The 2021 inter-county season will start at a later date than the customary January, though details won't be ironed out until later in the year.

"We are looking at our plans for next year at the moment. I can assure everybody that we will not be starting back at the end of January as is the norm, but it would be our intention to come out with a programme later on in the year."

Can inter county last for years without crowds ? I would of thought not .
Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

Would HAVE >:(
The public purse (26 Cos) will have to come to the rescue for 1 more year I suppose.

Unless I've been drinking too much again, there is no way on earth that it costs £15m to stage the AI Championships. Football is only 31 games, the vast majority of them local derbies.

My back of a cigarette pack figures are that tv money would easily cover the costs of putting on these games without spectators.

So the grant money isn't to run the championships.

Instead it's to replace the shortfall in profits that the GAA generates from the championship and then redistributes around the association.

While turkeys don't vote for Christmas, do expect a pile of redundancies, a pro-rata reduction in GPA funding, a pause on international funding, and the cessation of marketing and technology initiatives in 2021. Oh and that casement gets stalled for the foreseeable.

But the championship won't be affected. Only a truly crazy bastard would close the shop window when it's allowed to be open.

Isn't the €15m to go to Football, hurling, ladies football and Camogie a lot of which will go on players expenses from 14th September.
Co Boards have no income to pay those this year.

This is the crux of my point , how can county teams be funded with no crowds , limited fundraising, no season tickets , etc etc . govt money won't come in year after year as we head into serious poverty issues and quite frankly I wouldn't agree they should . Some very harsh times ahead , extremely depressing times

258 people at the Clare v Limerick game in Ennis last week. GAA claim they were all essential. They really are doing themselves no favours

TBF.

What harm is 200 people spread out in a 15k stadium in the outdoors with a lot wearing masks?
GAA FUNDING CHEATS CHEAT US ALL

Very little if they travelled in 200 cars.

Gate Receipts for the football and hurling All Ireland championships last year was close to 29 million.

Did that figure include the Provincials?
Connacht would have grossed around €1.25m this year and no doubt also get a share of the media and sponsorship €.
Then there's the losses suffered by the 32 County Boards on their Club Chamoionships e.g Galway c€1m.

The extra €15.795m announced yesterday -
€9m GAA (HQ presumably)
€5m Clubs - every club to get a few € ?
€1m LGFA
€ 795k Camogie

None. But if 258 were there the GAA are still playing fast and loose despite all that came before
