    Yeah capping prices to €10 is pointless. Some say €15 isn't a good price for the standard of Football, but the clubs need the money. Even if it was €10 there would be no difference to attendances.

    The fixture congestion in an absolute joke. Does nothing to help the players and ruins attendances. Something needs to be done about it.

    Why does rivalry have to equate to hatred ?

    Who do you hate and why ?

    I think 15e is an alright price especially when you look at prices across the water with most clubs in league two charging more then league of Ireland clubs and even clubs below league two charging £17 like Halifax Town. The standard of football may not be high quality but it can be exciting at times, how boring has a lot of premier league matches being this season especially United's first couple of matches in the league which literally put me to sleep and costs you probably 30odd pounds for the cheapest ticket.

    Theres no hun teams in the LoI. From experience and travelling to games the biggest Celtic support would come from Rovers, Bohs and Derry and this would be followed by Pats and Dundalk.

    I agree, your just as likely to see a great game in the LOI as you are in the EPL. Sadly a lot of people in Ireland expect too much quality from players who earn very little money. €15 is a fair price.

    Probaby the biggest rivalry in the league is the Bohemians v Shamrock Rovers Dublin derby. It is mostly a north side v south side type think rivalry wise.

    Everybody hates Shamrock Rovers, mainly due to the fact they have a large amount of scumbag fans. Id say if you looked at 10 random instances over the past 10 years where trouble occurred before/during/after a game, Rovers would be playing in at least 8 of them.

    The Big Rivalry's would be
    Shamrock Rovers v Bohs (Main Derby in Dublin)
    Bohs V Shelbourne
    St Pats V Shamrock Rovers
    Shamrock Rovers V Limerick
    Shamrock Rovers V Dundalk
    Derry v Finn Harps (North West Derby)
    Dundalk V Drogheda (Louth Derby)
    Athlone V Longford (Midlands Derby)
    Derry v Sligo
