Time for a new thread.
It is club licensing time and Bray Wanderers are applying for their licence to be issued in February.
Question to discuss here are:
Should Bray Wanderers be awarded a licence.
Can Bray Wanderers comply with all the FAI and UFEA requirements.

1.3. Legal Basis
2. Procedure

10.12 No payables overdue towards football clubs, the FAI or bodies affiliated to the FAI- Enhanced
10.13 No payables overdue towards employees and Revenue/ social/ tax authorities - Enhanced
That is an exhausting list and it is not something that is easy to put together.
A lot of expert work and input is needed to get a licence.
Over the next few weeks we hope to follow this application process closely and try to keep all you avid readers and fans updated on progress.
Of course we won't have access to what the club is actually putting into its application, that is confidential, but we certainly can have some input and discussion here in order to give fans a look at the process.
Let the questions begin.
More soon.

Sure they had good staff helping them in those days, but those people have walked away or were removed for speaking out, it will be interesting to see who does the job this year.That's why i tip my lad to the lads on working so hard each year behind the scenes on securing a Premier Licence, what it is now? 6/7 years in a row now we've got i...

Its that easy, when you have f*** all else to help!
Great to see Bray getting the licence yet again this year. Great work by those involved led by Jack O Neill the "heart" of the Club.Im sure Devo,Coxy and Slevin also had a part to play.As somebody said a lot of work was needed to achieve the licence so a massive thank you from a supporter who is thrilled to see Premier League Foootball in Bray for what is it? the tenth season in a row. Yippee and thumbs down to the begrugers .
