The season should be extended by 4 or 5 weeks.
That may mean additional costs for the clubs not on 52 week contracts but the higher gates from no midweek matches would close the gap to some degree and its crazy that the league season is so short.
I can understand why the FAI keep weekends exclusively for the cup as the sponsor probably doesn't want their sponsorship to be of an event that takes place midweek to which nobody go's.
Would Harps agree to a 4 week season extension to avoid all the midweek trips? I'm not picking on Harps btw just as they are the most recent example of the problem of crazy scheduling
