Survey on how LOI football should return

Not paying a cent to teams who had several times our budget and failed to spend their way to the top. We've earned our euro money by living within our means. 

The money will always be found for the national team. 

This isn't a serious proposal. The FAI will get the league restarted, as time goes on UEFA will be looking at the situation and we'll get into the question  again of whether we should be allowed to field a national team without a functioning league. They tried to dump the league before and realised that UEFA won't let them do it without sacrificing their cash cow national side. The money will eventually turn up from the Mick and Robbie fund. What's happening now is they're trying to paint a picture of a poor damsel in distress league, in the hope that someone in Leinster House will pick up the tab. 

Just continuing on from where it was left and only playing 2 rounds, so only 13 games is a bit crap. Really should have tried and had 3 rounds and a proper season or at least come back and play 2 full rounds.

But at least it's a plan but should not have taken this long, Euro clubs will get some games before the Euro campaign.

League finished in Oct 2019.

3 1/2 month break to the new season.

4 1/2 month break for covid 19

back for 3-4 months to finish season before another long break

Seems like a write off of a year

Can't see many of the non-European team getting much of a squad together. They won't have the cash without crowds. Probably better off leaving the players on unemployment payments and going part time.

Crowds of 500 allowed outdoors from 1 August so there should be crowds allowed in. Shels CEO said we've sold approx 500 season tickets so they could be allowed in depending on government advice

This could get tricky. Probably gonna be 400ish fans by the time players, management, stewards, medical staff, sponsors, etc are catered for first. 

Are season ticket holders more deserving that fans who pay full whack every home game. I know lads who pay every game and have been doing that for years. 

We have about 600 season ticket holders, so probably have to do a draw for each game if its limited numbers in. 

The main concern for clubs that only let in season ticket holders is that a club are not getting any gate receipts because they have paid their money already. And the gate receipts could be the difference between breaking even or making a big loss this season. 

Its a balls.
