If they can even manage to maintain the interest of 32 clubs, a 16 team North/South split would be ideal.

Good luck with it all. Don't let the FAI and Tipperary downErrr… despite me not being a football club in Tipperary… thanks I guess?
Anyone know if there's a Mullingar club among the applicants ?

You just have to search social media to get names of clubs Limerick City, St.Francis and Peake Villa have already been announced!
You could list out a number of progressive Junior League clubs from around the country that are interested. I reckon the FAI will not be surprised by the numbers of interest.
I think that football is moving in the right direction and the popularity has always been growing. Clubs will look at the new third tier National League as a stepping stone for future League progression for their club.
They're going to be groundsharing with us. Their rent will fix the wall that was blown down.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Genuinely thought of this yesterday and had a good chuckle to myself.

See this is the problem with clubs like you. No commitment. Unlikely to stay the distance. Pulling out already.Errr… despite me not being a football club in Tipperary… thanks I guess?
If there's 67 applied, you'd have to think that every hole in the hedge acoss the country has put their name down!
67 is crazy. I'd say there wasn't a soul alive who thought it'd be anything like that number. There were plenty on here thought they'd struggle to even reach the 20.
Can't wait until a journalist gets their hands on the full list and we get to see all who's in there. You can be sure there'll be a few genuinely wacky ones in a long list of 67.
Interesting to hear that Peake (don't forget the second 'e') Villa have applied. Am I right in thinking that they're no longer in Dualla, and moved into Thurles town a few years back? They'll always struggle with a name like 'Peake Villa' IMO, so only a matter of time before history repeats itself and they rebrand as Thurles Town or something instead.
Pretty sure St. Michaels from Tipp Town also were confirmed to have applied.
If it is 67 teams, you would guess nearly every team who you could have imagined has applied.
Be interesting to see the criteria in how they filter the clubs.
67??? Well LoI is now not just cool its sh1t hot! That sort of number gives some real scope to go beyond a 3rd tier and develop a merit based national system that could feed in to the senior game (Im avoiding using pyramid!). Not sure you'd want to have those not included in the third tier to be used to create an additional tier but the leagues that they play in could be canvassed to see if they could feed in. Is it workable that if every side didnt want to be considered for promotion that the next ranked side(s) that do could be in a play-off?
Be interesting to see how/if that undermines the MSL/LSL in particular (given there is no CSL/USL)
If there's that much solid interest, that in itself could push those leagues towards a proper pyramid as a de facto third tier.
