The GGA's woeful TV ratings- Why so

[backinatracksuit]

You know in your heart mate and that’s all that matters. Did you watch it?

[Matty_Hislop]

Massive own goal by @Julio_Geordio here.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

No

@TheUlteriorMotive

Ssshhhh

I see what you did there.

[balbec]

All one of them?

[balbec]

Not if you only went there for a drink.

700k the all Oireland finals get and you would be lucky to get 400k for a semi final

Rugby & football steamroll the GGA in terms of viewing numbers

No that’s not correct. See below and remember that Sky Sports get around 40-50k viewers (not taking the UK viewing figures and Sky Go into account) for the big games, See here http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/columnists/paul-rouse/go-figure-how-the-gaas-sky-numbers-really-stack-up-377396.html

Irish Rugby game had an average of 572k viewers with a max of 789k. Seems shite enough.
All Ireland football final had an average over 1.1m last year for example

Does that include @rocko and the 14,000 others who watched it in Leopardstown after racing on Saturday?

I didn’t catch any of the game. I was watching Damien Dempsey instead. A terrific performance.

Don’t let @Mac’s negative vibes and comments get through to your psyche mate

[anon61956325]

How so?

[Matty_Hislop]

He should have remembered the rugger was on BBC too before he had a pop.

[anon61956325]

GAA is shown on SKY - so he’s ok, we are working off Irish broadcast for fairness reasons.

[Matty_Hislop]

About 15,000 people watch the GGA on Sky. BBC is free to air and has significantly more viewers.

[anon61956325]

You dont know who’s watching on BBC - so lets stick to the facts instead of dealing in makey-up half truths.

[Matty_Hislop]

BBC viewing figures dwarf Sky’s.

[anon61956325]

Have you definitive BBC figures for Irish people who watched the rugby match last weekend or are you just guessing that people watched it on BBC?

[Kid_Curry]

No-one watched it on BBC.

[myboyblue]

I did. Paulie was a revelation.

[Kid_Curry]

One then.
