As we continue the build-up to the start of the SSE Airtricity League season, we caught up with Ciaran medlar, newly appointed chair at defending champions Shamrock Rovers for his views on the season ahead, the bonus of Europe, the impact of Covid and much more…
“Europe is hugely important. There are limitations on what we can generate in the domestic competition. If you can get into Europe year after year, that is clearly the aim.”
“To qualify for the group stages would be a game-changer.”
“This is the best week of the season with everybody excited. There is a huge interest in the League of Ireland. There was a great start to last year and we want to get the momentum going.”
“In your own survey from this week, you listed the Twitter followers of the ten clubs and they come to more than 250,000.”
“We want to keep more fans at home rather than travelling out of Dublin Airport on a Saturday morning.”
We also chat about the decision-making process behind the new shirt front sponsor 888 coming on board.
