With the new agreement RTEngland and BBC have with BSkyB. Maybe we are as well tell Sky Sports what we think as opposed to RTE. The majority will have dishes in 12 months anyway.
Sky at the cross?
I could find the old thread about this so have to create a new one......
Although not officially confirmed I believe Sky Sports will probably be showing the Irish u-21 game v Denmark in March. I think they've already shown games from Longford & Waterford this year.
With Sky already showing the Sioccer Show & with rumoured plans for televising the FAI Cup semis & final maybe they might be more interested then we think about showing the eL especially now non-winter football around the corner.
Sky Sports already show english 3rd division & conference games don't they?

Reporter: "Gordan, can we have a quick word?"
Strachan:"Velocity"
it would open the league up to a whole new audience.....not to mention extra revenue
Sky pays stg£100,000 for every live match it shows......
not too mention the professional approach and results that go with anything they have their hands in.
Drawback
Get ready for 11am starts to games if Sky come in though.
Hmmm, start a little earlier BUT get £100k: I can see a lot of Chairmen having sleepless nites over that one...Originally posted by pete

Will it really happen
come on though why would sky start televising the national league? their main fanbase is in britain and in my opinion most people over there are going to change the channel if a national league game comes on. i just find it hard to believe that sky would broadcast this league even though the standard is as good as the 1st division
I disagree. Many of those people in England are real football fans, unlike the gloryhunters who rule supreme in Ireland. They're the ones who'll watch anything that has a ball 4 goalposts and more than 5 players! (or maybe that's just meOriginally posted by matt

I'd be very surprised if that would apply to LOI games.Originally Posted by Pablo
Didnt they used to show the cup final with the rte commentary, i remember the final where one of the hoardings went on fire a few years back was on sky.
No offence to the north, but they have showed a few games from the north live in recent times no reason why they wouldnt show LOI games.
Er, methinks someone replied to the wrong thread.
