RTE never begin a live game broadcast 2 hours before ko. Even Sky gave that up years ago.
Will Rovers fans struggle for tickets to that one? If I remember the layout rightly, it would just be a case of hopping a few fences and you're on the grassy knoll opposite the seating area.
On a side note, RTE should be showing Shels vs Cork City next Saturday night. It's a winner-takes-all title decider, regardless of the fact that it's the first division it should definitely be on telly and would draw an audience.
On telly with updates regularly from Limeirck vs Waterford and Athlone vs Mons.Quote:

If they had their way, they'd have dragged us all the way back from Salonika to play last night at 7.35pm because, well that's their live game ko time, and they don't do compromise or consideration. And because we've inconvenienced them by having to play on a different night, they've made us play this game at 7pm for their convenience.
Event Junkies.
Pitch inspection at 16.30
http://www.raintoday.co.uk/
I'll be astonished if it's played. All the approach roads like Clonskeagh Road and the N11 will be choked with slow traffic/flooded (?), hills that people stand on, steps and accessways etc etc.
When is the earliest it can be played at shortest notice...surely not tomorrow or Wednesday..
shels v harps is bound to be under threat aswell for tomorrow night?
tolka used to always get flooded/waterlogged

Referee Neil Doyle to conduct further inspection, expect news in 10 mins or so. Original inspection found pitch playable with some work.
Rumours on twitter that Neil Doyle has awarded the game to Shams
Match off
I'd imagine RTÉ will try and encourage the game to go ahead.
I've never known a UCD home game to be postponed; the pitch is usually in decent nick. That said, the Bowl is in, well, a bowl, and I don't recall such heavy, persistent rain all match-day since we moved. No sign of a let-up either; meteireann.ie suggests it's about to get even heavier.
Edit - yeah, first time for everything it seems. Game off. Dunno when we'll get a chance to play it as the rain seems to be in for the week?
Edit edit - actually, looks like Wednesday's going to be clear; maybe then? Away to Sligo on Friday, so has to be either tomorrow or Wednesday really.
match off
Think that RTE are saying that it is on Tomorrow night ?? Anyway MNS reverts to the 7pm slot.
What's the earliest that this can be played?
No heavy rain is forecast for tomorrow so with some work on the pitch tomorrow I'd be confident it will go ahead.Quote:
