If you’re changing your season and scheduling All Ireland Hurling Quarter finals for June, well it’s inevitable you’ll come up against end of season rugby fixtures. GAA fans can’t really be cribbing about broadcasters allocating Primetime Saturday evening viewing slot to the rugby in mid June.

If you were playing All Ireland quarter finals finals in mid to late July, there’s no northern hemisphere rugby and the hurling quarter finals would get Primetime viewing slot.

You might find that broadcasters and sponsors of a professional sport like rugby care about the URC.

As regards broadcasting, the GAA had a nice window from June to mid September when they could have pretty much all their glamour fixtures scheduled whenever they wanted as there very few other sports on.

That’s one of the trade offs for going head to head with the business end of the soccer and rugby season. GAA are actually lucky this year that the soccer World Cup is in November/December.

Go to split season thread. Move whole thing back 3 weeks and it’s perfect.

Professional rugby is all pumped up shit. Look at the crowds for the Leinster match. I have said it here many times pro rugby will be dead in a decade. The sport is literally eating itself

That’s not the point I was making. The GAA have taken the decision to stage their championship this year two months earlier than it’s traditional place in the sporting calendar. Inevitably they’re going to lose out as regards scheduling and access to Primetime viewing slots because of pre-existing and long standing contractual obligation.

It’s the GAA’s prerogative to stage their championship whenever they want. If they’re going with All Ireland Hurling Quarter Finals on the third weekend in June, you might just end up with a 1.45 slot on a Saturday afternoon.

Rubby shouldnt be played in the northern hemisphere after the first week of may. The fact its still on going is showing what a farce it is. Blaming the GAA for bring the shart of their competition forward to mid april doesnt close the argument. June always had championship matches, usually it was provisional games but still was front and centre.

A shitty observation when the GAA has been more open with more high profile personalities feelong comfortable with being open with their sexuality. All sport needs to be open but that comment shows why it os still difficult for some
