We'll be paying commercial rent to the council but we won't be paying other clubs as before and contributing to their income. Big difference.

We've always paid rents for our grounds, even in Milltown. We're not the only club to fully own our ground. Other grounds like ours around the country are owned by county councils, e.g Cork. It's still bar technicalities the club's own grounds, and this one will be ours.

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

its the exact same situation as Turners Cross

its not a bid thing to have either

In this country though, people think it's wrong to rent something. :confused: That's why the property boom snapped. :eek: Everyone was obsessed with having their own home. :rolleyes:

Just seen there now they are advertising the Dundalk vs Bohs game already on TV. This must be a first, advertising a week before the game.

Fair play for the early coverage :cool:

Six games televised for one club and that club will receive extra money. Bohs half-way there already

Any idea what the ratings are like this year? To be expected but the Rovers-Rovers game didn't make the top 20 last week.

Is it just me or should the televised game not be on the saturday or would it be too awkward? Ratings would be much higher because most LOI fans who would watch the live games can't, because they're watching their own team on the friday,when the live game is on.........

Rovers v Rovers got 109,000 or something along those lines, it was nearly double the audience of the Dundalk v Bohs game.

I don't think that's a major consideration, to be honest. How many people attend games on a Friday night, about 20,000? Even if half of them (optimistic) watched the televised game it wouldn't make much of an impression on the figures.
