Not too shabby this season at all

Here's to it increasing next season as well

Would be interesting to see what clubs attracted the most viewers

Fair Play Dodge. Are you stato in disguise?

The first division game shown was at Finn Park, not in Athlone. Big boost for clubs to see that all premier clubs were on TV at least 3 times in the year. That's serious progress, and a real help in terms of getting sponsors on board.

Changed it now. Don't want Genesis using it wrongly or anything. The sponsorship thing can't be underestimated...
