Limerick vs Cork City has been moved to Saturday March 9th 7.45pm for TV coverage. Don't know if this is Setanta or RTE... maybe a Limerick fan will know.

I thought RTE had picked Sligo/Derry on Friday so maybe they're showing 2 games, or its Setanta?

There is a full list of Premier League games on that day in England and there is no way RTE would move Premier Soccer Saturday for a LOI game so I'd say it's Setanta

If its RTE it will be on after the Ireland vs France game and as said above I'd be shocked if RTE move there premier soccer Saturday for it.

Setanta then have the setanta cup quarters on the Monday and Tuesday so cork likely down for a Tuesday game there.

Rumours were they were trying to get the league game moved to Sunday but with us having a Setanta cup game in the next round (assuming we don't throw away a 4-0 lead) midweek that may be why they're going with Saturday.

According to Corks twitter the game has been moved to Sunday. They release a revised fixture list and then change the fixture a few days later. 5:15pm kick off

RTÉ have selected the Munster derby between Limerick and Cork City as their first live game of the new 2013 Airtricity League season. The Premier Division match at Thomond Park has been moved to Sunday, March 10, to facilitate the broadcast and the kick-off will be at 5.15pm. It will be shown on RTÉ Two

During the opening month of the season RTÉ will also screen the match between Shamrock Rovers and St Patrick’s Athletic on Friday, March 15 and the Shelbourne v Shamrock Rovers game which will now take place on Sunday, March 24.

RTÉ also intend to screen a match on Friday, March 29, but have not yet selected a game.

Great stuff that they've gone for a Sunday evening kick-off. Great for families and should be a good attendance for that game in Thomond.

I'm really glad Sligo Rovers aren't having any games live on TV. I think we have 7 or 8 leagues games alone on TV, very inconvenient for supporters with kick off times and dates changed.

Great for Limerick to get the live game and exposure. It won't put be off going to the game. Only place to be.

It would be great if Limerick could get a crowd of close to 6k in for this. With the longer evenings the KO time in not bad either and they could get lucky with the weather. I might even head down to it myself, never been in Thomand and can't wait for the league to start.

I think that's expecting a bit much given that Limerick would have had crowds in the hundreds last season.

3k would be a great crowd with it on TV.

It is quite possible as it is a city of event junkies. All you have to do is look at the egg chasers and GAA to see that.

Do Cork fans think it being on tele and the change of time/date will lower how many they will bring?

There's 2 sides to the coin - being moved to a Sunday I'd imagine it'll be easier for people with jobs and families to make it, but clearly on the other hand the TV coverage is bound to turn off some from travelling. I'd hope with it being the first game that we'll still bring a very healthy crowd.

If Limerick have any sense, all fans will be in the one stand facing the cameras. It is a ridiculous idea to put people in the stand under the camera.

Well when i asked the lads running the club where the away fans would go i was told they would be in the stand opposite the home fans.

Good that they're showing Derry. As with the Bohs v Sligo game though, it seems like more of an excuse to show those teams when they're in Dublin than because it's going to be a big game!

Two Bohs home games live in the space of a week. Gonna make for poor viewing on that surface at Dalymount.

Have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised. Nearly a live game every week since start of the season?

Sligo won't be happy with the 3.55pm kick off for our game.

Not nearly, there HAS been a live game every weekend so far on RTE (and will be until late Aprl at least)

Isn't there meant to be one league game on TV every week this season, or was the agreement including FAI cup games too?

Glad to see Dundalk dodged any televised games at Oriel Park.

Need to keep attendances over 2,000.

Just noticed watching the game here that Sligo have a star on their shirt above the crest. They haven't won 10 league titles or a Champions League last time I checked, so why the star?

Some teams do it for 5 league wins I think...

edit - they've only won three... Hmmmmm

Bohs added one when they hit 10 a couple of years ago, but now I see they've dropped it. Should be an FAI committee to police this sort of carry on! ;)

Man City added three stars for no apparent reason when they changed their crest

We have two stars, I presume for two leagues.

Don't think they mean anything to be honest, some teams have them, some don't.

Nothing to do with trophies. Its for Johnny Chadda. Famous man in the Showgrounds. Wrote a poem saying something like the name of Sligo Rovers will shine forever like the morning star. There's a banner about it in the main stand.

Johnny - Sligo's answer to Tagore and a man who dedicated a phenomenal amount of energy over several decades to the good of the Bit o' Red. A star was the least we could do for him.

There's supposed to be 33 games total, which just coincidentally is the exact number of rounds in the league season. They don't seem to be showing any of the midweek rounds so I assume they'll make it up with FAI Cup games.

Also, do we get one on ours if win another league or cup? Mind you, the former might be a long time off.

I'm fairly sure it was an Umbro idea for clubs to start wearing them "Italian" style. There's certainly no official LOI star for 10 titles

I loved when Rangers & Celtic had their star battle. Rangers went with 5 stars to signify 50 league titles, so Celtic responded with a 'platinum' star for the European Cup.

Aberdeen had 2 to signify their two European trophies (one of whcih was the Super Cup).
