No’s 2 and 4 in a World Cup year?
Thats been clarified already mate its a disaster for the GGA
Yup, the GGA gets its big ticket games on tv mostly on one widely watched Network (Sky Sports is premium).
Football and rugby share them with widely available networks not picked up on the ratings front.
For the supposed biggest sports events on the island, the ratings are poor.

Even an aul league game down in Kerry in February making it into the 50 most watched programmes - they will have to start televising the FBD and O’Byrne soon to satisfy massive public demand.

Apparently everyone watches the rubby on ITV.
ITV isn’t on the sky platform.

Amazing results for the GAA considering those finals were played in sweltering heat in the height of summer when most fellas would be out doing a bit or gone to the beach.

There were Covid restrictions in 2020/21 while Dublin v Kerry is the most box office matchup. 2022 exceeded 2018.
The traditionalists have no answers to that one.
Its 300k short of the 2017 figure. The day the GAA peaked.
Viewing figures will continue to fall.
The rise of Kilmacud Crokes has asphyxiated rugby amongst the aspirational, casual TV viewer.
