Was looking at the current tables and decided to look back over the years and came across this table which paints an ugly picture.. five of those teams are now gone, have one back with cobh but its still fairly depressing

Apologies for the confusion of the table, original table would not fit in the post so had to paste it in plain text

Well things have gone right for Sligo, Dundalk and Limerick. It would be great to see Galway, Kilkenny, Kildare and Monaghan return. If recent A Championship teams Castlebar, Tralee, Carlow and Tullamore were brought in the LoI as well, the first division could be north and south groups of 8. All fallacy anyways I know, we are where we are.

I can only comment on our own club, gross, reckless mismanagement of the club especially so in 2008 led to our problems. Simply spending money that wasn't there in chasing the dream and poor attendances have got these clubs to where they are, is love to see the likes if mons, kilkenny back, ain't going to happen any time soon.
