Why should they approach the FAI with anything ?
Its the FAI who run our football in this country not the clubs & its FAI's job to come up with the plan.
BUT the plan must be inclusive & include everyone.
The fact that Rovers or any other club approached the FAI should have nothing to do with it.
If the FAI thought the idea had merit, then they should have run with it & expanded the idea to include all Premier clubs.
Instead we have this secrecy behind closed doors discussion with a club which once it got out was bound to cause anger among other clubs & their fans.
I'm asked a question to which I've not yet received an answer.
"Why all the secrecy ?"
Maybe one of our brave investigative reporters

can find an answer to the question because the FAI have remained very silent on the matter despite requests for information.
Why not come straight out & give every Premier club the option to enter a Reserve / B team in the 1st Division ?
Then if one or two take it up,no problem as they were all given the same opportunity.
The whole situation just has a very bad smell to it.
