? I think the FAI should acquire either Dalyer or Tolka and renovate it to be the underage teams stadium that Bohs and Shels can both use.Quote:

Because practically half of that money is going straight to the management team.Quote:

Why are the soccer community allowing this and not kicking up about it?
What soccer community? Fans of non-Irish teams only have a passing interest, many of the national teams fans are casual supporters who go straight back to parish pump sports once they leave the shiny Aviva. LOI fans are a minority without much support, so even if they cared who would know about it??Quote:

TA, we can't even sing about them without getting fined!
Supporters groups are too busy making sure their clubs don't go to the wallsQuote:

Must indeed pick your battles, although if Delaney started throwing those 1k's into the LOI clubs bars you'd not complain.
What do you want the clubs to do? They're all disasters themselves. Everyone of them is either losing money or in debt. When the clubs ran the league it was an even bigger shambles than it is nowQuote:

its very easy to sit at your laptop demanding this and that be done and say that people aren't doing enough. Your removed from the reality of it allQuote:

And yet anyone who tries to set your straight on any issue is either called a moron, or patronised. Interesting.Quote:
