Eircom league/Gaa.

[patsh]

Probably but not as one sided as you'd think. The amount of people who watch soccer on TV (Irish, English, Internationals and Euroepan) V The amount of people who watch GAA matches must be pretty close.

As for the amount of people who go to soccer matches (international and all eircom league matches) V the amount of people who go to GAA matches wouldn't be totally lobsided either as a county like Dublin would get 50,000 at 6 games in GAA (300,000) compared to soccer where there would be 10,000 people at 36 weeks in the season (360,000) plus the european games and home internationals.

The point I'm making is that huge numbers of people are interested in GAA, just as there are huge numbers interested in football.
Saying that there are more participants in football is splitting hairs, as it doesn't mean that the GAA is a lesser sport because of that.

Quod Erat Demonstrandum

I was referring to certain people who phoned up a certain programme, not everyone

. . . Eircom league is amateur two-bit football as a well known Gaa tv presenter described it . . . . soon.

Air Band, did you make this up, or can you name the person who said this?
