Those grounds are embarassing to say the least so you want to con them into going to games instead? what happens when they turn up to a game in oriel park or hunky dorey park then and see the facilities? speaking of facilities, thomand park, best ground in the league attracted a whopping 784 people on friday night better facilities will only mean the people who dont want to go will have to think of a new excuse

Well enlighten me on a way to get more people to go to games

Do RTE pay the FAI for broadcasting, highlighting rights and then this money is split amongst the clubs?

Bit of a noose around clubs necks that they can't look into online streaming for all their matches (particularly for those aboard)without the consent of the FAI.

Didn't the FAI block Shamrock and Shels from streaming games and showing highlights?

Added to the prizemoney. So Rovers who would have 10 games televised a year get no more or less tv money than UCD who might have one. There is no tv money per say.

What we needto get is a streaming service (Premium if needed) All away teams get to show the games but home teams dont (This way you need to buy a sub of the away team to watch the game - Wont happen) Away club get a windfall and home team attendance is not affected But you know as well as I do certain clubs will find streaming beyond them. So what will happen is the progressive clubs in Rovers, Sligo, Pats, Derry will set it up and those who aren't arsed doing it like Bohs will get paid. The structure above won't work.

I think I read on here that RTE had no problem with the streaming? Someone involved in the Shels setup said RTE were happy to provide highlights to them?

I'm not sure what the fuss is all about. At present RTE hardly saturate the airwaves with LOI highlights. There's cameras at all the league grounds come match day, for soccer republic.

I can't see how streaming would effect RTE, as people would still watch Soccer Republic to see other highlights in games.

Rovers are very much on a yellow card for streaming. We also got lagged for posting hightlights pre Monday night while other clubs do it. They know Rovers are the team most punters want to see.
