I came across something recently- at one point in the States local NBC affiliate networks could only broadcast NFL matches if they sold out 72 hours before kick off.
So... Obviously that's unworkable in 2016. But how about offering a partial refund to broadcasters if the attendance figures for their televised games is over a certain per cent? Excluding All Ireland finals and Dublin matches. The idea being it might encourage them to plough more in to raising the profile of the matches.

Offering a refund to broadcasters is simply unworkable. The GAA wouldn't ever go for such a proposal as there isn't a reason for them to
This wouldn't raise profile of games"
Absolutely. This is one of those silly season threads that should be reserved for April 1st."
Yeah. Sure everything is grand as it is. Like they said they'd never let foreign games in Croke Park, there would never be a backdoor championship they'd never introduce the mark in Gaelic football. Sure why not let other sports change and innovate and take more potential GAA players ?"]GreenandRed, you have a shoal of red herrings there. What has the nonsensical subject of this thread got to do with preventing the loss of GAA players to other sports? It is complete nonsense to suggest that TV companies need to be incentivised to promote the sport they are televising. It is in their interests to get as many viewers as possible and they dont need the GAA to be giving them back money to do it. It is November now and April is still 6 months away so I think I've said enough on this subject"]What has the nonsensical subject of this thread got to do with preventing the loss of GAA players to other sports?

The thread is about incentivising RTE to more people to go to games that they televise, a new idea here. Works in US, different ballgame, literally. Maybe worth a try here ?

The GAA in comparison to other sports can be seen to lack new ideas and that play has become more negative in recent years and crowds are down. Whereas other sports can see if crowds are dropping, or spot new ways of getting new player/supporters, and go and do something about it rather than say that can never work.
