Maybe the way clubs have not been interested in competing in Europe, manager and players being on holidays, home ground booked out for home game, well the crowds may still have disinterest. Linfield were the first side that publicly said that European progression was a target and were damn close to the ECL groups. They have to mature to a level of being more ruthless and cynical at this level. You'd still have thought there'd be more Bluesmen through the gate. Is there any neutral following of the Irish league in Europe that you get in LoI? I doubt it though.
