Everyday day over the last 6 months we have heard about the financial trouble faced by League of Ireland football clubs.
Dublin City and Kilkenny City have gone to the wall and a host of other clubs are in severe financial difficulty. These include Galway United, Waterford United, Cobh Ramblers, Sligo Rovers, Shelbourne and indeed my own club Cork City is now facing into the abyss of extinction.
There are all sorts of reasons for the financial failure of Irish clubs but ultimately it leads back to the lack of crowds at games.
People support GAA, Rugby and the Irish National soccer team in vast numbers but for some reason the crowds are just not there for League of Ireland football.
More Irish people support English Soccer Clubs and spent fortunes going for weekend soccer breaks to the likes of Old Trafford and Anfield yet cheer when the English National side is beaten.
Therefore, this question is aimed at sports followers on ABM. Why do you not support the LOI clubs? If the authorities that be understood why the Irish people are not supporting Irish domestic football then maybe they could do something about it.
