Playoff structure/Less dead heat games/less repitition is where I believe crowds will improve and obviously there is the risk of poor attendances for some games. Playoff systems have been implemented successfully in Europe eg. Belgium. Also as regards stadia I dont think the build it and they will come idea works on its own as displayed this year by Limerick Edited by AnCearrbhach - 27 Sep 2013 at 7:16pm |

16 team league, 10 team league, 12 team league, 4 round series, 3 round series, top 6, playoffs. Almost every possibility has been tried with, making no difference.
We don't need to change structure, we need good stadiums, effective promotion, good scheduling, lower ticket prices, thorough and comprehensive tv/media coverage. That extends to more than 5 minute musical highlights three days after games are played, and a 6-inch column in the local paper. But inertia rules supreme and while it does, the league won't improve. |

No but sports in the US of A does. NFL system is excellent
 ..... Average team only plays 16 games, season is 4 months long. |

It is still a very long league structure alright. Are you banking on the playoff series attracting bigger crowds because of the nature of knockout?

So how will changing the league format alter this?
As an old school Rovers fan I know says, you could be handing out free rides at the LoI and most of the 'best fans in the world' (tm) still would have no interest.
I think people simply need to realise that while there are obvious flaws and grounds for improvement, the LoI is a good standard for a country of our size, the best supported league on the island and this is as good as it gets.

Sorry, I think it's an awful idea. Wild cards, playoffs, Conferences & No Relegation, Stinks of the American sports' system
 , Might as well bring back Sporting Franchise while we're at it. |

These are two very contradictory statements. Thanks for the kind words lads. Like the idea of the seeding only issue would be increased cost for travel expenses, great idea though. At some point we have to accept that Irish people just dont like leagues, blame it on the GAA or whatever you want but its just a fact.

No, it's terrible. I like going to Pats and Derry not Bray and UCD.
