Six games televised for one club and that club will receive extra money. Bohs half-way there already

Any idea what the ratings are like this year? To be expected but the Rovers-Rovers game didn't make the top 20 last week.

Desperate Housewives in 2nd?

Maybe our chairman last season was right

**Rovers fan** · 20/03/2009, 6:51 PM

Is it just me or should the televised game not be on the saturday or would it be too awkward? Ratings would be much higher because most LOI fans who would watch the live games can't, because they're watching their own team on the friday,when the live game is on.........

That would make too much sense

Rovers v Rovers got 109,000 or something along those lines, it was nearly double the audience of the Dundalk v Bohs game.

http://www.eleven-a-side.com/sligoro...ws.asp?n=36196 RTE love us.

Pity it's the game we're we usually concede at least 5 goals

**Larry 'da' Wyse** · 26/03/2009, 12:46 PM

Still, its good to see strong viewer support for Monaghan's games. 223,000 Home and away ;-)

I don't think that's a major consideration, to be honest. How many people attend games on a Friday night, about 20,000? Even if half of them (optimistic) watched the televised game it wouldn't make much of an impression on the figures.
