To the muppet who said that few play it and few watch it, i was at the All Ireland Final a few weeks back and it sold out with over 82,000 tickets and thousands were left outside with no tickets, it was the same for the hurling final also.
It never went pro because the high officials are too stubborn and want to keep the sport amatuer so they keep in tradition.
Yet its ok for them to charge €60 for a ticket and pocket millions at each game.

It should've, I prefer it to soccer. When I lived in Australia, I introduced it to a bunch of school kids,and they really liked it (hurling too, but I couldnt get much equiptment). I enjoy watching Ausralia v Ireland in international rules, since AFL is similar to Gaelic Football.

Lontopcat hit it on the head. However, there are a growing number of small teams around the world. Whether this leads to anything, only time will tell.

Usually end up with a fatal lump of wood in their heads first.
