As we build up to the start of the 2021 SSE Airtricity League season we are dropping in on a number of key players in the league for their thoughts and views on what the season ahead will hold.

This morning we were joined by Conor Hoey, Chair of Drogheda United and a man who grew up in the sport as his Dad Vincent was so closely associated with the club.

After promotion last season, he feels they are back where they belong.

In our conversation we covered:

The challenge of forging commercial partnerships in a time of Covid.

The timelines associated with securing a front of shirt sponsor eight months ahead of the start of a new season.

How local businesses have dug deep when needed

A new approach from the FAI

The prospect of a new stadium

Thoughts on an All Island League

and more…
