Hi,
Since several years I´m following the LOI quite closely with almost every season visiting several matches.
Getting information about it here in Holland is really hard and especially since last season as there seem to have happend so many things...
So, some of my main questions are:
- What happened to Derry City and what's going to happen to them? For example, where do they play next season?
They were thrown out for operating dual contracts with players, ie non declaring of wages, there may be a newly formed club from Derry perating in either the 1st division or A league but nothing confirmed yet
- Same for Cork City?
They are in limbo with massive finacial problems, the owner has been charged with bringing the game into disrepute, they need to find c€300k before the end of the month to pay old debts if they are to have any chance of geting a license to play for next season
- Same for Kildare County?
Gone into liquidation - will not be back
- Which teams will form the Premier -, First Division and A Championship next season?
Very unclear at the moment
- Will there be three Galway teams in the league next season, and if so, at which venues are they going play?
Possibly Mervue and Salthill Devon
- Will the Setanta Cup go on as planned?
Unlikely as Linfield have pulled out
- Finally, a bit offtopic, when will the first match at the new Aviva stadium be played?
11th August V Argentina is the first soccer match and the first rugby match is currently 7th August between a Leinster / Ulster selection and a Munster / Conaught Selection
Anyone who can give me some answers on these questions in a nutshell?
Excuse my ignorance and thanks in advance
