The clubs involved get nothing directly.
All TV money goes into prize money now at the end of the year so it's pooled together. Not a great system IMO because the home club will generally lose out in terms of gate receipts.

Prize money? Good one. They can make that up as they go along.
They do I'd imagine!
zero.

I'm curious as to why the 2.45 kick could have such a big effect on the crowd for the Sligo Derry match as distinct from any evening kick off? Any dip in Sligo fans was compensated for by the 500 or so Derry fans that made that match and I'd say as a consequence you had a normal enough gate for the match. If that match had been on at the normal time, you wouldn't have had as many Derry fans at the match.
For me I thought it was great as it enabled to get up and down from Dublin in the one day.
I've long thought that the league doesn't do enough for away fans. Friday nights are the worst if you don't live in the place the match is on in.
Clubs do not get any TV money.Originally Posted by adamd164
A pool did exist previously that was split between any clubs hitting a certain number of live televised matches.
Last time around the FAI simply changed the rules and paid no one.
They are being more upfront now and no longer pretend that there is a payout possibility.
A disgrace Harps are not being shown. With our free flowing football and huge crowds we would be a great advertisement for the league.
We still have Tony Doc, Brendan Bradley and Jim Sheridan playing for us, right?
The father of my Swedish girlfriend was talking to someone who works for Swedish TV who met someone from RTE at a conference who had been talking to a lad in the pub who knew someone years ago that they met at mass who said that Harps wouldn't change their kick off time
Jeez ye must be hard up if you have a guy with a broken leg playing for ye.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Not sure which bit is more outlandish - swedish girlfriend or rte spending money (on conferences)?
Yet the 62 and 65 year olds are perfectly fine?

Why is it that in the LOI it's every club for themselves and the cheerleaders in the meeja go at it? I know bias is good in ways, but any coverage is better than nothing (though rumours of RTE Sport being rebranded - SRFCTV - do seem to gather momentum in certain parishes, I for one welcome the introduction of our new overlords from Tallaght. Note to Chairman/Owner - settle debts with LCC and tell them they'll get 15c in the euro, and be happy with it)
That journo's weekly rant gets worse by the week.
What did he say when there were 0 live LOI games Pre-1997?
NL 1st Division Champions 2006
NL Premier Division Champions 2010
NL Premier Division Champions 2011

Oh please don't say 'staffer'. It's soooooooo American!
Next we'll be saying games will 'air' at 7.05
At least he's open about his bias, but he should be using his column to be constructive and push the LOI, not turn floaters away. Then again, he's writing for the paper of record (that record being one of hatred towards the FAI and LOI thanks to the ongoing shareholder battle between Irish clans).

Does anybody know if the Pats-Bohs game is available worldwide on the rté website or is it just available in Ireland?
Only available in Ireland AFAIK
Please God only on Ireland - painful watching
