Replying To Weaternpro:  "Has anybody else noticed the poor Championship Coverage in the Oberver? While I know it's not easy getting people to every ground abit of equal treatment of every grade wouldn't go a miss"
Like all newspapers, staffing numbers in the Observer aren't what they were and maybe the budget doesn't go far enough to pay for more match coverage, even for the freelancers that used to be a feature at many games.

They probably need to go to some kind of online subscription model to finance better coverage (they'd probably get it it back in increased sales, the interest in the club championships is probably higher than it ever was).

Still, it wouldn't take much to put the latest tables up. I know we can get them on the leitrimgaa website but a lot of older people can't access that.

The livetsream and updates coverage in this county is nothing short of a disgrace, i was given the clubber season pass for christmas and it is a novelty . Been able to watch a host of games from our neighbouring counties longford , sligo , roscommon and it is brilliant coverage . now beleive me , i am no tech expert and understand the broadband issue in places like cloone and drumkeerin etc but surely there is somone that could surely at least commentate a few games . It wouldnt have to be big senior games as i know the county board want to bring a crowd to them . But surely many people would enjoy watching the likes of a local rivalry junir game eg aughavas aughnasheelin ???

With all due respect to the two teams how many would pay for a stream of Aughavas and Aughnasheelin. Would you get 40 people? I doubt it. It wouldn't pay to have anyone broadcasting it.
