Why are every club in the 31 Counties continuously fundraising?
Because they get sweet FA from HQ.
In the 32nd county, the clubs do even more fundraising! More members, more fundraising events, more contributions.

Over a million of ye helps..
They get momentum, they go mad, here they go

And a huge misproportion of the National wealth is concentrated in Dublin.
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

True in some cases, but not in all.

A lot of GAA club grants come from the sports grant, my own benefited from this recently thankfully, its also heavily politically motivated too.
What is your club?
Inaugural Football Championship Prediction Winner.

And the real agenda emerges. Its Dublins fault where you are from is economivally unviable.

A members co operative like the GAA should be doing its damndest to help its poorest .
Unfortunately the GAA has chosen to do the exact opposite.

Absolutely! But the GAA preaches that it is ''of all the people''. The GAA has created a Monopoly. If you have a better economy, why not ask the fans with the better disposable income to fill the stadia around the country and in turn throw a few quid to Hotels, Pertol stations, take aways and see a bit of the country over the summer? Why do we all have to go to a clustered and over priced city year in year out and ye just get to stay there and have your championship on tap?

Bigger bar receipts

How much of a levy does your club have to contribute to the county board for coaching and games?

Yes, they have.

Now why did they do that?

Because the GAA put us there to raise money. Because its the only venue that can hold our potential crowds.

It is interesting that you want to milk the cash cow that is the Dubs, but down the sticks instead. Fine, I think a a couple of games on the road would be welcomed by most Dubs fans, but link this with the other row. We can raise money but cant get any of it back for our own use.

Hauld on, Hauld on! Ye are getting all of ye're money back! Looking at the financial doping figures.  So it's ok for the Country people to travel up to Dublin year in year out spending their money there, while ye sit on ye're holes watch the Premier League before you head to Croker. The spend of Mayo fans in Dublin way outweighs the spend of Dublin fans in Mayo.

The end of Gaelic football is at hand!  ;D

Because we dont get drawn in Mayo... This is getting very silly. The Dubs have carried the GAA for 40 years, some gratitude would be nice.

Why? I'm sure 40k to 50k Mayo fans would turn out to see such a game? Why shouldn't Mayo people have Big Championship games on their doorstep? Why shouldn't the local pubs taste some of it's business? Why why why?


on another note - Ye get to much gratitude in Financial Doping!

The end is near! How many Dubs turned up for the semi final v Galway last year?

The 31 counties have carried Dublin for the past 15 years with all the money that has been given to ye, when other counties cannot get funding for any coaching projects
