It is not nice to hear about volunteers getting abuse for doing their delegated tasks - back to the whole private/professional security needs discussion.

Rovers changed their "Kids" tickets from 14s to 12s this year for the same reason . 18-20 year olds trying to get in on under 14 tickets.....Supporters????

With all games played on a Friday night like last night, there is no Saturday night game for those with a season pass, or those who might pay 7 euro for a high profile game. If clubs want to build a product that attracts TV revenue, they might have to be willing to invest in some staggered kick offs. Otherwise things will stay as they are.

no sign of the First Division games on the FAI youtube channel this week? I wonder if that was just a one-off to start the season. (The PD games were all uploaded Friday evening/Saturday morning)

From the first weekend it seems the Premier Division highlights will be made available early. First Division goals will probably appear today or tomorrow.

UCD's commentators have gone viral - 250k views so far for this from Friday, picked up by an SPL media account

I was wrong about this - the first division matches were all uploaded this morning, which is good

It seems the First Division goals will always be made available but we'll be made to wait!

Very little effort in the highlights compared to PD tho, generally just the goals, although as I keep saying some of the FD streams are barely watchable so in that case it's understandable.

The likes of ourselves and Galway should be using a proper cameraman and not that horrific AI ******! the quality of highlights from Wexford and Athlone are vastly superior f or instance.

**joey B** · 28/02/2023, 5:21 PM

Athlone and Longford put on excellent productions,put most other clubs in the league to shame......

**cláirseach** · 28/02/2023, 8:56 PM

Yes, I quite enjoyed Athlone's coverage last week. The Harps stream on the opening day was embarassing and unwatchable. Pixellot streams are a hard slog at the best of times but the camera angle and lack of commentary (a technical issue by all accounts) did not help matters.

I'm constantly saying this, how on earth can clubs like Longford and Athlone put on vastly superior products to clubs like Galway and Waterford, clubs that are full time and are in cities with any amount of access to talented young students etc. It's pure and utter laziness

Pixellot is a nightmare, but it's better than nothing at all. Clubs like Waterford and Galway with big resources have no excuse for using it over paying for streaming, but Harps just don't have the money to pay a company to do it. Fair play to the likes of Longford doing it on a voluntary basis, but difficult for everyone to do it that way.

Surely a county the size of Donegal the club should be able to find a few students or something? Plenty of money for all these new signing ?

Students were approached, ATU Donegal was approached.

There's f*ck all money for signings too. We have no money after it was all p!ssed away last year.

Actual playing budget is a third of what it was last year. Total budget including playing/coaching and all associated extras is less than half of last year's budget.

Heard similar misconceptions around Athlone last Friday night that we're a big budget full time side. Could only laugh.
