We have some game against Kazan on the Thursday, so there is no chance of us playing Friday night if we qualify for the next round.

Thats thr crux of the issue. I've no doubt that TV coverage of the leagee helps overall, but with so fight pretty much everywhere, a drop of 200 in the gate is a huge drop, and felt almost immediately
Most other leagues main income is from TV revenue, while we actually lose money on TV games...
Ah your a tough crowd on here. 8 out of 10 easy.Quote:

Surely television appearances are written into pitchside advertising and shirt sponsorship deals?
Then again, probably not given how inept the business practices in this league tend to be.

Hard to put into any contracts when the amount of games won't be known
Last year we were on TV 11 times, this year we’ve been on twice (1 on RTE, 1 on Setanta - with one on each channel scheduled for coming weeks)
How are Pats supposed to go to companies and say “ we can guarantee you live coverage x times a year” when they haven’t a clue themselves. Even ‘pay per TV game’ type situations wouldn’t be suitable
For the record here’s Pats live games over the last few years;
15 in 2007 (2 on RTE, 9 on Setanta, 4 on TG4)
15 in 2008 (3 on RTE, 12 on Setanta)
6 in 2009 (1 on RTE, 3 on Setanta, 2 on TG4)
11 in 2010 (7 on RTE, 4 on Setanta)
I could count on one finger the amount of times Harps have been shown live in the last few seasons.Quote:

Being in the Premier Division does help. If there's no market for First Division in the stands, there's not going to be one for tv either.Quote:
