In response to CD who asked if you wanted to gauge whether a move away from GSTQ would make for a more broadly representative team, you said:
"I don't, actually. More important to gauge what NI fans actually think on the issue, and as a result to make the anthem (or whatever) more representative of them."
So, as I understood that, you don't particularly care if it becomes more broadly representative of all football fans from the region, merely that it becomes more representative of current NI fans.
However, I accept that you're being realistic; I just think that it is in the IFA's interests to "reach out", as it were. After all, what do they realistically stand to lose by doing so? Not as much as they did by dragging Daniel Kearns to Switzerland on the stubborn belief that FIFA were wrong, anyway.
