Whether or not this is a 'Question' or an 'Exercise' - it certainly is not pointless. It is fundemental to accessing the League and its success or otherwise. I'd be very interested if anyone had figures comparing attendances for Summer soccer against Winter soccer!
Summer soccer was the great white hope for Irish football but I would agree with most of my fellow Sligo Rovers supporters that it has been a disaster for our club and is a major factor in keeping attendances down at the Showgrounds.
I can see little evidence of it being a significant benefit to our clubs in Europe and it is no addition to improving the quality of pitches as the close season is during the worst months of the year when there is no growth and very little can be done with them.
