Great find Nesta think the 1989 FAI cup Final was the first one I watched live! Remember it well to this day.Originally Posted by Nesta99

I was in Lifestyle Sports yesterday in blanch and noticed a video on loop on the big screen advertising trainers and much of it was filmed at Richmond Park!! Shots of young ones chilling on the terraces and hanging out in the stands with close ups on their trainers etc.
It’s not exactly a promo of the league or even the club exactly, but just more evidence that the LOI is in vogue at the moment if fashion retailers are using it in advertisements.
Wexford did a big campaign around their women's game on Saturday including free entry and a panel show thing upstairs.
Any word on attendance? Haven't seen any clips of the game but saw the players walking out and the stand didn't seem too populated, but that's only part of it of course.
Hard to judge as there was a big crowd in the clubhouse in Ferrycarrig Park for the game and a massive group of young players from Ellen Molloy's former club, Thomastown United. If you counted everybody, I'd put it at about 250. If I get an official figure, I'll post it up here.
Underdrogs : A league of Ireland Story - documentary (about 30mins), is now available on RTE player.
Wots it about SeanDrog?

About the Drogs as a part time club - filmed over 2022/23 I believe and gives an insight into the club. Very well put together tbh. Today it’s trending on the player which is very positive.
Yeah Kevin Doherty gave an interview to media saying that he watched it think it was him that said that!

For subscribers to The Athletic. the 'Derby Days' series has done a piece on the recent Bohs/Rovers game [Paywall]
Blurb: The Athletic has been attending some of the most ferocious derbies across Europe, charting the history of the continent’s most deep-rooted and volatile footballing rivalries.
The series began last season, covering 10 combustible fixtures from Athens to Anfield. We attended De Klassieker and the Derby della Capitale, the Eternal Derby and the Old Firm. We then resumed our journey this season by taking in games in Copenhagen, Salzburg, Lisbon and Belfast.
We were in Ipswich and Zagreb in December, then Sunderland and the Black Country, and watched Sparta play Slavia in Prague. We were in Poland for the Great Silesian derby and, last month, branched further afield to cover the Clasico Regiomontano.
Now to Dublin, a city of derbies, and Bohemians’ meeting with Shamrock Rovers…
