    ALOT of fans don't make it to away matches (bar supporters of Dublin teams playing away matches against other teams in Dublin) so I s'pose its good for these fans.

    I do get what you're saying Dancin. But still couldn't it be better for all of us on say a Saturday?

    Friday is the best day for crowds though, so Setanta would want the best possible crowds for the matches they show so it comes across better.

    So why show Shels?



    Should be a Tv night like Saturday Night Football or somfin, but on plus side if you on tv and are at the game more than likely local pub will record game and shoq it for drinking pontifications.

    Do you think Setanta think on those lines? I assume they'd rather the extra thousands of audience who are attending the matches on Friday than have a mildly better asthetic setting in the stadium of an extra few hundred fans.

    Well for non EL fans the more people there, the better it looks and the more likely they'll be to tune in to future games. EL games attract bigger tV audiences than all regular attendences combined by far, so it's that casual audience they're mainly going for. Anyway half the clubs are playing away, some not playing at all, so there will be plenty of EL fans around to watch the TV

    So why show Shels?
    When I saw you'd replied I KNEW you'd say that
