Typical Dublin bias why can they not show the big game of the weekend between Kildare and Harps?

Bloody disgrace. I blame Delaney.

If I was to guess I'd say us vs Pats will be the week 2 game, since Bohs are on week 1.

Wasn't aware of this, but then again why would they cancel the oh so brilliant programme that is The Premiers**t...:rolleyes:

They usually show a few games in a row at the start and end of the season, and none while the GAAliban are having their stick fighting/handball contests.

Spoilt for choice in week 2. Bohs V Derry, City V Pats. Galway V Dundalk should have a bit of needle also and could be an interesting one.

Well thats if Tallaght is ready. Rovers fans say there is no doubt it will be but other people are saying different.

Won't it look sh*t on TV? Either the camera at pitch level or looking straight into a building site

Or is there a TV gantry set up on the Town side of the ground?

That's extremely debatable !

I'd rate City v Drogs as a bigger game, for a host of reasons. It's hard to claim a newly promoted club could be the biggest game of the opening weekend unless it was a derby.

No doubt RTE only picked that game, given their aversion to travelling too far from the safety of The Pale.

TV crowd. We don't need to move any games. Games will move to a night other than Saturday only to accommodate live TV or a clash with an international.

Did they not show Drogheda and Rovers on the opening weekend last season on a Saturday? Half five i think.

TV Games have been confirmed by the FAI:

Week 1 is Dundalk - Bohs
Week 2 is SRFC - SRFC
Week 3 is Bohs - Rovers

Wasn't there a planning objection raised by the school next door in Tallaght about there being Friday night matches there and that necessitated the Saturday games - or have I been fed wrong info?

Original planning permission expired, SDCC build had no conditions attached.

There's a good few Rovers fans travelling from abroad that had flights and all booked who won't be too happy. I know a good few from not that far away had even booked into the hotel beside the ground for the night. I'm surprised the club agreed to the move to be honest.

tbh - if there was going to be one fixture that was always going to be shown on TV (maybe more for the curiosity value) - it was going to be the first game in the long delayed Tallaght Stadium - which may I just remind the people of the congregation - is just another stadium Rovers are renting, just like Tolka, Dalymount, Richmond, etc.

I'll also remind the people of the congregation as well, that we have "anchor tenant" status, which means it's basically our own ground in all bar technicality. Something we didn't have at other grounds over the years.

you're tenants, you have tenants rights, anchor tenant or not (which i dont agree with either by the way).

Enough bitterness from the bozos please. Reiteoir, I'm surprised at you degenerating the thread like that, you being a senior and respected member of this forum and all.

Was more of a general observation than a swipe at anybody - made the same exact point to a colleague of mine who thought that Rovers were finally moving into a stadium they owned 100% - he wasn't aware that it was a rental agreement.

imo - it'll be good to see the club in a stadium that isn't the original home of another club

At least Rovers can't sell their ground three times.

Anchor tenant- yes
Peppercorn rent- yes
Stadium built maintained by SDCC- yes
Club shop in situ- yes
Bar/function facilities available for sole Rovers use- yes
Sencond stand being built by SDCC-yes
Lots of other benefits-yes

Sure is tough being a tenant;)
