Promotion from the A Championship

was at the merve v mon game last week and mons had seven of there first team out so put in a few under 20s and a couple of under 18s was expecting a tough game but was surprised at how poor merve was. I cant see them winning any more games

Hopefully we can catch Mervue anyway, we look like we're improving as the season goes on so if we could get a few more points out of our last few games and avoid a play-off I would be delighted. If we dont beat Mervue though I would imagine thats our chances gone.

so is Longford town sunny jim.. If things dont pick up FAST Kildare Co will deservedly finish ahead of us..

So either Dundalk or Drogheda Utd should be kicked out?

Drogheda could always reinstate their plans to move to Co Meath!

I can't see Mervue pulling out anyway. If they retain their status, I'd expect them to play in the LOI First Division 2010. They are pressing ahead with plans to develop Fahy's Field into a stadium that is LOI standard requirement

No, sure he said with the exception of Dublin clubs.

well said HS.

Dublin is civilised.

Salthill will accept a place in the First if they defeat Kildare in the play offs.
Not sure galway will like it, seeing as they are the main promoter of the 16 team league?

Put it this way, we're not going to survive on goal difference !!!!

At the moment there is 14 goals difference between the two clubs, every goal we score against them counts as double and any week we win and they lose we will make up at least 2 goals as well. We have lost very few games since Joey came in by more than 1 goal as well, I don't think goal difference is that much of a reach, although I wouldn't want to rely on it

I heard that rumour a few weeks back too.. I would say that theres a resemblence of truth in the rumour.. that promise could have come from a sponsor..

The difference in prize money between finishing bottom and finishing second from bottom is 250 euro I think. Maybe they are going to split that and give each player a tenner or so, that is if that 250 isn't spent already.
