If you've to drop out of the league this season, you're ceasing to exist imo, I'm well aware there'll be a similar entity, possibly even with the same name though. But its alot different from Drogs just having to slash the wage bill, and Shels just getting relegated.

Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
There's a lot more to a football club than a senior team. Our senior team not playing football for the rest of the season, is by no means the end of our club.
Of course its different.
Its not much different from when this happened to us in 1995 though. The holding company was wound up. The only difference this time is the licensing laws.
A premier license does not a football club make, and lack of one won't kill us either.
Fair enough I suppose, but I'm sure you still get my point on how different it is to the other situations, and how it might be much quicker to ring alarm bells.

Some say he has an airport in Russia named after him, and that he's terrified of ducks.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Honestly, I dont know that it will, but I hope it does
It's Intermediate level at best - not senior.
It dosent matter what level the teams are at its recognised by the FAI as being part of the league.
It may be the third tier - but that doesn't make it league/senior.
Just like the Conference/Blue Square Premier is the 5th tier in England, but is still non-league.
If the A league was league-proper, then it wouldn't have U21 teams from senior clubs in there compulsorily. It would also just be be called the Second division, rather than A Championship.
Demoted. Not relegated
They always cheat, they always lie
**** Delaney and the FAI
The point being made is Cork still have a league of ireland side in the county.
The A Championship is part of the league of ireland otherwise teams couldnt be promoted to the league of ireland first division they would have to be elected into it.
When the English national conference started out it was non-league because no team that won it originally would be promoted to the 4th tier of english football. I think thats where it picked up the non-league tag.
Thats changed now and teams in the blue square can be promoted to the 4th tier. Therefore I would consider that part of the English national league and the teams in it to be league sides. I dont know if the Blue Square could technically be considered non-league I think it just never lost that tag.
There's a football pyramid in England whereby you get promoted all the way up so in effect you'd have to go down about nine or ten tiers before you'd get to non-league by that definition.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
You'd have to go below county level for example. In which case the English league would have a few thousand clubs. Instead - they always talk about the 92 league clubs.
Non league is short-hand for 'senior', and the A League ain't senior fotball.
Non-league is the Conference; going down as far as you note (level 11 or so) is leaving senior football and going into intermediate football.
Any chance of getting back on topic????????

Cheers lads
What's the story? Do Cork have the money? All this "we're saved" talk is going to look fairly ridiculous otherwise.
