GAA Angry Fans

More and more angry fans are complaining about television coverage of big games. This could also be down to more fans staying away from the games and preferring to watch them in the – cost-free – comfort of their own homes or their local pub. Anyway, this week again, there’s praise and criticism in equal measure again for RTÉ and TV3.

Fans’ comments about the continuing poor standard of football this year are linked to more vocal demands for the GAA to take a really fundamental look at the format of the championships, with increasing support for an end to the provincial championships and replace them with  an open draw.   That, in turn, raises calls for the GAA to look at whether or not the admission charge for such games is fair or reasonable.

And even if the GPA go through with their threat – or should that be a promise? – not to do match interviews on telly, it seems like not too many fans will miss them.
