Quote from: bennydorano on October 08, 2023, 12:21:39 PMI've said it before - the big increase in supporting a county team with no club affiliation is another step on the road to semi pro imo. If the disconnect between club & county increases it's only going one way. That probably wouldn't bother county only supporters.

I don't know anyone who follows county only


does the majority of gaa fans not just watch county games as must club games are behind paywalls and  not promoted,

Not sure if this is a serious question. Do you not think the vast majority of 'gaa fans' are club players / club volunteers / club members etc?

I know plenty. Clubs can be very parochial by nature, and nepotism is rife. It puts alot of people off.

Presumably some are parents, are their kids not involved in the GAA at underage?

I assumed it was not a serious question with the talk of pay walls. The vast majority of club games are watched live where the only paywall is a biscuit tin on an old steel drum.

Not necessarily, I'd be talking ones with grown up children or no children at all.
