I don't see the point of arguing against ye lads in the LoI circle as ye know the ins and outs of the league etc. At the same time, if you look at the 4 years the A Championship was run, 8 first teams took part: Castlebar Celtic, Cobh Ramblers, Fanad Utd, FC Carlow, Mervue Utd, Salthill Devon, Tralee Dynamos and Tullamore Town. It was not a bad return. If a structure such as the A Championship was kept in place, it was not unrealistic to expect in time that more clubs would have got involved. All new competitions and structures need time to get established.
