You're reducing the amount of games that will be played in bogs around the country. That's on the pitch. Off the pitch, you've got deathtraps like Connaught St in Dalymount that doesn't exactly lend itself well to the dark, rain or ice, also expecting fans to go to places like Carlisle Grounds and stand on bare terracing. The long drives for the likes of Cork and Derry are a little nicer in the daylight than depths of dark winter. It just makes supporting League of Ireland football a little nicer, safer and more marketable.
