Rte must have rugby on Friday and Saturday night
Rte should have looked at Sunday evening or even Monday night as that much be much better than the kick off time.

This is still on tonight yeah?
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Yep but you wont see it because you will be in/trying to get into Tolka
Drogs vs Dundalk on June 1st live on RTE.
Bizarre choice of game. Not likely to interest people living in Louth, nevermind outside.
Fiercest derby in the country
Can see very poor viewing figures. Hope I'm wrong!
Hardly a big draw alright but would risk that just to see a game outside Dublin (just !) get coverage. There has been critisism of RTE for saturation coverage of the shams games todate so here at least is an alternative.
Are the viewing figures available anywhere. A couple of decent games on rte this year; Pats/Shamrocks and Sligo/Shamrocks, both had some good soccer played and the refs did not stole the show and ruin the games. The Setanta Sligo/Crusaders game was the best in my opinion.
Other options
Mons v Pats - don't think they can show a live game there
Rovers v Cork - and risk the wrath of the "why are you always showing rovers" brigade?
Bohs v Sligo - maybe, but assume Sligo going to be on fair bit (3 home games from 6 so far)
Bray v UCD - clearly not an option
Derry v Shels - 2 mid table teams
So it boiled down to Bohs v Sligo or the Derby game. Don't see an issue with that

OK Dodge, probobly should have said - game not involving Dublin team.
Do you think the chosen game will attract the highest viewing figures? I can see at least 2, possibly 3 other games there I believe would get higher.
Rovers Cork probably would. But if they were basing it purly on viewing figures, they'd be shown every week. Damned if they do etc etc

Out of that list Derry v Shels is the stand out if you ask me.

We don't all watch TV to throw things at Derry people on screen

Disagree. There were some great Drogs V Dundalk games last year, none of which were shown on RTE.
You've got no fans.
Grand. Saves me going to humpty dumpty park.

That's one of the games I was referring to that would pull a bigger audience.
Anyway, better they show any match than none.. I'd just be amazed if this isn't a very low audience.
Sure you wouldn't be tempted by the free package of crips?
