Clubber

(Oldest Posts First)

Just said id start the discussion on clubber lads what a fantastic service they are. I've watched several games already this year and it only costs 150 for the year which is good in my opinion given the amount of matches they show. My question is why dont the GAA let them show league and championship games which are not been shown on tv? The arguement of less people will attend games is just not true in my opinion

It's a terrific service, but it is 100% resulting in less people going to games at the local championship level, and would be the same for lesser league and championship games too. That will increase as quality of clubber improves. I expect Croker is conflicted on whether to feed the beast or actively restrict it.

There's the issue of who has purchased TV rights, surely you know this?

Got a gift of it at Christmas. Its good for what it is, but would I pay €150 out of my own pocket for it? Not so sure.
I don't have that much time to watch local GAA on it, but my sons will. Maybe the present was for them.

Whilst it great if you want other clubs championships, here in cork we had a streaming service called Rebels Online and was only 69.99. This year cork sold the rights to clubber so my cost would have more than double so decided against it

Couldn't get to Oulart so was happy to pay Clubber. Quality much improved and enjoyed the commentary especially from Ed Rowsome.

He had some good tales and hugely knowledgeable about Wexford and indeed knew our own lads.

I'd imagine it's open to Clubber to bid for the rights to those matches, same as it's open to every other broadcast media company to do so.

But equally, I'd imagine that the sort of money involved would be well out of their reach.

Its up to clubber to bid for the packages just like everyone else. There are probably enough games on TV as it is though, more than ever before, nothing beats just going to them.

Ed Rowsome probably knows more about hurling than anyone else in Wexford.

Ed Rowsome probably knows more about hurling people and stats than anyone else in Wexford.
