Bray Wanderers v Liverpool Legends

[/QUOTE] Shock - No. But it just so annoying why the thousands of kids, young adults and grown men in the area do not want to watch live football and would prefer to watch a game on TV. [/QUOTE]
It's not to do with whether the game is live or not,

It's to do with the quality of the football on offer and the state of the facilities, which on both fronts, is poor.

And that's why Irish football will never be what us as fans would like it to be, great facilities etc... it's a vicious circle of us needing people to come along to bring money into the club to improve facilities, quality of player etc and people not coming along because the facilities are poor and players are not the best.

Well in fairness if the clubs can stop fecking around and manage their finances properly, we can move forward, many reasons:

*Private and Public investment will only come efficiently if they know the clubs are stable eg. sports capital grants, which the Loi gets none of.

*Clubs are priortising wages for the past few years, instead of first improving facilities.Obv there are exceptions.

*Supporters will be less disilussioned with their clubs eg. Cork fans driven away coz of the coughland joker

And said growth will never happen until the FAI create an environment that doesn't reward those clubs who spend beyond their means on wages. This is what it always comes back to.
