Ungrateful FAI Delaney

[Tyrone Dreamer]

I thought the FAI were receiving a set fee, no matter what the venue. Just like the Brazilians (although not as much    ).

The Brazilians didnt care whether it was held in Dublin or London. It was completely down to the promoters who got a much better deal from Arsenal than the GAA were offering. Croke Park has long been the most expensive stadium in Europe to rent out, even though they did offer to reduce their price for this.

The deal from Arsenal must have been good if it covered what they lost out on ticket sales. They missed out on 36,000 tickets being sold at 60 or 70 euro a go (the corporate one's would probably be dearer again). Croke Park might have been dearer but they'd surely have made more money out of it.
