The only silver bullet is significant government investment in stadium infrastructure combined with huge marketing spend from the FAI.
If that didn't happen when the Government coffers were overflowing then it certainly won't happen now.
Forcing adherence to the wage cap and pushing forward a coherent marketing approach is probably the most realistic options now available (current CPO approach is spotty, inconsistent and too depedent on the whims of the individual and club).
The core equation still doesn't make sense, we are a nation of football fans who won't watch our own football and we are almost unique in that respect. Nobody has ever given a coherent reason why this CAN'T be changed, all that we know is that like any significant behavioural change it will take a long time.
