    Question What has your club done to get UEFA licence this season?

    Most obvious things would be infrastructure so has any club actually made upgrades this season?

    It passed due to their solid plans for a new ground
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    There is little point in spending money in upgrading Finn Park 1 when we are about to build Finn Park 2.Not that hard to understand really!

    Things seem to be moving for Limerick at last. Buying out the ground and getting 1800 people to their first home game against Monaghan!If ye get things right on the pitch it could be interesting times ahead!BTW When does Dolan start?

    Plans seem to have been be acceptable for infrastructure for this year's Premier Licence, should Harps get into Europe they'll have to switch no doubt, to Derry I suppose.

    Well, AFAIK, we didnt really have to do much to Flansiro to get the licence, it was mainly "behind the scenes" sorta stuff. The real man in the know is Longfordian though

    We made all the necessary upgrades last July before the UEFA match..spent over €300,000 on the ground for that game which didnt come easy let me tell ya. Had to screde (sp) all the concrete around two sides of the ground meaning all the seats had to be taken out and put in again, build and kit out a drug testing room and medical room,construct a disabled bay and a control tower. The car park is being resurfaced this week. So to sum up, quite a bit was done on infrastructure.

    There was a delay getting a tax clearance cert but it got sorted with a bit of work behind the scenes.

    I think we would rather play in Ibrox with razorblades as boots! Anyway it won't be a problem for a while!

    I wasn't having a dig at Harps at all. I do accept that Harps have probably the most solid of new ground proposals in the league.

    Don't know much about Drogs new stadium plans but doesn't sound very concrete

    Limericks new ground plans sound like just an aspiration.

    Does anyone know what extra requirement for Uefa licence over Premier one are?

    Last seasons Premier license was also a UEFA license. This requirements for this years Premier License have been relaxed due to so many clubs struggling to achieve the requirements last season, creating the new "higher" category of UEFA license.

    The detailed requirements are in the licensing manual infrastructure section, I'm sure someone will post a link to it.

    Interestingly someone on another thread posted that there is a new requirement that you can't sell your old ground until the new one is two thirds complete. Has anyone any idea who or where this came from? If this is true it would require clubs to secure pretty substantial bridging loans to fund construction before the old ground is sold. This is the model Harps and Shels are working on.
