Percentages

An eleven-team Premier...

How can you rate Limerick, Cobh & Athlone at 40% and Bray at only 10%?

Bray's big disadvantage is it's location. It's too close to Dublin, and they will only choose 4 Dublin clubs at most, and they will be the big 4. Athlone may be chosen because of their new ground, and location. It's a toss-up between them and Longford for the Midlands side. The top league needs a team from the third biggest city, i.e. Limerick, the problem for them is the ground. If they moved to Jackman Park, they would probably be in as well. Cobh would be the outsiders, depending on how they do this season.

Actually, according to census Galway is now the 3rd biggest city.

That's cause they were all away following Munster that day

Either way Limerick will fall well short on pretty much all the requirments in the end, and judging by the current free-fall of their team they proberbly won't even finish in the top three. Galway seem to have pretty much everything going for them, including a geographical advantage so in continuing on from my earlier post I think they should edge out both Bray and UCD for either of the two final top-flight slots.
