Admin/Moderators: Any chance of making this a sticky??
Its reached 600!
Setanta starting new sports channel,anybody hear anything?
Todat FM said be provided on NTL digi service. Probably still pay per view at start cos only weekend matches but programmes during week from january 2005 so could be non pay per view then.
Its free on ntl basic service as far as I can make out so won't cost any extra to get it.It weekend only from August and then full broadcast from January on.Its going to show live Premiership matches and Scottish games.No mention of the Eircom League though.The FAI should have made sure TV3 gave proper coverage to the Eircom League when they sold the rights!Any sign of Eircom League weekly coming back or is it a case of maybe next week till the end of the season?Originally Posted by pete
I've made it a sticky for you and will leave it that way for a week or two to maximise the number of signatures you get.
tbh though, I don't think it will have any effect as RTE simply don't care and are a pathetic excuse for a national broadcaster. Still, it's definately worth a try and at least it gives people a way to show their dissatisfaction.
Champions!
I think you should also send a copy to Setanta and TG4, even though it's directed at RTE, to show both there's a market there for the EL as both could be in a position to cover the league now since Setanta have come along and are looking for programes and have taken the Celtic League rights from TG4.
What are the details of the contract that was signed with TV3? Do they have exclusive coverage?
No, anyone can show eL. They just have to have a weekly highlights showing 2 games and so many live matches a year, which of course they wouldn't dream of not fulfilling
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
So basically they can just do what they like. If the ladders can support Mr. Welchs slimfast diet they'll show it. It's an awful pity the media is such a joke in this country
They might say its a pity the league is such a joke.It's an awful pity the media is such a joke in this country

now here is a petition that might do something not knocking lads but if you go to RTE with 600 odd people they will just laugh you need numbers like the above to get anything out of them.
Hiya
Rather than criticising the petition to RTE why don't you spend a bit of time passing the link onto as many contacts as possible? IF you haven't already done so?
It doesn't matter about comparisons to other petitions, sure that could be done with 1,000s of similar petitions as it always depends on the subject matter.
What matters is getting the petition to RTE to show them that a certain amount of their viewers are UNHAPPY (and that's just those with access to internet).
We all have to start SOMEWHERE, it's easier to criticise than take action.

STephen Quigley of Pats has signed the petition NO. 697. But I doubt it is authentic!

#699 on mine!
j'accuse!
I'm the big 700
I'm no. 704. When are ye sending it in?
It will be printed out (after editing) and delivered to RTE in person as part of a wider campaign and not just some online petition on it's own.
It will at least help to do something to sort out the mess we are in at present.
Any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks for all of the support
And, before I forget, CONGRATULATIONS CORK CITY FC !! Well done to all!!

I had an idea. Maybe this has been thought of but then again maybe not. I was thinkin about that online petition that is going to be sent to RTE.
Well i was thinkin of doing a petition another way.
How many people in the country attend eircom League matches on average on a Friday/Saturday? If a petition was typed up and available for download then people could print it off and photocopy some sheets with tables for signature, comments, addresses etc.
I'm sure each eircom league clubs respective fan clubs would be interested in aiding this petition. The clubs could be contacted and asked for support also.
There needs to be a large scale movement to make a petition work. What do you guys think? The petitions sheets could be signed by lots of people after or before matches or maybe people could stand on patricks (obviously you can't if you don't live in cork) street and ask for support??? I'd be interested in helping out?
This petition should then be sent to not just RTE but TG4, Setanta and that crowd TV3.
ALL SUPPORTERS OF ALL CLUBS SHOULD CONSIDER THIS!!!
