1658181 people werent blowing it out of proportion farney...that hurling final viewership was brilliant for what is a completely nothing sport in british terms on a subscription channel
yeah but most of them people were probably irish watching itsure the all ireland final on rte usually is among the top 3 watched programmes of the year but they dont get them numbers for the other matches its an irish thing just like the late late show and the eurovision compeition or the grand national people view these things as a tradition for them year in year out
_________________________ Good, then that means that the huge Irish diaspora weren't disadvantaged by RTE's intransigent position of making thse games available to "Island of Ireland Only". Well done Sky for providing us exiles with the one thing that RTE refused to do for years, coverage of our national games.

Also not every person can splash out on Skysports but it will eventually come to the stage that the majority of games are being shown on SKYSPORTS and it's articifial coverage Old post but what exactly is artificial about Sky's coverage?
I recently cancelled my Sky Sports subscription as the GAA season has now ended & I'm not interested in EPL & there's no longer Heineken Cup coverage. Might get it back in again next summer :-)

I'm actually doing the same. Lost interest in the premier league and the pro 12 (apart from watching the mighty Leinster) so I'm cancelling it. I will however re-subscribed next summer for their second year of GAA. I thought it was a very successful first year and long may it continue. Delighted I'm no longer forced to watch the circus that is RTE. Their hurling coverage is good but the football is disgraceful.
be better if bt sports had it keeper as anybody with a horizon box currently has it for free becuase of some mess up at the moment haha just type in bt sports number think its 429 or something like that and the channell will come on yet if you go along them just flicking it wont go onto it or if you click on the channell on tv guide it wont work either but it allows you watch it when you type the number of the channel
sky still have the european rugby version of champions league i thought or whatever its called now?...sky better than bt as more established channel and a lot of people have it already for the soccer and rugby so
