Im originally from Sale - so United are my nearest club. Not that it makes me more of a United fan than anyone else. Altrincham are is just a little further away and i have been to watch the Robin's loads of times.
I just think if some of the Irish fans went to support the local team as well as United then the irish league clubs will receive more money, thus the standard should improve over time - if the money is spent right.

I think you have a point. But the FAI are a bunch of total fuckwits and I don't ever see them getting the Irish league to anything even close to the English game.
Besides, as Red Hand said, a lot of Irish football fans will go to watch United
and their local side, just like you and the Robins. When I was living in Irleland I used to watch Shamrock Rovers more times than I watched United, in any given season. Given a choice between the two though, I'm sure you understand the attraction of Old Trafford
