East Kerry havent done back to back yet, so maybe premature the talk to split them Also worth noting that Spa could potentially be leaving as they are still involved in the Intermediate with a quarter final to come v Laune Rangers. Other quarters are An Ghaeltacht v Na Gaeil & Beaufort v Glenbeigh/Glencar. Castleisland Desmonds in to the last 4 after beating Dromid today. Spa players have played an important part in the East Kerry success in the last 12 months. Totally agree with this! Spa are a huge asset to East Kerry and people should stop complaining until all competitions are over. Spa could very easily be a snr outfit next season. They had 9 players who played a part in last years co final And that was without an injured Dara Moynihan.

Mid Kerry may have left it all on the pitch v Crokes and are unlikely to play as well again but going by the two semi finals MidKerry look to be more clinical and efficient upfront albeit DC will improve EK in that area in the final. Where will the final be played. Will there be a curtain raiser? My guess is Sunday week, as for the venue that's any man's guess but usually the county board rotate it every 2nd year so my guess would be Fitzgerald's Stadium this year but during this pandemic it's any man's guess.

Pity it is not on free to air tv but if they can make more money by having a few hundred people stream the match, then i can understand to some extent

Live Streaming. No TV coverage. I didn't think that would be announced until later in the week?

Price to be hiked up to €20? Many elderly supporters with no internet not being able to watch the final

When you think of the uproar over the GAA selling rights to sky, the county board are getting off lightly.
How much do they expect to make from streaming. Surely they could generate as much in advertising revenue from being on live tv on a Saturday night.

I’d pay the €20 not to listen to that.

It's been a tough year financially for all county boards. There's a chance for them to recoup a bit now I guess. But 20 E is a bit of a hike. Will it be the same when intercounty starts I wonder?

I don't think €20 is the price point that will maximise revenue for the CB.

Not sure revenue will be maximised by individuals paying 20 Euro. Pubs will show it so instead of individuals purchasing for 20 Euro, a pub will purchase and cater for a hundred or so. So by one pub showing it could result in 2k loss and multiply that by all pubs in county and outside county.

This is a mistake by the County Board. Appreciate that finances have taken a hit but TV money would surely have netted more. To say nothing of the goodwill factor.
C'mon, €20 for a stream of a club game? - it's not Sky Box Office. People won't pay it.

Didn't Pat Spillane mention it on RTE. Big screen and pints Saturday evening throw in, good start for the pubs who haven't re opened.

Personally I will not pay €20 - I doubt I would have paid €10 for that matter. Streaming is a service that we should pay for and the County board are both right and entitled to generate revenue to the best of their ability from this prized fixture. Books have to be balanced and with no gate receipts the finances are in a bad spot for all activities this year.

Surely they could generate as much in advertising revenue from being on live tv on a Saturday night. I'm sure they didn't just go into this blindly. I'm not sure of the figure but I recall an interview with Tim Murphy and he outlined how much RTE paid for rights to a double header last year and it was paltry. The majority of people have been unable to go to club games due to restrictions on numbers this year and there is little or no income for the county board. I know it seems like a lot but if 3 people from the house were going to the game it would have been €60 to get in to see it last year. It seems that this is going to be the way we will get to consume sport in the short term. Think back to April and May and you would have bitten off somebodys hand if they offered you the chance to see a live county final for €20.

Personally i will pay 40e to see both the hurling and football county finals and i am happy to do so. The live streaming has been a god send as far as i am concerned. The money is going straight to the county board bar the 23% Vat and the exchequer can do with that too by the looks of things. There arent many matches left to stream now and i presume some loyalty is being shown to the people who streamed all the games so far. By contrast i wouldnt give a cent to any organisation that ever had anything to do with the Trump supporting Brexit supporting Rupert Murdock but again thats a choice i am making. Having said all of that i realise that money is scarce and people cant afford the 20e.

Ok i stand corrected and checked interesting that, would have thought they would have stipulated no broadcasting in licensed premises etc.

Forgive my technical ignorance but a couple of questions: 1. Is this streaming available for our brethren overseas? 2. If the match was transmitted by TG4/RTÉ. would that transmission be available for our brethren overseas?

Streaming IS available overseas. I paid $10.00 US to watch Crokes and Mid Kerry. If it was on tg4 we could watch it free. I already paid $150 for GAAGO for the 2020 subscription. They might be showing the County Final, Not sure though.

Last year I paid €20 to see the County Final in the flesh. It was marvellous entertainment. A great crowd and some of the best players in the County right there in front of you. The football was superb. Well worth the entrance fee and more.
Watching an internet stream is a different experience altogether. €20 is way over the odds for this and can't simply be justified by the Co Board needing money. For any business that is cash-strapped, overcharging is not the answer and invariably backfires.

First of all I don't think it's been confirmed anywhere that the price for streaming the final will be €20. This article says that in 2017 county boards would get €5k from RTE to compensate from the reduced gate when a game was broadcast. From Tim's comments, I would suspect it was the same amount last year - the bit about not even covering 300 spectators and tickets last year costing €20 - €20 by 300 spectators = €6,000 Given how poor RTE's coverage of GAA is I wouldn't be surprised if they were still offering the same amount this year. www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-30964229.html

Most people I know won't pay anything near €20 including myself.
