Unfortunately the GAA has to deal with being no.3 now in Irish sports. After Soccer, Rugby. On the positive side GAA clubs are springing up in every corner of the globe. Unlike say Munster Rugby or Shamrock Rovers. Also the Dubs have massive support. Way bigger than Kerry GAA by the way.
How can our games survive in the land of its birth? I see paralells between GAA and English Rugby. English rugby is the little brother of the Premier league. But it is still thriving.
Like I have said- to be taken seriously maybe GAA will have to withdraw its support for the "rugby World cup". Because it will force anti GAA brigade to sit up and take notice if nothing else. If IRFU want stadiums let them build them selves! (at least it will get publicity for our stadiums)

yeah im sure there was huge interest in that u20s game...sell out croke park it would...your point is hill?..it was a good game therefore a good attendance with 2 sides going well..you seem to want a pat on the back each time the dubs turn up in numbers greater than the opposition..you do realise the difference in population in most situations?...yes ormond prop forwards are normally on the heavier side..second row can vary but also can be on the heavy side..the likes of mick galway are the exceptions not the norm..again you try and claim a minority is the majority but whats new there
