    No, but one would have to hope that it would be more than two.

    I think the deal is that they must show a minimum of 20 games over 4 seasons.
    Having only showed 2 last season, they are left with 18 to show over the next 3 seasons so I assume they will be showing considerably more than 2 games a season from now on.

    I'm not bothered about the time, I just wish they'd at least have a camera at every Premier Division game and at least one of the Division One games.

    thats true but an earlier time would suit most i think also

    I'd settle for one game outside the pale with more than one camera at it. The last longford town highlights that I saw didn't bother to show a sending off or the second town goal.

    I don't think they've had more than one camera at any game have they??

    Whilst I agree, there is nothing to stop Clubs having their own camera's at games - and the clubs that have done this have always got their highlights on eL weekly....

    I raised this on the Town site before, as surely the cost of paying for the camera will be off set by increased advertising revenue/ sponsorship that regular national television exposure would/should garantee....

    Town had their own camera at most home matches the season before last when there was f*ck all coverage (I assume for training purposes), but last season (with the Flancare sponsorship up for renegogiation as well!!!) they didn't bother...

    Clubs can't continually shift the buck, and bearing in mind that TV3 are a commercial station, as opposed to RTE's role as public service boardcaster (sic), they cannot be entirely blamed for making the easy financial choice...
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    Yeah we recorded a few games for the club at the start of the 2001/02 season for training. Didn't look too bad I suppose (well about as good as it's possible to make The Jacks look...
    The ball is round and has many surprises.
