Premier League coming to Ireland?

[Bogball XV]

Ther is no question about the standard of the product offered by the Premiership nowadays. 

What?  Outside of Arsenal and Utd, who would you pay money to see?  It's become stale as a product imo and I know that a lot of people I talk to don't watch any games bar the marquee games, these are people who 5/6 yrs ago wouldn't have missed any televised game their chosen club were playing in (actually they'd probably have watched every televised game regardless of who was playing).
In november Arsenal played Utd, I heard Ferguson state in a post-match interview that it had been a great offering for the 1bn people watching it, I thought to myself there's no fecking way that 1 in 6 of the world's population watched that, turns out I heard recently that 8m people worldwide watched it.
I can't see this happening myself and it'll be a sorry day if it does.
