Looking at the season ticket figures, I can see why Shamrock Rovers want to keep their 18 home league games.
I can't see why the Premier of 12 won't be played over 3 series as it was before. They've the same format in Denmark. The way they work it, the prize for finishing in the top 6 is having the extra home game in the following season. It gives those around 7th and 8th something to push for at the later stages of the season. The alternative is reversing the fixtures as per usual in Division One and as it was done before in the Premier.
Agreed with all on the split, it'll be misery for the 6 clubs involved.
Danish system for working the extra series:
Whatever format is agreed upon, hopefully the league can have a settled structure.
