Cup Match on TG4

Seems the Waterford Game is on the box

Good Vibes up in Mooneys for the Cork Game, great roar for the winner, should be good for the support who cannot make the trip.

No disrespect to Sligo or Waterford, but it really shows how much TG4 know about Irish football when they pick the Waterford/Sligo game to show as the live game. Possibly one of the worst stadiums to pick for a TV game. Harps/Derry or even Bray/Pats would have been much better options IMO.

**gustavo** · 09/08/2007, 12:23 PM

TG4 have gotten some great football and goals out of showing our last 2 games so they know they are on to a winner with us

**BrayUnknowns** · 09/08/2007, 2:09 PM

Lads, games at the RSC NEVER come across good on TV, it's looks shocking and there is never any atmosphere. Max crowd of 1100/1200 for this game i reckon and most will be in the stand and won't be able to be seen on TV, it'll as always IMO look like a grave yard. As i said i'm not having ago, i just think there was 2 much better games to choose from, just seems like they put no thought into it at all.

Well obviously they did as originally the Bray/Pat's game was listed as being televised. Perhaps they enjoyed our football so decided to pick ours instead

They might put the camera on the opposite side to the stand, I see your point though. It's terrible watching a game there what with being so far from the pitch and also the lack of atmosphere

Work has started, finally, on the new stand at the far side, so not only will there be no camera there, as far as I know, but there's no spectators allowed there either. It'll look like there's no-one at the match at all.

With that in mind, though, they might relent and allow TG4 to set up a temporary camera stand there, but I wouldn't bet on it.
