AIL:Will it happen?

Now your taking the ****, just because less opposition fans travel to that kip you call a ground, where its always freezing, the stand always looks ready to collapse, the football is crap on a tiny pitch where no one ever produces decent football.

A source with some inside knowledge told me that Platimum One are planning to guarantee a 15% improvement in the weather for the first 3 years of any new league.

very good.

It refers to the Participation Agreement signed in 2007, which binds the clubs for five years. I assume those involved in the Platnium One are in discussions with legal sources as to how clubs can get out of this agreement.

all clubs must sign up to this every year before been admitted to the league.so if you any club has applied for a licence they have committed to play in the eorcom league for the coming season.

I read it differently It says it will not run in the lifetime of the particapation agreement and only then if all the planets are aligned and they will run it ,maybe im wrong

How long have been following LOI, out of curiousity ?

First game was the 1991 Cup Final. Went to a handful of games over the next few years before starting to go regularly in around 97.

Your basis for your "This time it'll be different" argument appear fairly similar to what we've heard before. Kind of like Homer Simpson trying to eat the crisps and the puppies always eating them.

By the way I would find it very hard to argue with your deduction that we got big crowds that year because we were 'having success'.

How do you know for a fact? Were official crowds announced? Do you not think that maybe winning three trophies in one season counts as success?

Even when the weather IS good there (the very odd time with summer football), the Nazi's you call stewards force you into the stand so it actually looks like there are people there.

Yes - I win.

Moron.

I suspect that the participation agreement would be one of the easiest potential hurdles to overcome. It won't require any legal loopholes, as it's more of a bargaining tool than an obstacle.

Of course the FAI will use the agreement to ensure they have more of a say in the process, and to try and get a bit more cash, but that's expected. Once they're happy with the details they'd have no problem releasing the clubs to play.

Enough stu, you've crushed me, I can't win - even when I agree with you
