GAAGO - Rebel Strike (again)

Yes. People are generally OK with not being ripped-off.
Again, as has been stated to you around a million times. The issue isn't Sky. Nobody is making an issue with Sky on this thread, only you.
The issue is being ripped-off, by GAA-GO.
The clue is in the thread title.
So a Sky paywall is ok even if it stops members from accessing the games.
Paywalls are OK for the GAA in you opinion?
It's like getting blood out of stone.
 
I was ok with it being on Sky because at least that was an add on to terrestrial tv if people wanted to buy it. GAAGO is not the same because it’s an internet based subscription service that has excluded some who are not online. I’ve no problem paying for some matches but it needs to be tv based.
Incorrect.
You needed to be a Sky customer, have a Sky box and a satellite dish.
Terrestrial tv is digital TV, available with an aerial on the top of your TV.
 
I asked where you 'think' the money goes.
It's a subtle lanuage difference, the purpose of which was to highlight the tinfoil hat nature of yours and others argument.
The accounts are published quite publicly ever year and a large amount does go to the clubs and to infrastructure projects nationwide that benefit the public at large.
The point being that it all goes back into GAA.
Well with further income off GAA GO I'd like to see the clubs getting more money so if that's the case.
Not all goes back into GAA what about the directors who are getting a wage from either the GAA or RTE and then they have further income from GAA GO?

Clubs are getting similar or maybe an extra 100 than previous years.
If GAA GO is as successful as you say and there's a market than I'd expect my club to get a few extra thousand(s) so we would not have to rely on Sport Capital Grants and Local Fundraising Campaigns.
 
If people want to vote with their feet (for want of a better term)....from here on in, all remaining games in both championships will be shown live on BBC TWO HD (The Northern Ireland variant I believe).
And available on the BBC iplayer in Ultra HD (hdr).

Why are you putting words in my mouth?
I never said anything about GAAGO being successful.

Take off the tinfoil hat for a second.
The GAA is completely transparent about its finances. Why people need to be spoon-fed on here is beyond me.

The GAA reported a healthy consolidated revenue of €112M in 2023 with a consolidated surplus of €6.5M.
Gate receipts of €38.5M – an increase of 15% on 2022 – played a big role in these robust financial figures.
The increase in gate receipts was generated by a 22% increase in inter-county attendance figures with 1,697,778 spectators coming through the stiles.
For every euro generated by the GAA, 83 cents was reinvested directly into the development of the Association across clubs, schools, counties, and provinces.
€13.2M was invested in Coaching and Games Development in 2023, which was a year-on-year increase of €2.5m.
That’s the net effect of Year 1 of the newly launched Coaching and Games programme which will see an investment of €48M over four years with 350 coaches now employed nationwide to assist clubs.
Distribution to GAA units was €19.7M, an increase of 3m on 2022.
€7.2M was invested in Player Welfare while €8.5M was invested in the redevelopment of 25 County Grounds and training centres.
€4M went to clubs to assist them in redeveloping their pitches, club-houses and facilities while €5.3M went to club supports and sister Associations.
Spending on the Association’s International unites and their games development programmes increased from €1.4M to €1.8M.
The GAA’s Injury Benefit Fund recorded a surplus of €3M for 2023 and is ringfenced and can only be used to support injury costs for injuries incurred during matches and supervised training.
As part of the injury funds ongoing management, Coiste Bainistíochta has given approval for a premium rebate of up to 25 per cent per club in 2024 which will see club premiums reduce by over €1.3m next year.
The ‘Player Injury Expense’ threshold will increase from €5,200 to €5,500 and the ‘Loss of Wages cover levels increase for all players by €100 per week.
These adjustments will become effective from June 1, 2024, and are expected to reallocate up to €2M from the injury fund reserve.
