    How do Salthill actually pay the bills? It can't be on gates surely. Do they just bleed their playing members dry with subscriptions? Have they someone backing them?

    They have a bunch of astro pitches that they rent out and must do very well from. Maybe the UMBRO cup makes them money too, not sure.

    The Astro cages must make a few bob for Salthill and I say most of Mervue's revenue come for their ones as well. I read here that Monaghan Utd were the same. However in Galway city a number of a new astro pitches have open in the last few years, which may reduce the income of the two LoI teams. Salthill this year will save on the rent of Terryland and maybe their attendance will remain the same if Harps and Atlone have a good season. Also as long as there are enough parents are willing to pay for their childs dream of playing for one of the leading english premier league clubs (however unrealistic) these clubs should always have enough membership fees to keep going.

    Is anyone out going to think "I'll go to a game seeing as the clubs are generally making a profit." There has to be a better angle.
    It's the best way to promote the FAI. That's all that matters. Have a launch, slap themselves on the back for "sorting out" the league. Forget about it for another year.
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    Are any club playing in Terryland. I think it's a disgrace that GUST have not been brought back into the league of ireland. The FAI should show them the support they did when LoI soccer was under threat in Limerick and the eagerness they expressed to keep Cork and Derry in the league after they were demoted.

    A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
    Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.

    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    They aren't all available. I'd say only about half of them are. There's partnerships and exemptions from filing based on non-profit status and college clubs, for example.

    Also, they don't have to be filed until as late as this October.
