Televised games 2014

[vinnie]

At least Setanta screen the matches at a reasonable time, RTE's 7:05 kick off's are a joke

[wandererfan]

other games tbc but looking at the fixture list, i would guess the game on the 18th could be either bray v shamrock rovers or limerick v derry. Bray game only game around dublin that weekend so it could be that

[oriel]

Setanta have confirmed two matches this am.

Bohs v Pats on 11/07

Cork v UCD on 18/07

[nigel-harps1954]

8pm and 8:05pm kick offs too. RTE could learn from them.

[adamd164]

The fixtures haven't fallen kindly on those weekends for them.. neither game is likely to attract much interest outside of fans of the clubs involved.

Shamrock v Dundalk is on next weekend but obviously can't be switched from the Sunday.

bit of a surprise to see UCD there but I am sure the UCD lads are delighted.. Am I correct in assuming the last time UCD was on live TV was the FAI Cup Semi in 07 against us?

[pineapple stu]

Nah, we've been on a couple of times since. Last time was the 2-1 defeat in the Bowl against Rovers a couple of years ago, when Rovers won the league (I think?) Game was actually postponed from the previous day due to a waterlogged pitch; only time I've ever known a UCD game to be called off. We were also on when losing 1-0 to Galway in 2008.

Funny, someone was predicting this to me at our last game, purely because there are so few games on that week. Can't see our awful TV record improving though.

[Dunny]

That live tv fixture for Cork v UCD will surely decimate what was already prob already going to be a fairly poorly attended match ?

[Charlie Darwin]

Hasn't been a poorly attended game at Turner's Cross all year and I wouldn't expect that to change.

[oriel]

Agreed, and the smallest league crowd this season at the Cross has probably been just over 2k, possibly more.

Anyone in Cork who wants to watch Cork v UCD will be at the game.

Over 2500 AFAIK, although this has the potential to be lower.

[Charlie Darwin]

Half hour build-up to the match tonight - 25 minutes longer than RTE provide.

[Charlie Darwin]

Bohs v Cork moved to 8.05pm on Friday 25th to facilitate Setanta coverage.

[adamd164]

I'd expect that our game v Dundalk the following weekend will also be shown unless Dundalk beat Hajduk Split.

[White Horse]

People will start accusing you of being the new Sham Rovers

Taking over the airwaves.

[adamd164]

We'll convert the entire country to Clonakilty Black pudding and sausages yet!

I'd say so, I'm always starving watching yiz play

[dundalkfc10]

I'd expect that our game v Dundalk the following weekend will also be shown unless Dundalk beat Hajduk Split.

I hope not, That will result in us barely having 100 with us

If its not on TV we could bring a large enough support

We're already converted. Still prefer a Superquinn sausage mind.
