With Galway FC replacing Salthill & Mervue, & Wexford youths problems is very hard to look past a 18 team premier div next season.

Whats the alternative? a 6 team first div?Originally Posted by bluewhitearmy
A 12 team first division with a 6 team premier division, separate the men from the boys.
Here on a technicality.
I never said i had one and i never said it shouldn't happen we have no other choice imo but that doesn't mean its not a disaster. Id hope something else could be sorted tbh but can only see things getting worse.
The Galway lads aren't even back in the league yet and they're trying to wangle an off field promotion.
It looks like the league is going that direction alright. It'll be a big step up for clubs near the bottom of the first division. With no relegation, will they most likely be happy to trudge along and enjoy the relatively big pay days when the big guns come to town?

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.
I wondered how long it would take.
Galway has neither a team or a CLUB and already they are plying to get playing in the premier division
I have scattered my dreams underneath your feet, tread carefully, cos it's my dreams you walk on.
Gust have voted twice and on both occasions have rejected the current gfc format.
Everytime I come on here it gets more confusing.
Some Galway fans saying Galway FC to replace Salthill and Mervue, some saying it has been rejected by GUST and some saying which or whether there will be no Salthill or Mervue in the league next season.
Which is it?
edit: I just looked at the First Division expressions of interest thread, surely this thread could be merged as it seems to be talking about the same thing.

Gfc will replace the other two however gust and its members are not on board.
Two gusty management committee members ARE on board.

Like what way did the gust votes breakdown??
If it was like 20 for, 480 against I could see a hassle but if the vote is like 249 for 251 against then gust can whistle in the wind.
Its not like its a trade union where the members are bound by the vote
Just realised far too many likes in this post like
There are a few hardline gusties who are against getting involved with GFC, with these guys it's a ego trip and make the most noise. They are probably the most mentally unstable ones too. Most are willing to give it a go in the hope that the franchise will become a co-op. But the FAI have said there will be no other club coming out of Galway for at least 5 years so it's not like there is many options.
If this Galway FC idea actually comes to pass, will this be the first time in Irish football history that two or more clubs have cooperated with one another on anything more substantial than kick-off times?
what is the problem with wexford youths? is it cos of Mick Wallaces well documented fin probs??
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
There was a vote not once but twice and gust have rejected the current terms. How can the majority be on an ego trip and mentally unstable? You would be better keeping your own ego and mentally unstable ideas in check.
There are 2 gust board members on gfc as negotiations are ongoing.
Why are we having this conversation in yet another thread?

Saw somewhere over the weekend that the holding company of Ferrycarrig park had gone into receivership.
We need as many threads about Galway as there are teams potentially in Galway.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
