No wonder attendances are dropping when it’s becoming so damn easy to watch football and hurling from the comfort of your own home.
The 45 clashes that will be aired on TV this summer have been announced and Sky and RTÉ are ready to do battle for a second successive campaign.
In all, Sky will broadcast 20 GAA matches and 14 of those will be exclusive to the channel, including two football quarter finals.
Both RTÉ2 and Sky will be going head-to-head with their coverage of the hurling and football semis and finals but the Irish station will have 26 exclusive games before then to keep the public engaged.
The television action kicks off with a tasty-looking Ulster clash in Donegal with the All-Ireland finalists hosting Tyrone whereas Sky debut their coverage in June with Kildare taking on Laois or Carlow in the football.
