The clubs involved get nothing directly.
All TV money goes into prize money now at the end of the year so it's pooled together. Not a great system IMO because the home club will generally lose out in terms of gate receipts.

Prize money? Good one. They can make that up as they go along.
They do I'd imagine!
zero.

I'm curious as to why the 2.45 kick could have such a big effect on the crowd for the Sligo Derry match as distinct from any evening kick off? Any dip in Sligo fans was compensated for by the 500 or so Derry fans that made that match and I'd say as a consequence you had a normal enough gate for the match. If that match had been on at the normal time, you wouldn't have had as many Derry fans at the match.
For me I thought it was great as it enabled to get up and down from Dublin in the one day.
I've long thought that the league doesn't do enough for away fans. Friday nights are the worst if you don't live in the place the match is on in.
Clubs do not get any TV money.Quote:

They are being more upfront now and no longer pretend that there is a payout possibility.
A disgrace Harps are not being shown. With our free flowing football and huge crowds we would be a great advertisement for the league.
We still have Tony Doc, Brendan Bradley and Jim Sheridan playing for us, right?
The father of my Swedish girlfriend was talking to someone who works for Swedish TV who met someone from RTE at a conference who had been talking to a lad in the pub who knew someone years ago that they met at mass who said that Harps wouldn't change their kick off timeQuote:

Why is it that in the LOI it's every club for themselves and the cheerleaders in the meeja go at it? I know bias is good in ways, but any coverage is better than nothing (though rumours of RTE Sport being rebranded - SRFCTV - do seem to gather momentum in certain parishes, I for one welcome the introduction of our new overlords from Tallaght. Note to Chairman/Owner - settle debts with LCC and tell them they'll get 15c in the euro, and be happy with it :p )
That journo's weekly rant gets worse by the week.
What did he say when there were 0 live LOI games Pre-1997?

At least he's open about his bias, but he should be using his column to be constructive and push the LOI, not turn floaters away. Then again, he's writing for the paper of record (that record being one of hatred towards the FAI and LOI thanks to the ongoing shareholder battle between Irish clans).Quote:

Only available in Ireland AFAIK
Please God only on Ireland - painful watching
God this is ****e.
Fagan will make a difference id say.
Atrocious viewing, you can hear the players shouting for handballs and free kicks. It's like watching a lazy afternoon kickabout in the park.

I nearly fell asleep with the boredom of it! bohs are **** poor and callaghan is not much addition either..the more I see them the more I am convinced that they will get relegated this season..imo it serves them right to being too gleeful when they had this extra cash five years ago so I have no sympathy for them..
Well hopefully we won't disappoint you then and you can come and visit us next Season in Division 1.Quote:

Awful game and performance by BOTH teams and worst possible advert for live LOI. Pitch looked very bumpy and was certainly not condusive to decent (any) football. Bohs were nervous as hell, probobly due to our null points todate but Pats just didn't look interested which was strange as they have asperations to be contenders.Quote:

Have to agree there have been some horrible Bohs /Pats games over the years. Usually when live on TV. ( the games at Richmond have by and large been a bit better) Even by those standards though, yesterdays game was awful. Can only hope on our part that it's due to the new team still finding it's way. We looked pretty toothless upfront without Dean Kelly. Our best forward so far. O'Flynn is big and arkward, but seems to have more than a touch of donkey-itis. Miss yesterday was shocking. How did he not even hit the target from there ?Quote:

Thats long finished. He's been on MNS every weekQuote:

Bloody hell, that's awful scheduling. Maybe Sligo can salvage something from it by turning it into a family day or something like that.
Does that have anything to do with Rugby on a Friday night? At least the PL is finished by then, but an awful time for a match it has to be said...Quote:

And setanta final is 4pm, on the 12th - don't know where they pulled that time from either.
I think there's rugby on TV at 7.35 on the Saturday night. That's when Leinster are playing their semi final anywaysQuote:
