The GAA are bracing themselves for lower attendance figures and gate receipts in the senior football season as the All-Ireland SFC reaches the knock-out stages.

At last month’s Central Council meeting, it was revealed that gate receipts for non-provincial games in both codes organised by Croke Park were estimated to be down €500,000 from last year at €7.2 million.
