Any chance you could "play the ball", rather than the "man"?

That is, was there anything within my post with which you disagree?

I'll leave that with you.

Meanwhile, if you need any more information on my point ("Protestant working-class" clubs in NI are not opposed to an AIL in principle), then you might care to read this from earlier today:

Crusaders chief eager to see the plans for All-Island football revolution


Crusaders say they welcome ambitious plans to revitalise Irish League football and are keen to study details of the All-Island League proposal.

Crusaders' grants and funding director Mark Langhammer will attend tonight's meeting and believes the proposal should be considered.

"Crusaders FC, as a fan-owned and run club, would make any decision on an All-Island League through a decision of its members as a whole," said Langhammer.

"We would take such a decision on footballing and sports-business grounds, not on political grounds.

"The proposal for an island-wide league is strong on the commercial side and could be an attractive one in terms of football quality."

Good to hear positive reports coming from IL clubs last night. Hopefully we can start hearing some more concrete details soon. No much argument against it in my opinion. Golden opportunity for football in Ireland to take a huge step forward.

Interesting stuff there territorial, seems from those quotes it’s cliftonville opposed and crusaders for on north Belfast anyway, not sure about this proposal at all myself, I’d like to see a single football league here but details and actual firm financial plans are a bit scarce?

To be fair you're not going to get concrete numbers ahead of time. Companies may declare interest but the bidding process will only begin in earnest once the league gets the go ahead. Pessimistic and optimistic figures were provided and the possibility of further growth shouldn't be discounted. The potential of the new league is something we could never create on our own even with the best brand managers in the world, it's certainly not something that will happen by changing the amount of teams, adding/removing splits and similar format changes.

General gist from up north is that fans won't support it.

Where are you seeing or hearing this?

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Does the transport infrastructure exist on this island to allow away fans to travel in numbers to long distance away games - particularly on week nights? 

How would Cork fans get to Belfast and back for a 7:45pm kick off midweek? 

I could see the Dublin and Belfast clubs, Dundalk and Derry enjoying good attendances in this league, but how would the likes of Cork or Waterford get on with the travel involved?

To be fair it's gradually improving and probably in its best state for the last 5 years anyway.

This might sound overly simplistic, but don't schedule those type of midweek games for those clubs.

Simple as that... current fixture list is randomised, AIL wouldn't be so some common sense could be provided.. For example Linfield will play Glentoran in Windsor on Stephen's Day. Ideally no midweek games would happen.

Any word on the proposed season schedule? Doubt the Nordies would want to move to their season to the summer. Will UEFA agree to this also?

April to New Years. Best of both world's in my opinion and would argue it's better for us regardless of what happens with IL.
