    You don't know whether other clubs have done anything or not. I only go on what I'm told at Longford, let alone know exactly what is happening at other clubs. How do you know what other clubs are doing, or not doing as the case maybe? We don't even know exactly clubs had left to do...

    In which case you haven't a leg to stand on, given the amount of "provisional" licence drivers on the road...

    I'm glad we got the licence. I was surprised as I thought the improvements to the ground were part of the license issue.I think certain people are getting hung up on the license issue and don't want anyone else getting them.Its about football in Ireland which should be decided on the pitch and I don't see the point in 1st division clubs haven't super all seater grounds with only a couple of hundred people in them.If we qualify for Europe we could always play our home games at Turners Cross.

    Does this mean that Waterford will automatically improve their form,such was the mental and finacial strain to achieve the licence? Congrats glad to see ye pulled through,and didn't suffer on the field off play like ANOTHER club over the last few years!

    Infrastructure is only

    a fifth of what the licence is about by far the most important is financial which will end up bringing reality to players wages etc..The days of clubs spending monet they dont have are supposed to be well gone but certain clubs dont want to stop pumping resources they dont have on the fantasy of champions league football as opposed to running their clubs in a structured manner which will ensure their long term futures.


    Supporters should be asking their own clubs whats going on like the supporters at Derry and Galway do with regular forums on all issues pertaining to their club with everything transparent and above Board just like Shels !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm sorry GUFCt but that is WRONG. There are a good few clubs around Europe whose grounds dont fit the bill but will be allowed to play in alternative venues.
    Hearts from Scotland is an example - i think there pitch isnt long enough.

    Plus i heard that the Licence qualifications get harder in 2005/2006 especially in regard to financial criteria. How could accuse Shels of financial mismangement when teams like Rangers, Lazio and parma are competing in europe.
    Do you really think UEFA would let the FAI get away with falsifying the process.

    Some small countries like the Faroe islands have been exempt from the licence requirements.

    i hope not Conor but after what has happened the last week nothing would surprise me.I know Derry have sent a complete record of all correspondence and e mails to UEFA.

    Can anyone tell me why the FAI Changed the rules and procedures of the 1st instance committee by ignoring them and making the FAI's own Appeal Commitee decide on the latest tranche of licences.

    Fran Rooney has made a statement on Soccercentral, as has the Chairman of the Appeals Board. Read them and see if they do you any good..cant be bothered finding the link.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
