I agree with most of what you say but I for one do not agree with GAA-Go , in any capacity, there should be no such thing , in my opinion.That's fair enough. I'm just saying for the other games, I think there's a role for something like GAA-Go. For Mayo fans in Dublin who can't get back for a semi-final etc. Or where there's more than 1 game going on at same time.
Well, just be aware that means some games won't be able to view without a GAA-Go or something like it. There's no free to air broadcaster that will commit to airing every game, it wouldn't even be possible given that there are simultaneous games on.I agree with most of what you say but I for one do not agree with GAA-Go , in any capacity, there should be no such thing , in my opinion.
Do you still think that Carlow won't stop Offaly winning the Joe Mc this year .,...Cork hurling at club level is flying, especially with the reorganisation and the additional grades, there were bigger attendances at some club matches last year then many counties got at intercounty level. Over 15000 at the county senior final last year. As an example, Midleton are building 3 new pitches to cope with demand. Lots of success at underage intercounty and it will come good in the seniors sooner rather then later.
Offaly are also on the road back, both at underage level and senior level but still have a long way to go. They'll win the Joe Mc this year as I can't see Carlow or Laois stopping them.
The longer term dark horse to watch for is Kildare, driven by what is happening in Naas.

The alternative is most of those games not being broadcast at all. My father is too old to go to games now, he's a huge fan of GAAGO.I agree with most of what you say but I for one do not agree with GAA-Go , in any capacity, there should be no such thing , in my opinion.
In a two 'horse' race you would never know ....stranger things have happened.No, Offaly had a 2nd string team out on Saturday last and had nothing to play for whereas it was win or bust for Carlow
I can understand your father's positionband I'm glad he can see the games but broadband is a problem in a lot of areas still and the people in these areas can only see the highlights...not good enough , in my opinion.The alternative is most of those games not being broadcast at all.

So the solution is no one gets to see them?I can understand your father's positionband I'm glad he can see the games but broadband is a problem in a lot of areas still and the people in these areas can only see the highlights...not good enough , in my opinion.
But that has never happened in the past and is very unlikely ever to happen in the future.No. Everyone should get to see them .
That would work, but membership costs would likely have to increase to cover GAAGOs increased costs and cover the GAA's lost dividend payments. Would you need a centralised GAA club membership solution and would everyone be happy with GAA clubs passing on their personal details of all members to a private company?You will increase membership and the money will automatically flow to local level.
All easily solvable. Make it optional - tick a box if you want GAAGO access. Membership will increase - I would think - and the extra revenue should fund GAAGO increased costs. Lots of clubs already have opt-in extra sub that goes to a weekly lotto. GAA HQ doesn't need an increased dividend revenue stream. In fact last thing it needs is a top-heavy management superstructure.That would work, but membership costs would likely have to increase to cover GAAGOs increased costs and cover the GAA's lost dividend payments. Would you need a centralised GAA club membership solution and would everyone be happy with GAA clubs passing on their personal details of all members to a private company?
Who pays for that?No. Everyone should get to see them .
And they're all happy to stump up an increased fee to cover increased broadcasting costs? And they're happy that there's more GAA coverage and less of everything else on TV?The people who pay their TV licence every year . People don't pay it to watch fair city and the late late show , ok some do but not all. People pay it to see all kinds of programmes GAA included.
We've just cracked it so! It's already optional, well done usAll easily solvable. Make it optional
