Imo sometimes a break from football is a good thing for everyone including clubs and society. I do the stats part of our website and I know that in 1972 we were kicked out of the LSL and not only that we didnt have a home as we were evicted from the Greyhound track and were homeless.
The following year we didnt play football at all and eventually in 1974 we had to restart over again and started in the Leinster Junior League and started all over again and at a temporary ground and then eventually worked our way up.
It proved a turning point in our history. I for one dont mind the break one bit. Fair enough the club will be out of money but they have season ticket sales to live on but at least they wont have to pay for Gardai,insurance, etc.
I think we are better off writing the season completely if things dont move the way of the FAI by year end. Maybe we can do the winter football next year.
Look at what happened to Derry City out of senior football for 13 long years and had to go down the leagues. Cork didnt have a loi team for two years. Limerick can get their house in order and get back in football next year.
Allow this time to investigate the possibilities of an all island league and see if its feasible. That would be my priority imo. Other people may not agree with me but thats the way I would approach it.
Maybe a break from the football is better for all. More important things to worry about.
