New League Sponsors - Wonder how much it was worth

[Longfordian]

Fecking Meatloaf in Flancare. Always the same bloody tune.."Well you took the words right out of my mouth". Every game pre-game and at half-time. It's been driving me insane for the last three or four years.

Well i just thought when RTE mentioned, for instance the A League, they may have to mention Newstalk...Why would RTE mention the A league? It's only ever done Premier Division coverage and latest scores from First Division.

Why purely for ****s and giggles of course!!:cool:

found this in an interview with Daire Whelan who wrote the Who Stole Our Game book:

"Newstalk joining Boylesports, umbro and eircom as marquee partners"

Do Eircom still have a share in the LOI, or is Mr. Whelan, like in his book, talking crap??

[Magicme]

They still have a share.

I may e-mail RTE Radio One this week if I get a chance to ask the question. I think Adrian Eames is good for a response as I remember reading a response to a query in the past.

Seems to be two more major sponsors still pnding according to this email from Newstalk:

The FAI National League will now be sponsored by 4 top tier parties - Newstalk, Eircom and 2 to be announced.
Lower tier sponsors are Boylesports, Umbro, Lucozade Sports and the National Dairy Council.
