The FAI have announced that Newstalk 106- 108 fm have come on board as a new sponsor of the League of Ireland
The agreement is for a period of three years. Newstalk shall also become title sponsors of the Newstalk A Championship
The FAI have confirmed that this new deal will enable them to increase prize money and subsidies for all League of Ireland clubs
Good soundbyte. Slightly less impressive when translated as "The sponsors will be giving us money."Quote:

Nope. FAI League of Ireland. Newstalk aren't paying that much.
Newstalk A Championship...:D!
Interesting. I'd imagine this will signal the end of RTE's Friday night show. Some years when newstalk started up (as Dublin only) they gave reasonable coverage to the league but RTE stopped them from doing live games. Hopefully Newstalk will now cover the league much, much more and maybe even sack LOI hater Ken early as main football correspondent. We can but dream...
Is this a joke altogether???
Weren't RTE pulling that show anyway?. I'll wait with bated breath to see what extra prize money and subsidies trickles down.
League gets sponsor?
Hilarious.
:confused:
Yes.Similar to the rumours you commonly spread.Quote:

Cowboys.
Ah well at least we got some sort of announcement.
Now for Drogs to get some sort of decision later.
Another new logo?
That'll sort everything!
New website soon too. Makes you wonder why they screwed up the last one.

The name League of Ireland is used throughout

So are they going to be the main sponsors of the league then? Nah?
Oh I can hear Ken's voice now actually. Its amazing what sticks in your head. There was a regular late evening time sports programme as I remember it. GAA, english football and rugby filled as I remember it. Will he now adapt and discover a passion for LoI football. I'll never know, I'll never hear him and that I'm grateful for.Quote:
