I think its a good idea.
if the FAI are trying to get first div teams to improve their grounds to get a licences its not much encouragement when their chances of actually playing in the Premier are practically nil.
Take Kilkenny, who have concentrated on their grounds development for a few years. With a 10 team Premier they have no hope of getting in.
At least with a 12 team Premier they could aim to start putting together a squad that could win promotion in a year or two.
to liven up the first div they should look for applications for 2 new teams, licences permitting of course.
