Televised games 2013

Dodge any idea how many games the RTE contract is for this season?

I thought it was to increase to 30 including cup games.

It may well still be.

Surprised not to see more of our games televised due to ease of setup in Thomond park. Maybe they just don't fancy a fairly empty 26,500 stadium on telly. We have only had two games televised this year.

Probably more to do with the Sunday kick-offs and the summer league.

You've had as many home games as anybody on RTE. Tallaght, Dalymount and Thomond the only 3 with 2 games shown

Have they heard about the 20th?

I kinda assume RTE will be showing that. If Setanta approached Pats about moving it to Thursday for live coverage, I'd be happy to hear they said no

I hope neither of them show it to be honest, I want us to take a big a crowd as possible down. TV coverage and a possible Thursday night would have a big impact on attendance and hence atmosphere.

Any hope of a first division game getting shown before the end of the season?

I remember a few being shown over the years.

not in the last 5 years you don't.

Did Galway have one or two on TG4 when in the first division or was it after being promoted?

They showed us against Galway near the end of the 2006 season, after they showed us against Rovers in the Cup.

The only time I remember seeing a 1st div team live over the last few years was when Waterford played Sligo in the cup.

Last First Division game that was shown live on TV was Harps v Athlone in 2007, I believe.

Hi lads.

I was just wondering are there any of this weekends F.A.I. Cup games on T.V ?

Cheers lads.

I don't think so. Pats v DLK are live next Fri on RTE, then Bray v Pats on Setanta on Thurs 26th.

EDIT : Fixed the date for the Bray v Pats game now, but pity its not on the 19th !!!!!
