Replying To Pikeman96:  "For once and for all - RTE still shows as many or more matches free-to-air as it ever did. Somewhere around 35 from this year's championships, along with eight from the Leagues earlier in the year. If you want to, you can also add in seven camogie matches (two League finals & five from the championship). The GAA can't <u><b>make</b></u> RTE or anybody else show more matches. There's a significant cost for the broadcaster with every match they show, to cover camera crews, studio personnel, other logistics, etc. So, if no broadcaster wants to show other matches free-to-air, the choices are to not have them shown at all, or to show them on a streaming service like GAA+ The Australian rugby thing is not a like-for-like comparison. That was more like the SKY TV deal with the Premier League in England, where matches were only shown on the subscription channel, and none remaining on free-to-air TV at all. When's the last time you saw a Premier League match live on BBC or ITV?"</div>I don't mind games on GAAplus, the commentary is far better and the pundits are better too. The whole production is far better than any RTE games."

I dont know how the PRO staff ( new name communications network ) is standing back and letting other Sports stael the show . As I said take Leinster for example . The PRO work done by other Sports is unbelievable. The GAA is standing back and relaying on the goodwill of older people. That will dimmish as time goes on.
I say grab the Nettle Gaa Hq and get out there and encourage our youths to play our National sports .

Killing Fields ( ough what a handle you use why not use your own name ) when I say let the HQ Pro get team in motion lets start with promoting our National game not a Foreign game which seems to get preference . It a junior c Ladies Rugby or Soccer game was being played sure it would get prominence on most of the the TV stations.
As for Nothern Ireland Stations well the show melees when the occur and that is about all

Gaa people all over Ireland should demand that Headquarters up in Dublin should market our wonderful Gaa game in a fit and proper manner .
Take last weekend for example you had other Sports played in Dublin and you had such raZ ma Tass about it where one team won by a proverbial mile against poor opposition .
Then look at the Lions game , how it was marketed .
We are standing back and not telling well ll paid HQ Staff that the game is not being marketed

GAA believe restrictions on content is the best way to create demand. That is an outdated view in the modern competitive market. RTE have paid over 50k to show one of the loi clubs play a game in europe. What do they pay to show a county game? TG4 offer 11k to show a club GAA game.

RTE is a loss making business why did the GAA partner with them to create GAA+ business model?

It's all very outdated compared to other sports who use YouTube to sell the product. Look at UFC how the grew the sport. URC teams have been ordered to make YouTube content for fans. The sharks or stormers will show the build up to a game, half time talks, post game team talk.

GAA are stuck in the past because they are stuck to RTE.
