thats really poor league cup has become a poor relation , especially with setanta cup and a league

i think that if setanta sports bothered heading west of the shannon that there would be a great attendance in sligo galway or ballybofey despite the last two teams obvious problems which i hope can be resolved asap..
this crowd keep taking the pi*s out of sligo rovers
top six last year - fourth potentially after this weekend and no chance of ever been shown on rte or setanta.
i am not belittling the supposed top six but we would be very much in the mix if it was not for a baffling decision to disallow a legit goal for us against bohs and for them to break upfield and score a goal within 25 seconds.
rant over but i am tired of watching bohs cork derry drogs and pats
give other teams a chance setanta.

Not sure about Setanta but RTE have said they're not showing any live games from the Showgrounds until we've built a proper gantry...can't say I blame them either tbh.

a cheap get out in my opinion ... if we got a gantry they would complain about the roads and the infrastructure.
they have to accept that there are more teams than 6 in the premier league.
coverage of the so called top 6 is approaching saturation point.
no offence to derry supporters, but we are not far off them despite the fact that they are the best fans bar none but i think that they are shown live too often - same as bohs pats cork and drogs.
i pay 19.99 a month to setanta like a lot of more eircom league fans.
you see all english premier league teams at least 6 times live on sky.
live football has to showcase the league , not just the percieved glamour clubs or they are failing the genuine supporters.
rte were forced to show sligo-derry in sept 06 because it was the cup semi final.
it appears this will be rovers only other chance of appearing live on english speaking tv this season also.

Maybe so but why isn't the club building one so they can't use that excuse anymore and they'll be proven to be liars? I won't complain about lack of TV coverage until we have a gantry...no excuses not to come to the Showgrounds after that.

Out here in the sticks you have to pay for Setanta. Not like you sleek city types who get it free from NTL/UPC or whatever they call themselves these days!

Barring last night its certainly noticeable down here anyway. Weve managed over 3000 for every league game so far, that wasnt even happening the year we won the league.

Our crowd against UCD took everyone by surprise, even Murray commented on it in the programme.

Hopefully it will keep up but a lot will depend on our performances which have been poor to date.

Well done to the CPOs
