It could go down to what teams want to vote themselves into junior soccer.
:eek:
i say no, our club has worked very hard to get where we are, why should other teams just come up because of a simple vote, a 12 team league with 2 new teams a elected to the league into division one.
Let's make the premier a 12 team league and the first a 10 team league and see if they complain.
12 team first division makes sure teams are ready to come up because of a better standard... I'd say longford will be a no vote.
lets start of 04 in a strange way, i agree with xlex
of course First division sides will vote for it. but if they can't get in by winning , how would they survive in it.
you should fúcking vote for it too, for if you didn't it would be like turkeys voting for Christmas.... your not one of the big guy's yet so don't get your hopes up... :rolleyes:
the lower first division clubs would also be spelling immediate danger for themselves if they go near this proposal...
either spend to make the top 16 in the first two seasons or resign themselves to junior football.... no way...
I can see this proposal being hammered... 12 team league may just make it but at the end of the day, without agreement of at least 6 premier sides Bray's bull**** won't see the light of day...
can propose anymore bull**** reasons to change something which hasn't even been marketed right without anywhaere between 7 - 10 junior clubs being interested... and that won't happen. you need promotion & relegation, you need two divisions... and a 10 and a 12 make more sence that a 12 and a 10 setup...

05 Maybes, majority will be No votes
06 yes, from clubs who don't want to earn the right...
I can't see us going for it.
I'd say Dundalk could be a YES.
Our chairman has come out against it, we're not ready.
ha ha will yee ever be ready
IMO this is the most ludicrous discussion inside the eL in all my years supporting it.
1. Proposed by annual yoyo club after its own self interest.
2. No facts about what is being proposed - 22 team league for 1 or 2 seasons? what happens at end of 22 league? What size will the future premier league be? will there be a 1st division?
:rolleyes:
The proposal needs a 2/3s majority to pass so 15 out of the 22 would have to vote in favour.
aye and if they don't make the 16 team cut as they wouldn't currently, they're playing Junior teams...Quote:

i hope they have to put up there hands when voting, cause yes would be a very big word for the Drogs reps to write down so they would try to write down no, but it would be on and that would be one spoiled vote.
God forbid Longford could finish 17th:D
how can we finish 17th in a 10 team division ???? it will never come about
Devo will propose a vote to relegate Longford and promote Bray:D ;)
