You should send a motion to Congress about that.

You could say the GAA doesnt really give a flying for the supporters given the ticket prices for adults and now juveniles as well for upcoming league fixtures.

You could say that the earth is flat, but you would not be correct.
Tickets are not any more in relation to other costs than ever they were.  If teams for going well and games are competitive then people will go, for instance Monaghan v Armagh is probably going to sold out shortly, and if teams are not going well thn ppoole will not go even if admittance was free.

U16s should not be charged for McKenna (FBD etc charge kids?) or league. We set off to Fermanagh last Sunday and it didn't dawn on us to get the squad of wains tickets until we were asked beside the clubhouse. I've no issue with the adult prices
Absolutely.

The GAA rip everyone off so why not get one up when you can.

I'll let you know what channel Armagh and Monaghan is on the firestick  ;)

I've had IPTV for years and don't mind ripping off the soccer across the water for 2 reasons - I wouldn't care if they went bust and disappeared, and that that will never happen as they're billionaires.

On the other hand, I wouldn't do the same for the GAA. I bought the McKenna Cup games as I hope that money goes back into the sport I love.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Who is the beneficiary of this "rep off"?

Yes, the Ulster GAA.

Agree with this. And while £10 for one game is a bit steep, wasn't it £25 for the whole tournament? That's not bad at all. And if anyone ends up arguing about who deserves All Ireland tickets, "who else paid £10 to stream the McKenna Cup" puts you in a pretty decent position. I was grateful for the stream midweek and will buy it again tonight.

Looking forward to the game later on anyway. Do Derry have a song coming out for their semi-final?

Itchy

Good work out for Cavan, Tyrone fielding a strong team and we've at least 6 starters to come back in to my mind. In some ways it is nice to make a final but this time of year it might be a game too many before the league.

Yes, the Ulster GAA.

Not the players that's for sure. Alot of men making a comfortable living off the back of the extortionate fees charged to watch or attend amateur games.

It will grease the road to semi pro, especially with Gaago becoming more central to programming.

The GAA need a dedicated channel. Covering all provinces. An annual fee of say £120 would be fair enough.

£120, G you nearly getting as bad as the BBC.
