Travel is easier and cheaper for both clubs and supporters. The weather tends to be very similar across border nations meaning schedules are easier to put together.
This notion of putting countries together that have little or no social or cultural ties and thinking you can create a league is nonsense. We've now had the suggestion of Finnish and Icelandic teams ffs.
