    Will name of league change with re-launch?

    The Eircom League can hardly be re-launched as the Eircom League can it? What do you think it will be called? My bet is on the Irish Premier League sponsored by Eircom or something rubbish like that.

    I don't think there'll be a change unless Eircom wants one. They're paying, so it'll be their call. And if I was them I'd want it to remain the Eircom league. Why does it have to change ?

    Also - football leagues now have sponsor names integral to their title - e.g. Barcays Premiership, Carnegie Premier league - not secondary as in "..sponsored by Eircom". There's therefore very few alternatives to 'Eircom League' available.

    How about "The Eircom Irish Premier Division Superleague incorporating Derry City"
    The sports team from my area is superior to the sports team from your area.

    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
