You could possibly have a selection of teams in the Third Tier like the following,

    Klub Kildare based in Station Road Stadium, Newbridge,
    CK United based in Buckley Park, Kilkenny,
    Mayo FC, based in Celtic Park, Castlebar,
    Meath FC based in the MDL Grounds, Trim.
    The MDL Grounds are just outside of Navan.

    Navan/Trim, same difference it seems. Maybe Meath FC should rotate their home ground, and not forget Kells, Athboy and Dunsaughlin.....

    Villa FC in Waterford have received positive feedback in terms of their prospects of taking part in a third level of Irish football.

    Agree on Mayo, but Salthill is a terrible place to watch football.

    Is it just me or is 'CK United' a terrible name?

    Ya and they play on the astro. I've never played on their astro, it's quite new, but their grass pitches are absolutely superb. Top class training ground but no spectator facilities. The roads around there are barely wide enough for two cars, it's quite rural. I'm not sure renting out Terryland for games would be sustainable for them though.

    Youd have to think that it is a trademarked name or brand so if they come to prominance they may have to change it.

    Nah, it probably comes from this local newspaper that said Buncrana Hearts had expressed an interest: https://donegalnews.com/buncrana-hea...oi-third-tier/

    But if Nigel says they're not entering, I'd sooner believe him!

    Disappointed to see there that Buncrana Hearts play in blue.

    Sounds like he met one of the players in a pub who said "be great gas to play in LOI" and went with it from there
