Hope emerges for Shamrock Rovers fans that European adventure will finally be shown on television
Stephen Bradley has made his feelings clear whether they should switch to the Aviva Stadium
SHAMROCK ROVERS’ European adventure will be televised — but only for those with a Premier Sports subscription.

But it is unclear if the Europa League play-off against PAOK, secured by Graham Burke’s winner against Celje on Thursday, will be on the box.

Rovers’ group games, whether in the Europa League or Conference League, will be in Tallaght with the ground kitted out to Uefa standards.

“If I had my way, it would be Tallaght as I think those fans deserve it.
"You can create that demand for tickets and people will want to come.
