RTE are probably trawling our websites too for news of this?

Waterford United got theirs too.Its on the clubs official website.

Ok so no club has confirmed they failked appeal yet. Lets assume that some clubs ahve failed. What does this mean for setting fixtures for new season? Can clubs appeal an appeal?

As usual nada on FAI website.

i MIGHT be wrong, but thought i just heard on Newstalk Radio that Dublin City failed. They definitely said something about this club while talking about the license appeals

Rumours are that Kildare County, Longford Town, Dublin City and Dundalk have all failed in their bids. I don't know what that'll mean to those clubs if it's true.

Home Farm have confirmed they didn't get one according to soccercentral but unfortunately it's only because of outstanding paperwork, and it should be sorted

**pineapple stu** · 11/02/2005, 12:42 PM

Article on eleven-a-side claiming that the Premier clubs who haven't made an announcement yet - Waterford, Bohs, Longford, UCD and Rovers - have all failed. Just to clarify, this is complete nonsense and shouldn't be believed. As far as I know, UCD will get a licence; am trying to confirm this at the moment.

I'm sure i'd have a different view if was City but surely clubs can't be allowed to fail on missing paperwork indefinitely? Why can't the licening committee just make fone call to club & ask them to deliver certain documents in person?

That's a joke that they have to do that. The 3:00 press conference sounds like something the FAI just threw together after people contacting them all morning. Maybe I'm being cynical here, but...idiots!

How many appeals does a club get?

**gufct** · 11/02/2005, 12:54 PM

that only 9 clubs got licences 7 premier and 2 1st division.This makes the league AGM very interesting tomorrow lets all wait for the big fudge again which will be another nail in the coffin of el football.

This is the 2nd year that clubs have ignored the warnings but after last years fiasco I can see the FAI letting them all off the hook again.The UEFA Licence is the only way to regain any credibility for our league if it is not enforced the clubs who are guilty of reckless trading and putting their own clubs in danger of folding will be the ones who are rewarded.

Dont blame the FAI or the Licencing Committe the problems are entirely of the clubs own making.

As previously stated, Waterford have made an announcement, and have received a licence. So yes, complete nonsense.

In defence of the FAI

"official" notification was by post today, so maybe 3pm was set to ensure each clup got the letter.

We got ours I know. Agree with you that this is a club issue. The criteria are not that bad, hard work involved but we all say we want a professionally run league.

But sure the post comes at 8 or 9 in the morning! Seven hours to open a letter?! And weren't clubs informed by phone yesterday?

Meant to mention that about Waterford - cheers for pointing it out. Nice to see how hard it was for you to type the words "In defence of the FAI" though!

Edit - from the Longford forum from BreakingNews.ie - we've gotten our licence.

Are firts division clubs allowed to apply for premier licences? How do we decide who gets promoted if a premier club fails?

**gufct** · 11/02/2005, 1:05 PM

It now looks like four teams didnt get any licence Dundalk,Longford,Kildare County & Limerick and only 4 Premier Teams got Premier Licences Shels,Harps,Drogheda and one other.All the rest got 1st Division licences only allegdly.
