I think shannon town should start in 1st division and will be up near the top come end of season..They will need to get all there good young players back from clubs like newmarket and bridge though if they want to challenge for honours in clare..
Can only be good for football in clare if town have 20 teams that must be close to 300 players..

...
lots of rumours every year with hibs ... the old newtown reforming starting again. plenty of problems above at riverside and not easy to solve , why are town not going into div 3 as a new club ?
and if such a great club why are all their good young players out in Newmarket / bridge .. but do agree it is good for football in clare

cant comment as nothing to do with clare soccer

was not at the game but heard ref abandoned game with hibs 2-1 up twenty mins to go hibs player sent off and allegedly threatened ref ... looking at long ban if true and if league get bad report from ref and hibs will probally lose points now as well

Old git thanks for pm .. but in all fairness he probably told you that in the lodge and also what does he know about junior football.. He is an underage manager as far as I know so wouldn't know too much about junior in clare. Shannon town will start at best in division 1.

Best players at u16 and u18 level leaving both shannon teams because they will get a chance at playing for clare youths. The limk league don't reconise the clare players unfortunately

Its amazing how much hypothetical chat about Shannon football gets posted on here. Maybe ye're trying to deflect from Newmarket's win yesterday

Congrats to Newmarket anyway. Brilliant to win away from home like that and hopefully they can go all the way now. Any reports on the game?

Ha. It was just one of those days. Shocking defending from both teams and some decent finishing.

Super result for newmarket celtic .and great news that shannon town entering clare league. They will win that division and make premier more competitive Imo

**Two Feet Up** · 16/03/2015, 2:29 PM

great result for Newmarket yesterday.

wonder why Shannon town are considering re-entering the clare league are so many years away? any falling out with LDMC or refs or something else??

**Shuffleruns** · 16/03/2015, 3:05 PM

Shannon town joining oscar traynor team, done deal.

**Rider Cups** · 17/03/2015, 9:42 PM

How many junior sides do Shannon town have , and again why not put their 1st team straight into premier ?

**0030** · 18/03/2015, 6:19 AM

You cant just put a team from a new league straight into the Premier. Totally unfair to the teams in this years First Division. If Shannon Town do return to the Clare League you could make an argument for them having to start in the Third Division and work their way up. I don't think that's right either but it makes more sense than them getting a bye directly to the Premier. I'm sure the FAI has rules on this anyway

**Rider Cups** · 18/03/2015, 4:08 PM

It's a tricky one, 3rd div should be the place but that would seem unfair on everyone involved , but you already have a situation in the 1st div where Avenue seem to be the strongest side and will be stuck there again next season and now you want to put a side that would be something of the standard of Bridge utd A or Shannon Olympic in there as well , hardly seems fair on the other 1st division teams.

i would not be too sure on that if he could not sort out a decent squad for Shannon town this season

Lads can i just make a comment that RR unfortunatly took a turn and closed shop for a couple of seasons , on their return started in the 3rd division which was fair enough , i cannot understandall the talk that a club like ST can jump in to the 1st division -
if they plan on building then they have to start at the bottom , the foundation - otherwise , IMO, you are a club without substance .
And who's to say they are good enough !!!!!!!

Well you could say that when RR reformed that they were essentially a new club coming into the league as they didn't exist for a few years so it's only Natural they start in the 3rd division. Shannon town are an existing club that are playing in the 2nd tier of limerick football which would in most people's opinion be stronger than the 1st division in clare socce. So I think it's only fair they start in the equivalent division to what they are playing in limerick
