"I wouldn’t bring a young kid to watch a League of Ireland game in certain places”

Is the behaviour of some football fans discouraging parents from bringing children to League of Ireland games?

The topic was the subject of debate on OffTheBall.com's League of Ireland podcast this week.

Jamie Moore and Darren Cleary were joined in studio by journalist Shane Dawson to discuss.

The discussion evolved into a conversation about what could be done to entice new fans to grounds, Jamie Moore believes the behaviour of fans is a barrier to that.

He believes bad language in the stands is enough to put parents off taking their children to watch games. Darren and Shane disagreed.
