Hardly any discussion about football games this weekend and only one game shown live on clubber, Pretty much shows a poor interest level in the football championship. Disappointing overall.

Think there's a general bit of apathy across both codes from what I can see, actual just a general gaa apathy. I mean if Mayo hadn't won the all ireland would anyone be talking about gaa at all?

Only 2 rounds in and its this weekend on that it starts to become more interesting, definitely moving weekend this weekend.

But there's a buzz gone from wexford gaa as a whole, I know when ive been out and about the world cup has garnered more conversation. I mean its sad to see more people tuned into Argentina v England than the AI hurling final.

In wexford there's no buzz any more from what I can see, sure the people involved still are but we aren't really engaging the public at all.

No real change from the previous years to be honest. The weather has also been too good, need some rain to make people miserable so they need the GAA to talk about!

Big deal, they are now covering 4 football matches. They covered all 12 hurling games, senior and intermediate, last 2 weeks.
Who makes that decision ? Is it clubber or Wexford gaa?

Clubber. They pay for the streaming by selling advertising slots, annual renewals, and pay per views. In general they wont show games that not many want to watch, as it will cost them too much money. Especially at this time of year when they have so many counties to cover.

My understanding - and I can find out for sure because I know somebody who'd know - is that it's purely a decision for Clubber. And that it would be a business decision based on likely uptake (i.e. purchases) of streams.

I do know from one of the crew who used to be involved in Wexford GAA TV that a couple of years ago, there were only ten purchases of a stream for one senior football match. And that the number of purchasers for senior football was normally only a couple of dozen. But for senior hurling, any match would normally have a couple of hundred.

Easy to see from a business point of view then why a business like Clubber might decide against paying a cameraman and commentators for a football match that might draw only a handful of viewers.

Thanks for that explanation Pikeman, from a purely business perspective it makes sense when clarified like that.
I'm just disappointed that, as a mainly football follower, I don't have the same choice of games to watch.

Its disappointing ok. We need to try encourage more of our friends to watch them maybe?
