cooper_m lstwrd Love watching RGTV and dont bet. If / When Rte start showing it i will also watch it on RTE as i did as a kid.
cooper_m lstwrd Well done Dearbhla O Brien. Matts questions which were all one sided were well answered with the facts. Most supporters of underage matches are actively involved parents but on big nights all supporters turn up. Quoting 4 mth's figures is sharp practice. Tut Tut Matt.
cooper_m lstwrd How many will attend croke park for an all Ireland quarter final. Oh stadium doesn’t fill let’s not bother with GAA any longer. Get some perspective. People can now watch all racing from the comfort of their own home.
cooper_m lstwrd All sport is changing. Just because entry through the gate is down doesn’t necessarily mean interest in the sport is dwindling. Shelbourne had a full house recently for the Oaks final. We are in a cost of living crisis and access to all racing on tv and internet is playing a part
cooper_m lstwrd Why on earth is the GRI CEO arguing against the track attendance figures issued BY GRI via a Dail Question from MickBarryTD? Also greyhound tracks are all located in towns and cities not rurally. YouBetTheyDie DefundGreyhoundRacing
