It'd probably depend how much local interest they could tap up, and the merger with the local club can only help in that regard. How much will it help though? I can't imagine they'd be breaking any First Division records, for sure. but yeah, as slk says, I don't see it being directly comparable to the UCD situation.
If they could join the league with a bit of momentum behind them - winning the LSL and getting promotion - that would be another help towards getting some sort of local backing. But of course we don't do that...
