52 pages on the Irish Cricket team in the General section and only 28 for Derry Tyrone (I know there will be more before the weekend) and 24 for the Munster Final which included a replay.

What's the story, this is a Gaa website?

The board in general is dying a death at the minute to be honest.

And its about an entire tournament

There isnt that many Munster posters on here, and with the qualifers interest in these games has fallen.

Rois, it's Cricket. Do you think cricket boards have threads about Derry v Tyrone?

Yeah the cricket thread started over 2 years ago during the world cup and has covered a lot of tournaments. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Just like society ,people have been claiming the board is going to hell since it was invent .

Think its about time the board was advertised a bit better get some new fish on board. Im from Tyrone and there is a strong northern group of posters but there are hardly and Munster ones and hardly any Dubs either.

The Miss GAAboard is a perfect example, there was near 1000 posts in 5 days on this thread and near 10000 views, 70 something pages, it was an innoative thread unless I start a thread no1 wants to know about it. I am incredible. but a bad speller.

when i joined the board there was far more talk in the GAA threads than there is now. Even in the Tyrone club thread in the middle of the season there is only a small amount of chat. HOGANSTAND has far more!!!!!!!

Sure with the number of GAA fans on here, you'd be surprised if they didn't have a bit of interest in other sports.

How true.  I bet if you started up a Miss Hogan Stand thread over there you'd be a hero there too.  Let us know how you get on.

This is not meant to join the annual 'the board is dying' threads.

This is about the level of interest in the Gaa on the board.

The Lions thread has as many pages as Cork v Kerry and they are only playing friendlies in the run up to the test match. How many threads have we on Gaa challenge matches?

The Football trivia thread has the same number of pages and it started mid April.

I have NEVER nor WILL EVER post to hoganstand. The reason being is that i dont know what the under 16 team of the year should be. I was just making a point that GAAboard was supppose to be a point for mature GAA fans but as Muppet has said the interest in the GAA side of it has dipped over recent months which is suprising considering we have started into the championship.

Time for a re-introduction of the GAA(board) Rule 42?  

C'mon, solutions not problems.  

The two sections of the board are not mutually exclusive.  Have GAA posts really fallen, or have the non-GAA posts increased?

And sure Tyrone don't play challenge matches so I've no interest in them.

You are right, but the question still stands. We have threads on rugby friendlies which I have posted on, Cricket which I have posted on, soccer trivia which I have pointed on. I post on the Gaa threads relevant to Mayo and the occasional other Gaa thread which interests me, but there is a shortage of them. That is my point.

Thats true  :D

I have noted that a lot of Forums be it soccer/gaa/general are not as busy/popular as they where.

Maybe people are working harder or unemployed now!!

I know that the rest of the GAA scene would have little interest to me as regards discussing it. Its probably a weakness of the All-Ireland and provincal set up, that Kildare V Wexford has very little impact outside them 2 counties and Laois who is waiting for them. A match in the EPL will have more interest to others as the result will have a bearing on the league table.

I have to say I agree. Think the GAA talk on the forum has been noticeably quiet this year. We definitely suffer from a lack of geographical balance. Very hard for anyone to have a conversation about a lot of counties because either no one's interested or, in the case of Munster threads, it sometimes gets hijacked by the Tyrone / Kerry thing. There are certainly a number of posters who spend a lot of time on the board but seem to have little interest in discussing Gaelic Games. Now obviously the non-GAA section is an important part of the board and I use it all the time myself but I've never quite understood the mentality of people who seem to be on here to discuss almost exclusively anything except the GAA.

I cant for the life of me understand Sligo v Galway thread is basically dormant, 2 pages and little interest on either side. Just dont really understand to be honest.

Didnt know you could look at stats of individual members but glad when I seen mine.

There is not enough rows anymore.

Too many posters told to bugger off if they aren't from the 2 counties playing the match.

imho, It has been a very low key start to the championship

Bar the Cork/Kerry games & Armagh/Tyrone game you would hardly have known the games were on.

The season will get into full swing when the Dubs get up and running. Their game with Meath was very low key, if it had been a ding dong battle things would be different

Most of the Galway posters on here generally only make an appearance in the week before the team are playing and the few days after the match. They then disappear into the ether again until the next game.

That thread will probably be busier next week but sure what can you say anyway until the teams are announced? (I realise the Mayo lads can fill 30 pages in about 2 weeks with every single permutation of team selection possible along with what the squad are eating for breakfast and probably who they are sleeping with as well). ;)

these computers have the gaaboard destroyed.

In fairness I don't think we could have said much more on Nicky as I doubt we'd get away with saying the actual reason why he was dropped from the panel.

I think there's a chance he might be back after the Sligo game but hard to say. Sammon didn't exactly shut the door on him entirely.

People keeping their clubs hidden as well doesnt help.

Morning Shane.

I think there is a bit of over reaction going on here, but the one thing that does surprise me is the lack of interest many posters have in game snot involving their own county. Some lads will give an opinion on many of the big games, especially post match but a lot of others don't seem to have any interest at all, which I find strange.

87 pages on the Derry Monaghan game. 

Its dying surely.

Too much twittering ?

Just because people don't give their opinion on games doesnt mean they're not interested zulu. 

The back door is ruining the GAA board.

Leave out the board in your sentence hardy and I'll agree with you on that one.

Fair enough but this is a discussion board, if people keep their opinions to themselves it doesn't make for great discussions.

A question as perennial as Posh spice and her cellulite. It must be June.

I think a lot of the posters are finding it hard to get credit from the ACC . The other thing is the championship is a bit anglo Irish bank in the weeks before the quarter finals , a bit of a zombie. Most of the players couldn't care less about winning or losing , a bit like AIB management there last year.  They know they will be bailed out by the back door.

Too many women using shite text speak and talking about shite and getting stalked by ziggy, clutters up the whole thing

The non-gaa section can be ignored if it bothers people. I would probably only open 3-4 threads in that section as you can usually tell by the originator that it's simply a back-slapping, aren't we great slabbering session. Although it's true that it does attract the moths who just want to use it as a tete-a-tete juvenile flirting chatroom, they generally don't invade the gaa section too often.

I actually think the gaa section is healthy right now. You have to go well into the second page to access threads that have been added to today.

Word of mouth is everything imo, it's how I found this place and I know many others who lurk here everyday just for local GAA news.

The "Public Services" In N. Ireland are reportedly getting rid off 100,000 workers over the next two years. I f that is the case, there will virtually be no posters from the North on this Board.  ;D ;D ;D
