Every innovation helps. And a good news story for a change.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

A toss up between this and the LOI finances thread for this but Dan McDonnell has a few numbers on the money the league is costing/ bringing in through sponsorship, league revenue to the FAI is approx €1.5m currently and they're saying it costs them €1.5m which is conveniently coincidental!

Sponsorship generates north of €400,000 with the bulk of that figure coming from title sponsor Airtricity (sources say the league element of their deal comes in at around €250,000-€300,000), while EA are also key partners.
Similarly, the contract with main broadcast partner RTÉ also includes the rights for two senior international friendlies and women's international matches so clubs are now working off the belief that the value of the LOI element also comes in at around €250,000. Eir Sport pay a smaller six-figure sum for the rights to show games.
The remainder of the €1.5m coming into the FAI coffers is drawn from the clubs themselves in the form of the unpopular affiliation fees (which peaks at €19,000 per Premier Division club), payments for refereeing costs (thought to be around €300,000 per annum) and fine payments (averaging around €70,000).
Where have the FAI suggested they are spending €1.5m? Prize-money payments (€475,000) and match costs (circa €420,000) made up the lion's share in 2017.

Not at all copying Sligo's idea, but there's now a Northound-brewed Derry City beer on sale, which money to the club from sales (£1/L).
Seems not to be a seasonal thing, like Sligo's was. Considering Northbound sponsors the club anyway, and they already make a lager, it makes complete sense.

Have you ever won the treble?
