Because of the Limerick Situation and now the Shels Situation we could end up waiting forever for them.Kick Off is a month on friday and were all still in the dark.

Shels have to be sorted before this weekend full stop.

Not necessarily.

We know now that Wexford are in and that Limerick37 are more than likely going to be in. So produce the league fixtures now, and if Shels are relegated and Waterford promoted in the coming weeks, just change their respective fixtures. Clubs should be aware of the fact that it's a distinct possibility, so can be careful if they're planning any travel or accommodation that far ahead.

Ah but your suggestion has something that is lacking amongst the powers that be: common sense.

Crazy Talk. Where's the fun in planning ahead

The important thing is to schedule plenty of league games when teams are in European competition and then cancel them at the last minute. Don't forget that there was still fixture confusion last season right up until the final week of the season

so there's still plenty of time for things to work themselves out...

You can't devise a season's fixture list subject to if's, buts and maybe's. The teams in the league must be decided before the list can be drawn up. And that goes from U-10's right up to senior football. Until the Shels-Waterford situation is sorted out, there can be no fixture list created. And it's not likely to be drawn up anytime soon. The start of the season may have to be delayed.
