The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Even if the government had the slightest interest in helping the league out - which they don't - there wouldn't be an ounce of public sympathy for bailing out a league that most of the country at best ignore, and at worse look down on, that has got into trouble not through any change in market conditions or due to the credit crunch - but purely and solely because it can't run itself anything close to sensibly.
I wouldn't even support a government bail out for an industry like that.

No, I quoted you word for word. There's no club in this league beating customers away with a stick. There's no club in this league "trying to keep up with a thriving demand".
I agree with Pineapple Stu, youre talking DUNG "AFACE"....
And as for your Celdrog, I am right behind you kid as every genuine fan is also that the Drogs come out and I for one "BELIEVE" they will as well as keep their Premier Division status!

To which i said .... Exactly and then supporting the notion that they couldn't give a toss about the leagueOriginally Posted by John83
I would be too, but i hope your not confusing the debate of Drogs owning or not owning their ground (how many posts was there on it?) with me wishing Drogs well in court/examinership/licensing/etc. .... especially since what our club has gone through recently. Dont even try and presume that i wouldn't wish them well.

I know, i should have read over it before posting, i'll always doing it though
I would have thought so as well but we're wrong apparently. A few businesses that need to expand with demand cant because the cant secure funds from banks or government.I don't think any business in the country is struggling to meet thriving demand either, mind.

What is an SME?
Aon, dó, trí, bhí mé i mo luí, thit mé den leaba, he! he! he!
Kinda like Finn Harps so![]()
I agree, because the government and the public have, historically, every right to pour nothing but bottomless scorn on the LoI. How about LoI clubs deciding to run themselves efficiently and then looking for financial support in order to progress once they have realistic and attainable development plans? Surely that's not too much to ask?
It's at least a more dignified form of begging.
Untrue to say that no one complained about Monaghans pitch in the past, Gareth Cronin certainly did last season. Back on topic though Oriel would be the obvious place for DUFC to rent, how their fans would take to playing in a "bouncy castle" would be interesting. Would Morton Stadium not be more accessible to DUFC? Possibly closer as well than Oriel.
I think you'll find the closest ground for us to play in next season is United Park. All will revealed in the next few days ............
Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week
