Well I live in Drogheda now and they're playing away that weekend otherwise I'd head along to that. Shels are at home to Dundalk in what looks like a very interesting game but I'd feel dirty paying in to a Shels home game that we're not playing in and Pats are away to Derry that weekend so it'll be in with my feet up and a few beers.
Friday 9 Mar: Bohemians vs Drogheda United, Dalymount Park (RTE 2)
Friday 16 Mar: Cork City vs Galway United, Turners Cross (RTE 2)
Friday 23 Mar: Derry City vs St. Patrick’s Athletic, Brandywell Stadium (RTE 2)
Friday 30 Mar: Drogheda United vs Derry City, United Park (Setanta)
Monday 9 Apr: Derry City vs Cork City, Brandywell Stadium (Setanta)...WHY?

I don't think I'll be able to make that Derry game so this is great news for me...
Secret no ****ing holidays left and its either this or the Setanta game in Cork...
Things might change though.
Gavin said: “We are delighted by the decision of the four broadcasters to screen a record number of live fixtures this season. Viewing figures for televised eircom League of Ireland fixtures have been consistently high over the last number of years, which we believe shows the huge interest in our game that is out there. By screening games live, we hope to be able to convince those people with a passing interest in the eircom League of Ireland of the huge reservoir of playing talent that exists in this country.”
Fran how about a decent highlights programme? How about not putting games on live that will inconvenience away fans like the last fixture above?
Jokeshop.

Every league in the world schedules games that inconvenience away fans. Saturday 11 kick offs in England, Monday games anywhere etc etc
Monday games will get a decent rating with nothing else on. I’d expect a fair few more on Setanta on Mondays. I think Scheduling live games on a Friday opposite a full set of fixtures is far worse.
Agree we need a quality highlights programme. The 4 broadcastors should be forced to cover all Premier games at the minimum. Its not a priority for clubs as they need live TV for sponsors etc
Smae here (off to Cork on Monday 12th) Think its the 4th time we've played Cork on a Monday/Tuesday
