[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 1183699, member: 39240"] Wouldn't say bigger fanbase. Limerick actually has the bigger fanbase when you factor in Clare, Tipperary, Waterford and even some parts of Cork find it easier getting to Limerick. They owned the ground at Thomond and have better access to alot more than you think in Limerick that couldn't be guaranteed in Cork. UL was a country mile clear in what they could supply regards training and medical facilities. The talent sources are West Cork also so Cork City makes very little difference. Even on away trips most Cork based people still fly from Shannon I should add. Also we have better housing facilities for our players in Castletroy close to camp that could not have been got in CIT. And Stadium I would argue wasn't too big as it was close to sell outs for first few years but like anything decline in results leads to less people. Awkward TV times played a part too. [/QUOTE]
