More TV coverage and a better standard of play................more enjoyable and more of a chance of being able to discuss a match that an English club had, or were about to play in, than an Irish club playing in an Irish league........
BTW, I'm not saying all supporters of English clubs don't also support their own local club, team or league............
I think it's just a better standard of play and more entertaining for most.............
