Your Shout Counts! eircom launches GAA fan support initiative On Wednesday, 4th June, eircom, proud sponsors of the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship, launched its new fan support initiative, ‘Your Shout Counts’ giving fans the opportunity to ‘shout’ for their favourite players each week. Fan favourites on eircom.ie/gaa, including ‘Win, Lose or Draw’ and the Weekly Quiz, are continuing due to the phenomenal response received last season and incredible prizes including GAA Football All-Ireland Final tickets will once again be up for grabs. There were over 250,000 gameplays on the site by the end of last season, so competition is fierce! Photographed at Croke Park were eircom GAA ambassadors Colm ‘The Gooch’ Cooper, and Donie Shine; both of whom will join the other ambassador Karl Lacey in the Your Shout Counts initiative, giving their thoughts on the previous week’s games. In order to give GAA fans access to insights, opinions and opportunities to win match tickets, eircom has further enhanced eircom.ie/gaa which is easy to use and navigate on a range of on the go devices including tablets and smartphones. Fans can now make predictions, join a debate or enter competitions for tickets anywhere - from behind the hoardings to beside the TV. With Your Shout Counts, GAA fans can comment on their favourite players and match incidents over the course of the season through eircom.ie/gaa. Each Shout will be counted, producing a weekly view of who the movers and shakers of GAA football are in the eyes of the fans. In addition, each week GAA Ambassadors will choose their favourite Shouts and these will be profiled online and on eircom GAA social media the following week. All fans who contribute a Shout will automatically be entered into a weekly draw for match tickets, mobile phones and eircom GAA merchandise. The weekly online GAA Blog will be data driven, taking stats from fans’ predictions and Shouts, tracking what fans really think over the course of the season. In addition, the eircom GAA social media channels will continue the match debate throughout the week and also offer match tickets on a weekly basis.
