1= Rename it the "Eircom SuperLeague"

2= Merge Shelbourne and Bohs

3= Merge Shamrock Rovers, St Pats and UCD

4= Get rid of draws. If a game is a draw then it goes straight to penalties.

5= Bonus points. If a team scores more than 2 goals and wins then they get 4 ponts for a win.

6= Improve facilities(easier said than done)

7= Have a 10 team league with the top 2 teams at the end of the season facing off in the "SuperLeague" Final for the title.

8= So the league would basically comprise of

North Dublin Devils
South Dublin Titans
Drogheda Drogs
Crok City Giants
Galway City Tigers
Derry City Dynamos
Waterford Wildmen
Longford Longers
Kerry Mounties
Sligo Westeners

You may laugh but i honestly think is is the way to market the league

are you american by any chance?

Good Idea but your names are all wrong. Should be as follows:
Dublin Bohemians (North)

Dublin Mocaccinos (South)
Drogheda Hezbollah (Go well with the star and cresent, if this is deemed offensive then maybe Drogheda Kebabs)
Cork City Boyos
Galway City Stoners
Londonderry Lancers
Waterford Wilderbeast
Longford Loungelizards
Kerry McFadden
Sligo Westlife

I like Londonderry Lancers!

And award a point for every time the ball goes over the bar.
And for argument sake, make three points equivalent to one goal.
And give each player a piece of wood.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha,.... ouch!

It is good to see that dublin based eL supporters realising that while Dublin may have large population it cannot sustain 4 or 5 teams. Moving to 2 teams seems best too as dublin spilt on north-south basis anyway.

Alos not surprised that some other dublin eL fans have heads in the sand & fail to realise crowds cannot sustain their clubs.

Thank you for your permission.

In your defence, you've put more thought into this than the Genesis Report did.

Total agreement. When Shels Fold that wil leave us as the northside club. Let the others then merge. Two clubs. Beautiful.

How smug can you get? Can anybody better this member? Ffs....

Question for Bohs,Pats,Shels and Rovers fans,if your club were to merge with one of the others would you keep supporting that team?

**alabama rover** · 30/07/2006, 7:44 PM

Sure. As long as it wasn't Bohs..... Oh..... and as long as the resulting team wore green and White hoops and was called Shamrock Rovers!...... What do you think?!

My answer would be the same as yours,the point i was making was really just pointing out to Pete that 4 big teams in Dublin fighting for a small number of fans is better than 2 teams in Dublin with no fans!!

Fair enough! cause you're right! Seems to me this entire thread is a wind up that is being addressed with a little too much credibility.
