NFL Division 1 2022

[An Watcher]

Derry City used to get close to 10k around 1990.  Nowhere near that now but still pretty healthy I think.  Harps as well would put the irish league support to shame

Tg4 are hardly in a position to broadcast multiple games and the games have to be played at the same time.

It's not about TG4 who  imo do a brilliant service covering the GAA
All the div 1  and some div 2 games (not just the televised live and deferred ones), are being captured on camera live with commentary and are fed into  RTE studios live, what more does it take to stream out these games on GAAGO?
Any other sports association with two morsels of common sense can manage to send out live streams of all their premier games. Even the LOI can manage that to a professional standard and make money. AFAIR the LOI only started streaming games a few seasons ago,  beginning with an amateurish operation.
GAAGO are not doing anything more than streaming some of the games which are already being covered by the tv stations.
They could stream all those games and for other games not being covered by TG4/RTE/Sky,  GAAGO could hire a broadcast unit, a minimalist outfit - 4 people, 2 cameras, computer hardware, HD/SD standard  and stream those games. And afterwards have the games stored in the clouds  for a minimum amount of time. Even I who never pays for anything  would consider subscribing to that.

What would the attendance at those LOI matches be like?

I am all for better quality highlights programmes or deferred coverage being available but supporting attendance has a part to play.

I don't know when the TG4 contract ends but none of the things you mention are a runner in advance of that.

Shamrock Rovers probably get average 3/4k  attendance for games. The rest would be around 2k. Cork City used to get 5k at games when in Premier Division.

With those sort of numbers you can see why LOI want/need to access a wider audience. GAA have much bigger league attendances.

Not sure the LOI example is one for GAA to follow

What evidence is there to support your view that live streaming is a substitute for live attendance, or that there is not enough demand for streamed service?
Live streaming service can function alongside regular match attendance experience. County GAA supporters are scattered around the country and  around the world.
Live streaming of games is a bog standard service these days and one which does not affect attendances.  Low match attendances in the LOI reflect the low level of interest in the games, yet they are able to garner enough subscribers to make the live streaming viable. Supporters will still want to go games, there is no substitute for the live experience, when your team wins of course. Even in low attendance leagues  such as the Faroese and Iceland football leagues, most all premier games, male and female, are streamed live in HD format,  add in selected 2nd division games and cup games.

Only from the 6 starting forwards throughout the league so far. It's worrying from a Mayo perspective which ever way you want to look at it.

Why is this stat important in any way? Surely the only stat that's important is how much you score. If you get all your scores from frees but still win I'd say you'd still be happy enough. Pat Spillane is the pundit who keeps talking about scores from play and imo it's totally irrelevant. Total scores is the only thing that counts.

Just wondering are scores from the Mark counted as frees or from play.

Counted as marks, not from play.

Kerry and Kildare will probably look at those stats and know if they are disciplined in the tackle they'll likely win tomorrow.

Had a quick look... Armagh has 26 from frees

This has been a Mayo problem going back to at least
1996.

Seafood picks on Mayo Football. Shock horror. Have a good look at your own county. Plenty of problems there for the last 20 years. Galway are not included in most stats for a reason.
