| Does the creation of these new clubs reflect an unhappiness with the current clubs covering the City or is it just that dublin is growing population wise so there's always room for more clubs? |

Most populous area, nothing more. Another club based out of Dublin is the last thing the league needs. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Reports are that they have been granted a license I know they have made contact with a ddsl club with a view to be their academy base. An agreement in principle has been made ------------- PM me for all forum moderation queries. |

Nothing surprises me anymore with football in this country tbh. We were informed last night that we won't be allowed to run trials for the upcoming LOI underage season, so I've been left to pick a panel of 20 players even though I've never seen most of them play before. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

The owners, whole plan is to sell players on at a profit. North Dublin I guess, looks like they'll play in Santry. Don't think they're too concerned about getting fans in. @BSM, they have the licence but whether they'll be asked to join the league is another story

You see the thing is every club isn't in the same position (to a point) , a lot of clubs had u13 teams last year so they didn't need to sign too many players in the off season. We didn't have an u13 team last year so we have to start from scratch with zero opportunities to have trials, makes no sense. Oh and I do agree with you, every level of underage football needs to come back whether that's in Roscommon, Wexford, DDSL or the LOI. It's not fair that elite youth level would be allowed back and schoolboys leagues around the country wouldn't be. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Yeah Morton Stadium will be their base and they’ll have no interest in fans.

Would much prefer to see one of the Limerick clubs back. You could argue a North County Dublin or West County Dublin could cover a populated area but it sounds like this would be purely plugged in as a money making exercise. Club will be out of business in about 5 years time! |

Yeah, talk this morning that only Treaty will be invited. Knowing the fai they'll go for all three, including Rovers. Will be a wildly unpopular decision.

In the south-east there is real momentum/talk about this potential new club in Wexford gathering pace in the next year or two. If the FAI show genuine interest in growing the game outside of the Dublin and help regional clubs in their pursuit of becoming LOI clubs at senior level in the coming years we could well see Kerry, Carlow/Kilkenny, Mayo and Cavan/Monaghan all having men's teams in the top two divisions. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

It was always inevitable that a club with the history, tradition and support of Sporting Fingal would pop back up in reincarnated form Or is it Dublin City I know nothing about this new zombie club, but I imagine they have a high powered team of marketers and strategists whose master plan is that by calling themselves "Dublin" and playing in sky blue shirts and navy shorts with a crest incorporating three castles, they will create an irresistible PRODUCT to the Dublin sporting public, at least when crowds eventually return in 2033 ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

This is what’s needed for the game to grow throughout the country. I know Carlow/Kilkenny are planning my on applying for a license in the next few years. Tax the bookies and share the money out to all clubs to spend on facilities.

Very likely seeing as they won't be able to play any games in the LSL for the foreseeable. Which is similar to what's happened with clubs in the IL signing LSL players IIRC? ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

| I’d much rather see Rovers 2nd team in the first division than Dublin county. There’s a massive gap to be filled between senior and u19 football in this country at the minute. Does it give Rovers an extra advantage? Yes but if it means players like Kevin Zefi and others can develop in this country then brilliant. If other clubs like Dundalk were able to enter a second team it would give younger players more of an opportunity especially with the Brexit rules coming into place player development in Ireland needs to be seriously improved. |

In all seriousness, this is a joke. The league needs improved stadia, general facilities and infrastructure for underage player development. What is Dublin County bringing to the table? ------------- El Puto Amo |

Assuming it's Morton Stadium, it's an awful place to watch a LSL game, never mind a LoI game. Not fit for purpose for football matches. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

If their plans are to get players in and sell them on and if the manager is Ukrainian, I would take a punt it's getting young players from that region. Pure speculation based on nothing  ------------- It would damage this forums' reputation |

Saw on twitter they are calling themselves Irish Sea FC and wanting to apply for 1st division license. Board decision already taken to have a 9 team division next year ahead of a third tier the following year. This crowd don't have any support or stadium. Just investors. Also saying they are looking to have the club outside Dublin now. Everything just sounds like it would be a basket case club

It’ll be the 3rd division in 23/24 if these lads ever field a team. A poster on here did a little bit of work for them this time last year when they were working on the licensing
