We only managed 2 points out of 9 vs Sligo this season, and they have won the league in 2012 and three cups in the last 6 years, we really cant say much.

North Wicklow and south Dublin are major population centres so if the club can tap into that a bit more we'll hopefully see more numbers again with a bigger core base of fans, wouldn't mind seeing us rebrand as Wicklow Wanderers to see if it helps at all. I know from Harps, they draw support form all over Donegal which there's no way they would if they were Ballybofey Harps as they had considered calling themselves.


Was there not plans to redevelop the Carlisle Grounds?

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Paul Lennon had seen this thread and wrote that piece based on it.

It would be more of a source than most of the tripe he writes.

There is no promotion/relegation in that structure. I'm fairly sure Fifa don't let you do that ,

That media speculation is similar to my idea but not the same. It looks like a compromise, and it allows Cork play against Dublin teams without advancing to another stage.

As far as I can tell, it would look like this:


teams in each conference play only teams in their own conference once, i.e. 9 games

NORTHERN CONFERENCE
Dundalk
Derry City
Sligo Rovers
Bohemians
Galway United
Finn Harps
Drogheda United
Longford
Shelbourne
Athlone


SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
Cork City
Shamrock Rovers
St Patrick's Athletic
Bray Wanderers
Limerick
Wexford Youths
Cobh Ramblers
UCD
Waterford United
Cabinteely


Top 5 teams in each conference advance  to a league where they play each other twice, i.e. 18 games.

FINAL LEAGUE
Dundalk
Derry City
Sligo Rovers
Bohemians
Galway United
Cork City
Shamrock Rovers
St Patrick's Athletic
Bray Wanderers
Limerick



That'd be 27 games for the best teams in the country.

The teams that failed to advance play in some kind of FAI Shield.

Embarrassing all round really.
"The lowest attended game was Athlone Town’s August encounter with Cabinteely which we estimated 100 people attended."

If every player attracted 5 people (friend and family) it would come to 100 people Ouch

2,025 paid into Athlone all league season. That is €20,000 in gate. How do you even begin to run a club on that basis.

midweek fixtures need to be scrapped full stop with the exception of bank holiday mondays, the fai looked to cash in last good friday using the bars at the aviva as an excuse to bump the attendance, a date that usually has good league of ireland attendances. 
time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it.

I wonder will Fran Gavin claim credit for creating an atmosphere where attendances are declining.

Now that I have young kids (who'd be too young to stay up til 10. Well bar 1 who I'm hoping to be a regular next year despite the ear ache from the wife), I can see the reasons for Saturday afternoon kick offs. Would it make attendances worse? Can't get much lower.

Standard of grounds isn't acceptable for kids either. Brought young lad to his first match a few weeks and had to tell him to go for a sh*te before going to match as jacks are disgusting in United park (don't mind myself, but for kids, women, etc)
